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 https://www.gogograndparent.com/whyworkatgogoengineering - Meaningful work: Build technology that helps older adults and people with disabilities live more independently. - Real-world impact: Your work directly affects customers’ daily lives, from arranging transportation to accessing meals, groceries, and other essential services. - Interesting technical challenges: Solve complex problems involving real-time communications, AI voice agents, third-party integrations, payments, logistics, and high-volume systems. - Strong ownership: Engineers are trusted to influence solutions from initial design through deployment and production monitoring. - Visible contribution: GoGo has a relatively small engineering team, so individual contributions have a meaningful impact on the product and company. - 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. - Continuous improvement: The company invests in better testing, observability, infrastructure, security, compliance, and engineering processes. - Experienced teammates: Work alongside senior engineers who can provide thoughtful code reviews, technical discussions, and mentorship. Sprint performance-based bonus pay: The team can earn significant additional bonus compensation when sprint goals are met - Yearly engineering retreats: The engineering team meets in person each year to strengthen relationships, collaborate, plan, and spend time together outside the usual remote environment. - Learning budget: Receive reimbursement for any courses (Udemy, Pluralsight, etc), books, or other resources related to engineering or your work at GoGo If you're passionate about improving the lives of older adults and people with disabilities, we would love for you to apply!

Show HN: We built open OpenRouter that turns usage into a better model

Hi HN, we built an open source model gateway. It's a single place to manage our own self hosted, frontier, and open source models in one place.

It’s is rust native, built for concurrency, and implements all the config quirks across models and providers (streaming formats, tool calls, model parameters, rate limits, and different error behavior).

The gateway adds under 1 ms for BYOK requests and under 2 ms when Experiential supplies the provider key. It has every major inference provider, and 1000+ models refreshed daily via a codex agent that opens a PR.

Compared to other similar projects we’re open source, take no markup, allow you to mix local models with a marketplace, and use your traffic to (opt in) train you a model. Simple routing doesn’t warrant a 10% token markup.

The way we do this is given standardized OTel traces, we mine representative real tasks, use text world models to simulate rollouts for various models, apply an LLM judge, and fit a nearest neighbor classifier on top of an embedding of a prompt to decide the optimal model for each request. Usually this can map out a better pareto curve on cost/quality than just calling single models but it’s not perfect.

Using these simulations we can also do things like suggesting cache hit optimizations, new model suggestions, and training models.

It’s open source, so you can deploy it on your own infrastructure, use our hosted version with 0 markup, or read how we design for maximum availability on our website. [SilenN]
