- Backend Engineer positions: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/gogograndparent/jobs/2...

ABOUT US

- GoGoGrandparent is a digital caregiving platform helping older and disabled adults stay independent, safe, and supported at home. We adapt on-demand APIs (Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Instacart, etc.) into a concierge-style experience tailored for people with cognitive, mobility, or vision challenges.

- Our engineering team is fully remote, tight-knit, and moves fast. You’ll work closely with founders, ship meaningful features weekly, and have real ownership over architecture, reliability, and product direction.

WHY JOIN US

- High ownership: You’ll design and build systems that immediately go into production—used by thousands of customers every day.

- Big technical challenges: - Real-time call center system - Dispatching + scheduling across multiple partners - API integrations with Uber Health, Lyft, DoorDash, etc. - Scaling a concierge operations platform - AI integrations - Structured development process - Big performance bonuses

- Impact: The features you build literally help people get to medical appointments, access food, stay independent, and avoid moving into assisted living.

- Great teammates: Seasoned engineers (all senior-level), async-friendly culture, and strong code quality expectations.

TECH STACK

- Backend: Node.js, TypeScript, MySQL, REST, GraphQL

- Frontend: Vue.js (nice to have)
