Who We Are

Caresma is on a mission to reinvent elder care — using AI to source, train, and match carers with families, supported by training, safety, and monitoring tools.

We’re live, revenue-generating, and VC-backed, led by a seasoned team with top-tier investors.

We’re hiring a founding engineer to build AI that makes a real impact — with urgency, purpose, and ambition.

What You’ll Do

You’ll be our go-to tech builder, helping ship scrappy but smart AI-powered applications across use cases like:

• AI Companion for Elders – Think GPT+Voice+Games+Emotional Intelligence
• AI Interviewer & Trainer – Interactive avatars doing carer training, assessments
• Sensor & Video Analytics – Fall detection, behavior recognition, pattern flagging

You’ll work end-to-end: from prototype to production. You’ll also contribute to product design, technical architecture, and help shape the tech roadmap. You will use existing tools. models for these applications (e.g., LLM, video pattern recognition), not produce new ones.

Tech Stack

As a first engineer, your input will be essential in determining our tech foundations. However, we expect some solid knowledge in at least some of the below:

• AI APIs / Tools: OpenAI, Deepgram, AssemblyAI, Fliki, Replicate, LangChain, Hugging Face
• DevOps: Docker, setting up GitHub actions for CI/CD, good knowledge of some hosting platform like Vercel
• Other: WebRTC, Twilio, Stream, real-time voice/video integrations
• Bonus: Familiarity with computer vision or IoT/sensor data

You Are a Fit If You...

• Are a senior full-stack engineer who can build fast and deliver real product
• Have experience shipping AI apps, utilizing and fine-tuning existing models
• Think in end-to-end flows: APIs, infra, UX, business value
• Thrive in ambiguity - you’re scrappy, self-directed, and love early-stage chaos
• Love building things from scratch and want to own the outcome
• Are motivated by impact, equity, and mission, not just salary
• Want to be part of something meaningful, not just another app

What We Offer

• Founding team level equity (negotiable)
• Competitive salary (adjusted for stage)
• Chance to build the future of elder care with cutting-edge AI
• Fast, execution-focused team. No fluff. High impact.
• VC-backed with financial runway and growth mindset
• CTO path

The Process

• Initial Conversation: We 'll discuss your past experiences, aspirations and what we’re seeking in this role.
• Case-Solving Exercise: You’ll have the chance to demonstrate how you approach challenges and lead discussions.
• Meet the team: Connect in person with the Founder & CEO and key members of our entrepreneurial team.
