About the Role: Carefeed is seeking a Principal Engineer to join our growing software engineering team. As one of the most senior technical leaders in the company, you’ll play a critical role in shaping our systems and strategy while remaining highly hands-on. You’ll lead the design and implementation of major projects, influence key architectural decisions, and may manage up to three engineers.

Our engineering team is preparing for significant growth, and we’re looking for someone who can help guide that journey. If you have experience scaling teams, modernizing engineering practices, and driving technical excellence, we’d love to connect.

Responsibilities:

  • Technical Leadership: Own major architectural decisions and drive the long-term technical vision of our product.
  • Hands-On Development: Write high-quality, production-ready code; participate in code reviews; ensure best practices in testing, CI/CD, and deployment.
  • Drive transformation: Coach existing team members on best practices in software design, testing and operation. Serve as a mentor to other engineers.
  • System Architecture: Design scalable, secure, and resilient systems that will support rapid growth and evolving customer needs.
  • Mentorship & Management: Lead, mentor, and occasionally manage up to three engineers; provide guidance on technical challenges and career development.
  • Drive engineering productivity: Evaluate new technologies, tools, and frameworks that can accelerate development and improve reliability.

Qualifications:

  • 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong expertise in backend or full-stack development.
  • Proven success designing and implementing large-scale systems and leading high-impact projects
  • Deep knowledge of modern software practices, such as continuous deployment and software testing.
  • 3+ years of engineering management experience; you’ve been both a technical lead and people manager and understand how to balance the two.
  • Strong understanding of AWS (or similar cloud platforms) and the ability to coach teams on modern infrastructure practices
  • Experience working with distributed teams; comfortable leading in a hybrid environment (role based in Chicago, with team members across the U.S., including our Cincinnati HQ).

Work Location: Chicago, IL (Hybrid)

What You’ll Love:

  • Join a fast-growing startup making a real impact in the lives of senior care providers and their communities
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance to support your health and well-being
  • 401(k) plan to help you plan for the future
  • Paid vacation, sick time, and company-paid holidays to support work-life balance
  • A culture that values growth and development, with opportunities to grow your career as we scale

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
