With our clinical experts and coaches, community-based platform, and whole-person healthcare recommendations, we focus on educating our patients and equipping them with the knowledge to make clinician-guided decisions about their menopause health. We help women realize tangible symptom relief and overall improvements in their health outcomes so that they can devote more time and energy to who and what they love.

Upliv is the first sister company out of Caire, a virtual care platform company that will support and scale a portfolio of virtual healthcare companies and brands that address unmet patient, provider, and payer needs, creating a shared operating system and infrastructure layer across every core function, from technology product to provider recruiting. As the first sister company, Upliv will create the model for how the Caire infrastructure will support and interface with the portfolio of sister companies.

About the Role

Upliv Health is seeking a passionate and energetic full-time Founding Engineer who will lead the creation of Upliv’s virtual care technology platform. As the first sister company within Caire’s platform, Upliv will be the trailblazer in defining the technology platform needs for the broader Caire infrastructure. Accordingly, we are looking for someone who can both lead the creation of Upliv’s technology platform while also being able to rapidly incorporate learnings and collaborate with Caire’s technology leadership to set the vision for Caire. As the Founding Engineer, you will have full ownership over Upliv’s technology strategy as well as play a pivotal role in shaping the vision, design, and structure of the Caire technology platform.

The Upliv platform will launch in October with its first cohort of patients. Upliv is currently working with a software development shop to create the MVP version of our platform for launch. As Upliv’s Founding Engineer, your first task will be to work with the outsourced development team to understand the technology as designed and help ensure the right support for the platform through MVP launch whether through internal hiring, leaning on this outsourced team, or a combination of both. Following the launch, you will be responsible for helping to build out Upliv’s technology team and support the buildout of additional features for the Upliv product offering.

We envision the Founding Engineer will collaborate very closely with Caire technology leadership, sharing learnings from Upliv’s product build and contributing to the design and vision of Caire’s platform. You will work closely with Caire’s technology leadership to ensure that Caire’s platform will support all of Upliv’s product needs. Eventually, when the Caire platform is ready for Upliv, we envision that you will plan for and lead the swapover from Upliv’s independent platform to Caire’s platform infrastructure.

Our ideal candidate is a flexible team player who is equally as comfortable getting into the code and building software as they attract and leading a small but mighty team of engineers. They are comfortable working in a number of different team iterations as the organization grows and can handle the ambiguity of supporting the MVP platform needs now while simultaneously shaping the vision of the platform we need in the future.
