GoGoGrandparent, a YC S16 startup building digital caregiving tools for older adults, is hiring back end engineers for its fully remote team. The company adapts on-demand services like Uber and DoorDash into a concierge-style experience for people with cognitive, mobility, or vision challenges.

Engineers will work with Node.js, TypeScript, and MySQL on a mission-driven team that ships weekly. The role offers $80k – $160k salary based on location and experience, requiring 6+ years of professional experience and ability to overlap with US time zones. The tech stack includes REST + GraphQL APIs and AWS deployment.

The company discovered that smartphone interfaces create barriers for older adults managing rides and deliveries. Their solution handles the 'micro steps' like tracking drivers, updating payment info, and navigating app interfaces that become harder with age. This 'management layer' approach extends beyond transportation to other services seniors struggle with.
