GoGoGrandparent (YC S16) is hiring back end engineers 0

ycombinator.com
Backend Engineer at GoGoGrandparent | Y Combinator
About the Company
GoGoGrandparent’s (GoGo’s) mission is to help older adults live independently in their home for as long as possible. We do that by tailoring existing on demand apps to the needs of people living with mobility, visual, cognitive and dexterity impairments and letting older adults use them by making a phone call. After ordering, our service becomes a virtual caregiver that monitors the instrumental activities of daily living (mobility, meals, groceries, medication delivery & home management) for tens of thousands of older adults around the United States. We’re profitable, have been around since 2016 & haven’t raised any venture capital financing to date. The company was inspired by the cofounder’s grandmother, who still uses us to this day (she’s turning 95 in March)!
Our engineering team is fully remote, tight-knit, and moves fast. You’ll work closely with founders, ship meaningful features weekly, and have real ownership over architecture, reliability, and product direction.
This is a fully remote position
Job Summary
We are seeking a Senior Backend Engineer with strong expertise in Node.js / Typescript to design, build, and maintain scalable backend systems. This role is responsible for delivering high-quality features end-to-end, collaborating closely with product and project managers, and continuously improving the codebase through thoughtful refactoring.
The ideal candidate takes ownership of their work, writes clean and maintainable code, and contributes to system architecture decisions. They will work across the full development lifecycle—from planning and implementation to testing, deployment, and monitoring—while ensuring reliability and performance in production.
In addition to execution, this role involves improving engineering processes, reviewing code, mentoring other developers, and helping drive technical standards across the team.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and deliver backend features using Node.js / Typescript, ensuring high performance and scalability
- Collaborate with product and project managers to clarify requirements and translate them into technical solutions
- Own tasks end-to-end, from implementation through testing, deployment, and monitoring
- Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve bugs and production issues in a timely manner
- Continuously refactor and improve existing code to enhance maintainability, performance, and reliability
- Review pull requests, provide constructive feedback, and uphold code quality and engineering standards
- Write clean, well-documented, and testable code following best practices
- Participate in system design and architecture discussions, contributing to long-term technical decisions
- Monitor system performance and proactively address bottlenecks or reliability issues
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (frontend, QA, DevOps) to ensure smooth delivery of features
- Mentor other engineers and contribute to improving team processes and development workflows
Tech Stack
- Back-end heavy: Node.js, TypeScript, MySQL, REST + GraphQL
- Front-end: Vue.js (nice to have)
- Deployment: AWS, Docker/Kubernetes (nice to have)
Skills & Qualifications
- 6+ years of professional experience (primarily in Node.js and Vue.js)
- Able to work US timezone or 4+ hours overlap with mainland US
- Able to take ownership and initiative on features / problems
Benefits
- Fully remote position
- $80k – $180k (based on location, experience and seniority)
- Significant quarterly bonus tied to meeting sprint goals
- Paid holidays
- Personal Time-off of 15 days at start
- Engineering team retreat
- US Employees
- Healthcare Insurance (Medical, Dental, Vision)
- 401k Plan
Why work at GoGo

- Modern technology: Work with Node.js, TypeScript, Vue, MySQL, AWS, Kubernetes, AI and other modern tools.
- AI product development: Gain hands-on experience building production AI systems, including conversational phone agents, speech recognition, and automated customer support.
- Build across multiple domains: Engineers have opportunities to work across different products, services, and technical challenges rather than being confined to a single feature area.
- Direct collaboration: Work closely with product, operations, customer support, and company leadership rather than being separated by layers of management.
- Technical influence: Engineers can help shape architecture, development processes, reliability practices, and engineering standards.
- Remote-first environment: Work with an international team while maintaining meaningful collaboration and ownership.
- Growing Startup: GoGo is profitable, generates significant revenue, and continues to expand its products and customer base.

M5Stack Launches PaperMono: A Compact E-Ink Development Terminal for Connected Projects
M5Stack today launches PaperMono, a compact ESP32-S3-based E-Ink development terminal designed for low-power information display, interaction, and connected IoT projects. PaperMono is now available through the M5Stack Store. Â
Product Value
Featuring a 3.97-inch 4-level grayscale E-Ink display, touch input, integrated frontlight, NFC, LoRa, microSD storage, RTC, and a built-in 1150mAh battery, PaperMono brings display, interaction, power, and connectivity into one integrated device.
Â
Key Features
Display and Interact
The 3.97-inch 4-level grayscale E-Ink display provides a low-power viewing experience with the look and feel of paper. Touch input enables interactive interfaces, while the integrated frontlight supports comfortable use in low-light environments.Â
PaperMono also supports the CrossPoint Reader firmware, bringing an open and flexible reading experience to this compact E-Ink device.Â
Connect and Respond
Built-in NFC and LoRa support connected projects such as digital badges, identity displays, remote messages, sensor status screens, and other low-power IoT applications.Â
Build and Extend
Powered by the ESP32-S3R8 and supported by microSD storage, RTC, IMU, Wi-Fi, and a 1150mAh battery, PaperMono provides an integrated foundation for building and experimenting with E-Ink projects.Â
Â
Version ComparisonÂ
PaperMono is also available in a Lite configuration for makers who want the core E-Ink development experience without NFC or LoRa connectivity. Both versions share the same 3.97-inch touch display, integrated frontlight, and ESP32-S3R8 platform.
PaperMono is designed for connected projects that require near-field identification or long-range, low-power communication. PaperMono-Lite is a focused option for E-Ink development without those connectivity features.
