Founding Software Engineer at Sage Care

About Sage Care

Home care agencies run on relationships — but they’re drowning in paperwork. Intake coordinators spend hours manually transcribing calls, building care plans, and chasing follow-ups. That overhead slows agencies down and pulls their attention away from the people they’re trying to serve.

Sage is building the operating system for home care agencies — an AI-native CRM and virtual assistant that turns every client call and home visit into structured care plans, follow-up tasks, and system records, automatically.

We integrate directly with the tools agencies already use (WellSky, AxisCare), work on iOS and desktop, and save agencies over 100 minutes per client intake.

We’re early, well-funded, and signing agencies fast. Now we’re looking for the engineers who’ll help us build what comes next.
