  • You ensure the final product across the team is of high quality and the clients benefit from our attention to detail and debugging procedures.
  • 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.
  • You're quick to spot inefficiencies in processes across your team and engineering and make actionable steps and recommendations to amend them.
What you 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.
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS preferred) and service-oriented architectures.
  • Experience with API design, distributed systems, and backend performance considerations.
  • Proficiency in Python or transferable backend experience with a willingness to learn Python.
  • Familiarity with frontend technologies such as React (Next.js/Vite/etc), Typescript, and Tailwind.
  • Experience with using AI tooling to assist with productivity in both coding and deployment
Where you'll work

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.

You'll be working with the DemandGen Team — powering Honor's public digital experiences and growth channels that help thousands of families find the care they need.

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.
  • You'll collaborate with thoughtful, mission-driven teammates across engineering, product, design, and operations.
  • You'll have ownership, autonomy, and the opportunity to grow as both an engineer and a product-minded technologist.
