About Sunbound
Company. Sunbound is building the “financial OS for senior care”. The current senior care payments experience is broken which increases costs and inefficiencies for senior living operators while making it confusing, cumbersome and stressful for families. Sunbound was created to solve this problem by building the first modern platform to handle this process end-to-end and save operators and families time, money and effort.
Mission. Our founders were inspired to start the business after seeing the pain points firsthand with their own families, and deeply care about helping one of the most overlooked groups in our population: seniors. Sunbound’s mission is to make managing money for senior living easy, so our customers can focus on what really matters: providing quality housing & care.
Team. We have 12 people in total, with 3 in engineering. Stu leads our eng team and we’re focusing on growing hubs in NYC (downtown Brooklyn) + Washington DC.
Traction. Since launching in mid-2023, we now serve 150+ senior living communities and thousands of families. We’re currently doing 7 figures in ARR.
Growth. Sunbound has absolutely caught fire as a business, growing 30% month-over-month. The senior living market is massive at >$230b and is expected to grow rapidly as the “baby boomer” generation continues to age.
Funding. We recently closed an oversubscribed seed round with top-tier investors, including Fika Ventures, Bling Capital, Liquid2 Ventures, and Cambrian Ventures, who have collectively backed companies like Square, Lyft, and Rippling.
Tech stack. React, Express, Node, TypeScript, Tailwind, AWS (e.g. CDK, DynamoDB).
About the role
We're looking to hire a full-stack software engineer to join our 3-person engineering team to help improve our processes and build new products. This early role will carry opportunities to shape company culture and technical direction. Ideal candidates will be passionate about collaborative problem solving, learning new things, and creatively adding value to our business.
Responsibilities
Be responsible for product architecture and implementation. When do we need a fast, disposable solution versus a robust, scalable extensible one? Help decide!
Help shape engineering team workflow and structure. Our team and business are growing! We need to refine the way we define, track, and prioritize projects. We need to refine the way we collaborate cross-functionally. We need to refine the way multiple developers can work on overlapping projects without getting in each others way.
Be an active voice in product ideation and direction. While implementing solutions is important, helping us identify which problems to prioritize and proposing solutions is even better.
Scale our offline processes through internal tooling and new product features. As we work with more communities, we won’t be able to rely on the manual scripts we’ve been using so far to manage things like external reporting and resolving payment failures, so having your help to build these into our platform will be critical in maximizing our developer productivity and allowing us to scale.
What we expect from you:
6+ years of experience in software development
Proficiency across our tech stack: React, Node, TypeScript, and AWS. (React experience is less important than Node.)
Clear communication with non-technical stakeholders. This is a highly cross-functional role with our tight-knit team of other full-stack engineers, a designer, and our operations team.
Intentional thinking around product decisions. As one of our early engineers, you’ll have a ton of ownership over our product direction and which problems we solve and in what order
Ability to work in-person (hybrid, 2-3 days per week, preferably midweek) in NY or DC.
Bonus qualifications
Fintech experience
Experience automating manual workflows and building internal devtools to optimize developer productivity.
Why join us:
Low-ego, tight-knit, collaborative, high-performing team
Product-led culture with continuous improvement, blameless post-mortems and intellectual honesty
A committed group of individuals laser-focused on our mission → making managing money for senior living easy, so our customers can focus on what really matters
A group full of ambition - we know we can, and will, achieve great things
Timing! Sunbound is at an inflection point. Every month, we reach new levels of scale. We’ve proven we can execute on the basics; now we need to repeat and build on that success. This provides stability, while still being early enough that there are lots of opportunities for full ownership of new projects, and we can also give meaningful equity in the business’s success.
Equal opportunity employment
We are an equal opportunity employer. We search for amazing people of diverse backgrounds, experiences, abilities, and perspectives. We take care of each other to create an inclusive work environment where we love to come to work every day. We'd be happy to provide reasonable accommodations to help you apply – just email us at manny@sunboundhomes.com. We hope you can join us.
