Abby Care: Powering the Future of Care at Home for All of America

Abby Care is building the leading AI-native platform for family-led care. America is facing a growing care crisis. Millions more people need care at home than ever. Over 50 million family caregivers support loved ones without the tools, training, or recognition they deserve. We believe families are the largest untapped caregiving workforce in America, and that technology can help them deliver better care while driving stronger outcomes and greater transparency across the healthcare system. Abby Care combines clinical oversight with an AI-powered platform to train, enable, and support family caregivers in delivering high-quality care at home. Our platform helps health plans and government partners better understand, verify, and improve care in the home. We expand access to care, reduce reliance on higher-cost settings, and help ensure public dollars are spent effectively. We are proud to partner with leading health plans, providers, and community organizations and are backed by top VCs. We envision a future where family-led care is a core part of the healthcare system. Abby Care is building that future. Join us in solving one of the most important challenges of our time.

The Role

We're looking for an experienced and driven individual to join us as a Software Engineer, Mobile (iOS & Android). You will report to the VP, Head of Engineering. This is a full-time opportunity based in San Francisco, CA (4 days in-person).

Abby Care is redefining family caregiving with AI-powered products and support. In this role, you'll lead our mobile app development across iOS and Android and ensure the experience is delightful, easy-to-use, and robust for family caregivers. Our users are often not tech-savvy and may use the app in homes, facilities, or on the gosometimes with spotty connectivity. You'll build for real-world conditions, define a testing framework that reflects those scenarios, and ship improvements that families can rely on every day.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead mobile app development end-to-end. You will take full ownership of the mobile development lifecycle, from concept to delivery. This includes shaping technical design, implementing core features, improving performance and stability, and managing release cycles for both iOS and Android.
• Build a caregiver-first experience that is intuitive and resilient. You will design and implement user flows that are simple, guided, and forgivingoptimized for non-technical users. You will ensure the app works reliably in low-connectivity environments through offline-first and degraded-mode patterns (e.g., caching, sync, retries, conflict handling) and careful performance tuning.
• Define and implement mobile testing frameworks grounded in real-world usage. You will establish a testing strategy and methodology that reflects how caregivers actually use the app (device variability, intermittent networks, backgrounding, interruptions, accessibility needs). This includes automated testing, regression coverage, monitoring/telemetry, and release quality gates to continuously improve app reliability.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to solve real-world problems. You will collaborate with operations, clinical, compliance, product, and design to build solutions that work in real caregiving workflows. You will be a critical voice in articulating technical tradeoffs and helping the team make product decisions that advance our mission.
• Raise the bar on mobile engineering excellence. You will set standards for code quality, architecture, observability, and security on mobile. You'll contribute to scalable patterns for feature development, data handling, and API integration, while keeping quality and user trust at the center.

The Requirements:

• 57 years of professional software engineering experience, with meaningful experience building and shipping mobile apps.
• Experience developing for iOS and/or Android in production (native or cross-platform with tools like React-Native), including release management and debugging issues in the wild.
• Strong understanding of mobile fundamentals: performance, reliability, lifecycle, background execution, local storage, and networking.
• Experience designing for real-world constraints such as intermittent connectivity, device variability, and accessibility needs.
• Experience defining and implementing testing strategy for mobile: automated tests, CI, regression frameworks, and quality gates.
• Experience integrating mobile apps with backend APIs and modern authentication patterns.
• A Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related field is preferred.
• Experience with product development is preferred.
• Experience in the healthcare industry and at startups is preferred.

Nice to Have

• Experience with React Native or React
• Experience with offline-first or sync-heavy applications (queueing, retries, conflict resolution).
• Familiarity with crash/performance monitoring and observability tools (e.g., Crashlytics, Sentry, Datadog).
• Experience with mobile CI/CD (e.g., Fastlane, GitHub Actions) and feature flagging/rollout strategies.

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation packages that reflect the value you bring. We reward our team for the impact of their work.
• Comprehensive health coverage that works for you. Choose from high-quality medical dental and vision options, including a $0 deductible PPO and a company-funded HSA, alongside employer-paid life and disability insurance.
• Generous paid time off . We provide policies that allow you to recharge along with 10 paid company holidays.
• Financial savings benefits to support your future. We support your financial well-being with HSA contributions, optional FSA and commuter benefits, and full coverage of all 401(k) account fees (employer match not currently offered).
• Paid parental leave to support your growing family. We provide paid leave, so you can focus on bonding and adjusting to life as your family grows.

Our Values

1. Families First Redefining healthcare starts with how we treat the parents and children we serve. We go above and beyond for every family, building strong, lasting relationships. We continually ask ourselves, "Would we want this for our own families?"
2. Urgency with Precision Millions of families are waiting for care, and they cannot wait, therefore this is not your typical 9 to 5 job. We match their urgency with our own, delivering exceptional care without compromise. Here, speed and excellence go hand in hand.
3. Relentlessly Resourceful As an ambitious startup, we adapt quickly and make the most of limited time and resources. We solve challenges with creativity to deliver results without unnecessary complexity.
4. Purpose with Positivity We take our mission seriously while never losing sight of the people behind the work. Respect, kindness, memes, and coffee make us stronger as a team and better for the families we serve.
5. Driven to Redefine What's Possible We are here to make healthcare better, which means asking hard questions, challenging outdated systems, and finding smarter, more compassionate ways to deliver care.

Automated Decision Tools

Abby Care may use automated decision tools to help match and rank candidate work experience, education and skills found in online profiles, resumes and job applications against job requirements.
