  • You’re creative and curious, and enjoy thinking outside the box.
  • You thrive in diverse, cross-functional environments, collaborating with design, product, data, and care operations.
  • You have a builder’s mindset, evolving systems from design through operation.
  • You enjoy sharing knowledge, mentoring others, and contributing to a healthy, inclusive engineering culture.
  • You’re an excellent, proactive communicator — able to translate complex ideas (both in writing and verbally) into clear, actionable solutions for technical and non-technical partners.

We're looking for you to bring:

  • Strong backend engineering experience, with a track record of building and operating production systems.
  • Experience designing relational data models and working with databases at scale.

  • Experience with API design, distributed systems, and backend performance considerations.
  • Proficiency in Python or transferable backend experience with a willingness to learn Python.

About the role:

You’ll work on core services that power how families find care and how Care Professionals do their work—systems that directly support Honor’s mission every day.

Depending on your interests and experience, you may join one of the following teams:

  • Workforce Team — building the systems that support Care Professionals, including hiring, scheduling, and workforce optimization.
  • DemandGen Team  — powering Honor’s public digital experiences and growth channels that help thousands of families find the care they need.
  • Growth Team — developing a multi-channel sales and communication stack (phone, sms, email) that connects families, Care Professionals, and care operations.

Why you’ll love working with us 

  • Your work will shape how people discover and receive the care they need.
  • You’ll solve real, complex problems at the intersection of engineering, operations, and human impact.
