Job Description
Job DescriptionAbout Sunbound
Company. Sunbound is building the "financial OS for senior care." The current senior care payments experience is broken—leading to higher costs, operational inefficiencies for senior living operators, and unnecessary stress for families. Sunbound solves this by delivering the first modern platform to manage this process end-to-end, saving operators and families time, money, and effort.
Mission. Our founders were inspired to start the business after seeing these challenges firsthand with their own families. We deeply care about supporting one of the most underserved groups in our population: seniors. Sunbound's mission is to make managing money for senior living easy—so our customers can focus on what really matters: providing quality housing and care.
Team. We're a tight-knit, driven team with hubs in NYC and Washington, DC.
Traction. Since launching in mid-2023, we now serve thousands of families and are doing 7 figures in ARR.
Growth. Sunbound is on fire—growing over 30% month-over-month. The senior living market is a massive and fast-growing $230B+ opportunity as the "baby boomer" generation continues to age.
Funding. We recently closed our Series A from top-tier investors including TTV Ventures, Fika Ventures, Bling Capital, Liquid2 Ventures, Cambrian Ventures and Max Ventures. These firms have collectively backed over 20 unicorns such as Square, Lyft and Rippling. We also have backing from key industry participants including LiveOak Bank and Omega Healthcare Investors (the largest Skilled Nursing focused REIT).
About the Role
We're looking for a hands-on Software Engineer with strong Python skills to join our team. This role will partner with the CTO and operations teams to focus on improving day-to-day operations workflows, owning and maintaining the internal tooling backbone, and unblocking operational friction across our business.
You'll be stepping into a role previously held by our CTO and co-founder, and you'll play a critical part in supporting and scaling the infrastructure behind our products and services.
This is a high-impact, high-context role that combines software engineering, internal tooling, and operational excellence.
Responsibilities
-
Own and evolve our internal Python-based tooling platform used across engineering and ops.
-
Build and maintain operational automation scripts, developer tools, and workflow integrations.
-
Debug and resolve blocking operational issues across deployment pipelines, environments, and infrastructure.
-
Collaborate closely with the Ops team to improve efficiency and reduce manual effort through automation.
-
Partner with engineering teams to streamline internal processes like customer onboarding and support tooling.
-
Monitor and improve reliability of key internal systems and support services.
-
Occasionally serve as a point of escalation for high-priority operational incidents
-
Drive development and implementation of AI tools and features within the business operations
Skills and Qualifications
-
6-12 years of experience in software engineering or operations roles, ideally in high-growth environments.
-
Strong Python skills. You've built and maintained internal tools, scripts, or small services.
-
Familiarity with TypeScript. You may need to modify or add new endpoints to our TypeScript APIs to support improving existing workflows or building new ones
-
A generalist mindset: you're comfortable wearing multiple hats and context-switching when needed.
-
Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach to cross-team work.
-
A bias for pragmatism and iteration. You can solve today's problems without over-engineering for tomorrow.
Why Sunbound
-
Collaborative, mission-driven team that cares deeply about making an impact in senior care and doing right by our customers
-
Product-led culture with a focus on continuous improvement, learning, and transparency
-
Real ownership in building customer-facing functions from the ground up
-
Opportunity to shape the future of the business and grow with us as we scale
