What You’ll Do

Build Savoy Life’s Technology Platform fromthe Ground Up

Partner directly with our CEO and COO to design, architect, and build the technical foundation that powers Savoy Life’s caregiving‑first model. You will own the creation of our data infrastructure, intelligence layer, and early products that unify caregiving and clinical data—enabling risk stratification, clinical decision support, and scalable continuous care. Your work will transform today’s human‑intensive process into a proprietary, tech‑enabled platform that can serve seniors everywhere, not just in senior living facilities.

Lead AI/ML‑Driven Capabilities

  • Implement and own the technical strategy for AI‑enabled clinical signals, early‑risk detection, sentiment analysis, and proactive care workflows.
  • Leverage LLMs to power both conversational, virtual rounding, and structured clinical summaries.
  • Use AI‑native tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude, GitHub tools, agents) to accelerate prototyping and development velocity.

Develop Healthcare‑Grade Data Integration Pipelines

  • Create our data infrastructure, automated AI/BI driven insights, and BI querying
  • Build and scale ETL pipelines that ingest data from QHIN data, HIEs, internal Savoy tools and potentially beyond.
  • Ensure data integrity and traceability across a wide variety of structured and unstructured inputs.

Own Security, Compliance & Reliability

  • Build Savoy’s platform with HIPAA compliance and senior‑care regulatory needs from day one.
  • Implement secure data storage, encryption, auditing, access control, and monitoring frameworks.
  • Establish and enforce best practices for uptime, reliability, and operational readiness.

Create and Scale the Engineering Organization

  • After building the first versions of our product, you’ll recruit, mentor, and develop engineers as the organization scales.
  • Establish engineering culture, SDLC practices, architectural standards, and performance expectations.

Who You Are

A Founder‑Level Technologist

  • 10+ years of engineering experience with a strong track record of building and shipping complex, high‑impact products.
  • Experience designing and scaling backend systems, cloud infrastructure, APIs, and data platforms.
  • Comfortable owning technical architecture end‑to‑end in a fast‑moving startup setting.

Deep Backend & Infrastructure Expertise

  • Expertise in database design, distributed systems, and event‑driven architectures.
  • Hands‑on experience deploying secure, scalable systems on AWS/Azure/GCP.

Healthcare Data Fluency

  • Experience with clinical data structures (EHR, care notes, vitals, symptoms), healthcare integration standards (FHIR/HL7), or related domains.
  • Understanding of HIPAA, PHI handling, and the nuances of clinical workflows.

AI‑Forward Builder

  • Experience using LLMs to build production features (NLP, summarization, conversational AI, risk prediction, or agent frameworks).
  • Comfortable with prompt engineering, model selection, and grounding strategies.

Security & Compliance Mindset

  • Deep understanding of secure system design, encryption standards, access control models, auditability, and threat modeling.
  • Experience building systems for regulated industries is a strong plus.

Startup Operator

  • Thrives in ambiguity, moves with urgency, and brings an ownership mentality.
  • Excited to build v0 → v1 → scale while wearing multiple hats.
  • Motivated by delivering better healthcare outcomes for seniors and their families.

Bonus Points

  • Experience building care‑enablement, elder care, or digital health tools
  • Familiarity with clinical terminology, LOINC/SNOMED codes, or care workflows
  • Experience with ambient voice interfaces, IVR systems, or voice AI
  • Mobile experience (React Native, Flutter) for caregiver/patient‑facing apps
  • Previous founding engineer or technical co‑founder experience

Why This Role Matters

Savoy Life is redefining how healthcare is delivered in senior living communities by embedding clinical intelligence and proactive care where it’s needed most. You will be the architect and builder behind the systems powering that transformation — from the Age‑in‑Place app to autonomous virtual rounding — ultimately improving outcomes and reducing hospitalizations for seniors across the country.

We’re an Equal Opportunity Employer: You’ll receive consideration for employment without regard to race, sex, color, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, protected veteran status, or on the basis of disability.

View company profile

Savoy Life was born from a deep understanding of the challenges faced by seniors and adults with disabilities in residential long-term care. Founder Peter Emigh, having dedicated his career to serving underserved, ill, and vulnerable seniors, witnessed firsthand the systemic issues leading to critical gaps in care and, ultimately, sub-optimal health outcomes. He recognized that while most owners, operators, and caregivers in long-term care (LTC) are mission-driven and compassionate, they are increasingly burdened with caring for more frail and clinically complex residents than ever before. The existing healthcare system, Emigh observed, had not evolved to adequately meet the unique needs of these operators or their residents. This disconnect often resulted in poor resident outcomes and weaker business performance for the communities.

Driven by a mission to break down these barriers to healthcare, Emigh envisioned a new approach. Thus, Savoy Life emerged from stealth, a first-of-its-kind company, launched with $3 million in pre-seed funding from Red Cell Partners. The company was purpose-built to be a dependable healthcare partner for LTC communities, designed to address the root issues plaguing the industry. Savoy Life's innovative model integrates virtual clinical services, remote technology, and a comprehensive wrap-around care model, including geriatrics and geriatric psychiatry. This approach aims to make healthcare work better for residential long-term care communities, their residents, and their families by simplifying operations, caregiving, and compliance. The ultimate goal is to improve occupancy, length of stay, healthcare access, and the quality of life for every resident, enabling them to live the life that matters most to them. Savoy Life's services are specifically designed to empower community managers and caregivers, providing them with the tools and support to deliver high-quality, comprehensive, and personalized care, even in the hardest-to-reach assisted living communities.
