Founding Software Engineer - Harvard AI Dementia/Caregiving Startup

About Us
At Beaver Health, we’re building technology to tackle the global aging and caregiving crisis. As the population ages, the number of people living with conditions like dementia is rapidly increasing, placing significant burdens on family caregivers. Our platform, backed by Harvard Innovation Labs, the National Institutes of Health, and winner of the 2024 Harvard President’s Innovation Challenge, is focused on improving the quality of life for aging adults while reducing the stress on caregivers.

We’re developing AI-powered tools that provide cognitive support and expert caregiving advice to help families manage the complexities of caring for loved ones with dementia and other chronic conditions. We are a small, dedicated team passionate about making a real difference, and we’re looking for a founding engineer who shares our vision.
