About Care.com 

Care.com is a consumer tech company with heart. We’re on a mission to solve a human challenge we all face: finding great care for the ones we love. We’re moms and dads and pet parents. We have parents and grandparents so we understand that everyone, at some point in their lives, could use a helping hand. Our culture and our products reflect that.

Care.com offers an array of services that enable families to find, manage and pay for care and provide employment opportunities for caregivers.  Our engineering organization is reimagining our tech stacks and consolidating them to a single cloud-native platform and a cloud-based data lake/data warehouse. The new platform is composed of gRPC microservices and Lambdas in Go, Kafka streams, DynamoDB, Elasticsearch, GraphQL, and micro-frontends on Node and React. The new data lake/data warehouse is on Snowflake. We're utilizing industry best practices and tools like OpenTelemetry, Splunk, Github, SignalFx, Figma, and others to make our lives easier.

Here, entrepreneurs, self-starters, team players, and big thinkers unite behind a common cause. Here, we’re applying data analytics, AI and the latest technologies to solve universal problems and connect people in new ways. If you like having autonomy, if you thrive on collaboration and building new things, and if you’re all about using your talent for good, Care.com is the place for you.
