SeniorCRE is building the operator-controlled operating infrastructure for senior housing & care — clinical, resident, financial, workforce, compliance, and occupancy operations for multi-facility operators, built above the systems the industry already runs on. We're hiring our founding Head of Engineering: the top engineering seat, reporting directly to the CEO.
This is a player-coach role, and we mean that bluntly: the first year is majority hands-on — in the codebase and the AWS console — while you build the team around you. If you're looking for a purely managerial seat, this isn't it.
A modern TypeScript platform on AWS. A large monorepo — a Fastify and tRPC API with a React front end over PostgreSQL — spanning clinical, resident, financial, workforce, compliance, and occupancy operations for multi-facility senior housing operators.
Built for HIPAA from the ground up. Access control is enforced in two independent layers: application-level role and tenant gates as the primary, auditable control, with PostgreSQL row-level security beneath it as defense in depth. Multi-tenant isolation and per-facility scoping run through the entire system, and access to protected health information is audit-logged. Identity and authentication run through WorkOS (AuthKit) .
Infrastructure is fully defined in code. All AWS, provisioned with Pulumi , with separate staging and production environments: containerized services with blue/green deployments, managed PostgreSQL, encrypted and access-controlled storage for PHI, managed secrets, monitoring and alerting, and continuous vulnerability and compliance scanning wired directly into the deployment pipeline. The front end is hosted on Vercel.
Engineering here is AI-native. Planning and development are driven with AI coding agents as standard practice, following current best practices in how that work is specified, reviewed, and verified. Claude Code is the primary driver today. The tooling in this space is moving quickly, and shaping how this team operates with AI — the standards, the workflows, and the platform investments behind them — is part of this role, not something inherited fixed.
