About Us
The first baby boomers turn 80 this year. Over the next decade, the population most likely to need daily care will grow faster than the buildings, the staff, or the systems available to serve it.
Sage is the care intelligence platform for senior living and skilled nursing. We connect the hardware senior care runs on, including nurse call, fall management, and wander management, with software caregivers actually use. That consistent use is what produces reliable data, and reliable data is what gives operators a true picture of how their communities are running.
Sage is a collaborative team of ambitious, multi-disciplinary entrepreneurs on a mission to reinvent senior care with a modern operating system for caregivers. Millions of people depend on this care getting better, and we move with the urgency that deserves.
Somewhere in a senior living community right now, a camera and a small computer are working together to figure out whether the person who just fell is okay. The community’s network connection may be fiddly and unreliable, and the deployed hardware has its own quirks. That system is one of thousands just like it, running software your team wrote, doing work that matters if something goes wrong.
This is the job: building and evolving the systems that enable edge hardware (including cameras and other sensors), and cloud infrastructure to work together reliably, at scale, even when a connection drops or a device behaves in a way nobody planned for.
If you've spent real time in Linux, networking, or hardware because you were curious rather than because a job required it, we think you could thrive in this role. We care less about whether you've used our exact stack before and more about whether you're the kind of engineer who takes a system apart, mentally or literally, until you understand why it works.
You'll define the architecture for Sage's edge computing platform, own hard and often unsolved problems (e.g. fall detection, resident location tracking, integrating unpredictable third-party hardware), and help set the technical bar for the engineering org. You'll also mentor other engineers and be a voice in how we build, not just what we build.
This describes the kind of engineer who tends to thrive in this role. If most of it sounds like you, we want to hear from you, even if your resume doesn't map cleanly onto "IoT engineer."
Re: years of experience: we're not fixated on the number. We care about depth and range. Someone with 6 years of genuinely varied, hands-on systems work will often be a stronger fit than someone with 10 years in a narrow web stack. If you're unsure whether your background counts, apply anyway and let us figure that out together.
