Head of Software Engineering

Sage is on a mission to improve the quality of life for older adults, starting with those residing in senior living communities. Falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths among adults over 65. At the same time, fall prevention and emergency response systems for older adults are archaic and ineffective. This issue is exacerbated by the inefficient procedures that operators of these communities are forced to use to provide care to their residents. Sage's integrated software aims to reinvent how we care for and respond to older adults in times of need. We aim to build a platform that gives caregivers the means to provide care for modern aging. Sage is a growing team of ambitious, multi-disciplinary entrepreneurs. We are a software-enabled, mission-driven company, and are focused only on the problems that are central to achieving that mission. At Sage, we work hard and fast but also know that to build a truly successful company, we need to treat our work as a marathon, and not a sprint. The journey matters. We know when to slow down, take breaks, and have fun. About this Role We're looking for a Head of Software Engineering to lead our software engineering team into its next chapter. You'll be responsible for scaling our engineering organization, defining and executing our technical strategy, and serving as a critical thought partner to the executive team. As the team's most senior software engineering leader, your primary focus will be on building, developing, and supporting a world-class team of engineers – and fostering a culture that values excellence, pride in your work, and relentlessly focusing on our users. This role requires someone who is strategic, inspirational, and operational. You should be a strong systems thinker who can decompose complex, ambiguous challenges into clear roadmaps and guide the team toward execution. You'll also be an active mentor, ensuring that Sage remains a place where engineers come to do the best work of their careers. While you won't be expected to ship code daily, you should have the technical depth and credibility to dive into the weeds when needed. This role reports to the CTO and will partner closely with Product, Design, and Operations.
