Sage is looking to solve the problem of archaic and ineffective fall prevention and emergency response systems for older adults in senior living facilities by building a modern AI-powered care intelligence platform.
Requirements
- 3+ years of professional backend development experience
- Strong proficiency in Kotlin, Java, or similar JVM languages
- Experience building and maintaining distributed systems and RESTful APIs
- Demonstrated ability to debug complex production issues and optimize system performance
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS or GCP) and containerized deployments
- Experience with video processing, streaming protocols (RTSP/RTMP), or FFmpeg
- Hands-on experience with prompt engineering, multi-modal foundational models, and LLM/VLM optimization techniques
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and optimize real-time video processing pipelines that handle hundreds of concurrent streams, implementing fault tolerance and auto-recovery mechanisms
- Debug and resolve complex distributed systems challenges including VPN connectivity, memory optimization, concurrency issues, and stream processing failures across multiple facilities
- Improve system scalability and stability by architecting service separations, implementing proper monitoring and alerting, and ensuring 99.9% uptime
- Experiment with AI model integration, including prompt engineering for multi-modal models and implementing cost-optimization strategies like intelligent gating and caching
- Develop features and tools that surface actionable insights about resident activities, helping caregivers provide more timely and effective care
- Architect privacy-preserving video storage and replay systems, including de-identification pipelines for building long-term datasets
- Work cross-functionally with product and engineering teams to expand the platform's capabilities from acute event detection to long-term health insights
