HHAeXchange is the leading technology platform for home and community-based care. Founded in 2008, HHAeXchange was born out of an idea to create an end-to-end homecare solution to help people who are aging or have disabilities thrive in their homes and communities. Our employees are passionate about transforming the healthcare space by building the only homecare ecosystem that fully connects patients, caregivers, home care provider agencies, and payers.

We're seeking an experienced Lead Engineer to drive the technology vision and development of our next-generation home care agency and caregiver platform. This role is a great fit for someone who wants to make a difference for tens of thousands of caregivers and families, working alongside a passionate and focused team. You’ll work across the full stack — from intuitive frontends to scalable backend services — diving into technologies like Go, PostgreSQL, Redis, SQS, Kubernetes, and GenAI tooling. You must value a ‘startup-like’ culture on a small but mighty team that unlocks rapid iteration cycles through a quick but thoughtful decision-making process.

To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential job duty satisfactorily. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
