Staff Software Engineer – Web

The Position: This position could sit hybrid in our NYC office or for the right candidate they could be fully remote in the US We're looking for a talented Staff Software Engineer to lead the technical direction of our public web experiences—the front door of our business. Millions of families start their senior care search on our site, most of them arriving through organic search (SEO) and paid search (SEM). Every millisecond of load time, every indexable page, and every well-run experiment directly shapes whether a family finds the help they need. This is a web-focused, full-stack role. You'll bring deep front-end and rendering expertise, plus solid working knowledge of the Next.js, data stores, and content systems behind the experience. You'll select the technologies, architectural patterns, and design approaches the team adopts, and provide technical leadership and mentorship to the engineers who build and maintain our web platform. The ideal candidate is a hands-on technical leader who understands how a page reaches a user—how it's rendered, cached, crawled, and measured—and can explain the trade-offs for SEO, performance, and cost in plain terms. You treat experimentation, analytics, and AI as core parts of engineering, and you lift up the engineers around you. This position reports to the Senior Manager of Engineering – Web. You'll partner closely with product, design, marketing, and SEO stakeholders, and collaborate with peer engineering teams across the company.
