Software Engineer (Mid-Level)

Summary

AxisCare is a fast-growing company dedicated to improving home care services through innovative software solutions. They are seeking a mid-level Software Engineer to join a team focused on building high-quality software that addresses the needs of home care agencies, utilizing AI and modern web technologies.

Responsibilities

• Use AI as a core part of how you build. Not as a novelty or a copilot for autocomplete, but as a primary tool for prototyping, exploring, refactoring, writing tests, and shipping
• Push the tools until they fail, then tell us about it. We're actively mapping the frontier. An engineer who tries something ambitious with AI, hits a wall, and writes up what they learned is more valuable to us than one who sticks to what's comfortable
• Care about the problem, not just the code. Since writing code is no longer the scarce resource, understanding what we should build and why it matters to home care agencies matters more than ever. The engineers who thrive here get curious about customers and operations, not just tickets
• Ship quality software that's easy to change. High-quality software is valuable now and easy to change later. Moving fast with AI only works if the work holds up
• Manage your time to ship on time. Make meaningful progress on what matters and avoid getting lost in unimportant details. This is more important than ever when AI makes it easy to chase rabbit holes
• Share what you're learning. This is a team sport, and the team only gets better if wins and lessons travel
• Write well. Good writing matters here. Remote work demands it, clear writing is clear thinking, and clear thinking is how you get the biggest impact from AI

Skills

• At least 2 years of professional experience on teams building web apps with the full PHP stack, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
• Experience building React apps in TypeScript
• Working knowledge of object-oriented programming and relational databases (MySQL or similar)
• Comfort with Git and collaborative development
• Demonstrated, substantive use of AI coding tools in real projects. We don't need you to have mastered every agent on the market, but we do need concrete examples of what you've built with them, how your workflow has evolved, and a point of view on where they help and where they don't. 'I use Copilot for autocomplete' isn't what we mean
• A mindset of software development as a team sport, preferring team success over personal achievement
• A humble, always-a-student attitude. The ground is moving under all of us. The people who do best here assume they have a lot to learn and act on it
• Based in the US (Eastern, Central, or Mountain time zones) and authorized to work in the US or Canada
• A habit of pushing AI tools past their comfort zone and thoughtful opinions about what you've seen. Agent-driven development, non-trivial refactors, prototyping throwaway versions to learn, etc
• Experience building for cloud-native environments
• Familiarity with HIPAA-compliant software
• Experience designing RESTful APIs and integrating third-party APIs
• A blog, a GitHub with substantive projects, recorded talks, discussions about tough product development decisions you've had to make, or anything else that shows how you think about building software in this moment
