We saw a problem no one was solving. Our founders watched their own families navigate the broken, stressful world of senior care payments and decided to fix it. Sunbound is building the financial OS for senior living: the first modern platform that manages the entire payments process end-to-end, saving operators time, reducing costs, and removing unnecessary stress for families.
We deeply care about who we serve. Seniors are one of the most underserved populations in the country. Our mission is simple - make managing money for senior living easy, so our customers can focus on delivering quality housing and care.
We're growing fast… really fast. Since launching in mid-2023, we've scaled to thousands of families, crossed 7 figures in ARR, and are growing over 30% month-over-month. The senior living market is a $230B+ opportunity, and we're just getting started as the baby boomer generation continues to age into care.
We're backed by the best. We recently closed our Series A with top-tier investors including TTV Ventures, Fika Ventures, Bling Capital, Liquid2 Ventures, Cambrian Ventures, and Max Ventures - firms that have collectively backed 20+ unicorns like Square, Lyft, and Rippling. We also have strategic backing from industry heavyweights LiveOak Bank and Omega Healthcare Investors, the largest Skilled Nursing-focused REIT.
Our team. We're a tight-knit, driven crew with hubs in NYC and Washington, DC - working on a problem that genuinely matters.
We're looking for a hands-on Software Engineer with strong Python skills to join our team. This role will partner with the CTO and operations teams to focus on improving day-to-day operations workflows, owning and maintaining the internal tooling backbone, and unblocking operational friction across our business.
You'll be stepping into a role previously held by our CTO and co-founder, and you'll play a critical part in supporting and scaling the infrastructure behind our products and services.
This is a high-impact, high-context role that combines software engineering, internal tooling, and operational excellence.
Own and evolve our internal Python-based tooling platform used across engineering and ops.
Build and maintain operational automation scripts, developer tools, and workflow integrations.
Debug and resolve blocking operational issues across deployment pipelines, environments, and infrastructure.
Collaborate closely with the Ops team to improve efficiency and reduce manual effort through automation.
Partner with engineering teams to streamline internal processes like customer onboarding and support tooling.
Monitor and improve reliability of key internal systems and support services.
Occasionally serve as a point of escalation for high-priority operational incidents
Drive development and implementation of AI tools and features within the business operations
6-12 years of experience in software engineering or operations roles, ideally in high-growth environments.
Strong Python skills. You've built and maintained internal tools, scripts, or small services.
Familiarity with TypeScript. You may need to modify or add new endpoints to our TypeScript APIs to support improving existing workflows or building new ones
A generalist mindset: you're comfortable wearing multiple hats and context-switching when needed.
Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach to cross-team work.
A bias for pragmatism and iteration. You can solve today's problems without over-engineering for tomorrow.
Born from personal experience. Our founders watched their own families struggle with broken senior care payments and built the solution they wished existed.
Comprehensive benefits. We cover 90% of employee health benefit premiums because we believe your wellbeing shouldn't be a financial stress.
Unlimited PTO and we mean it. Take the time you need, when you need it. We actively encourage our team to disconnect and recharge; you can't do your best work running on empty.
欄 People first, always. We're a team that genuinely invests in each other. Our values - resilience, care, teamwork, and attention to detail - aren't wall art; they're how we operate every day.
Be part of something big. Senior living is a massive, underserved market and we're moving fast to change how operators manage their revenue. You'll join at an exciting inflection point where your work has real, visible impact.
Grow with us. As we scale, so does the opportunity. You'll have real ownership, a seat at the table, and room to build something that matters.
We are an equal opportunity employer. We welcome amazing people from all backgrounds, experiences, abilities, and perspectives. If you need a reasonable accommodation during the application process, email us at apply@sunboundhomes.com
