About Care.com
Care.com is a consumer tech company with heart. We’re on a mission to solve a human challenge we all face: finding great care for the ones we love. We’re moms and dads and pet parents. We have parents and grandparents, so we understand that everyone, at some point in their lives, could use a helping hand. Our culture and our products reflect that.
Care.com offers an array of services that enable families to find, manage, and pay for care while also providing employment opportunities for caregivers. Our engineering organization is reimagining our tech stack and consolidating to a single cloud-native platform so we can test and learn faster. The new platform is composed of gRPC microservices and Lambdas in Go, Kafka streams, DynamoDB, Elasticsearch, GraphQL, and micro-frontends built with Node and React. We’re utilizing industry best practices and tools like OpenTelemetry, Splunk, GitHub, SignalFx, Figma, and more to enable high-quality, scalable development.
Here, entrepreneurs, self-starters, team players, and big thinkers unite behind a common cause. Here, we’re applying data analytics, AI, and the latest technologies to solve universal problems and connect people in new ways. If you value autonomy, thrive on collaboration, enjoy building new things, and want to use your talent for good, Care.com is the place for you.
