Job Description
- Software Engineer (Mid-Level) Reports To
- Engineering Manager AxisCare is hiring a full-time, fully remote mid-level Software Engineer to join a team that's actively rethinking how software gets made. The engineers who are just coders — the ones whose value came from being the person who could translate a spec into working code — are the ones AI is going to eat up first. You want to get ahead of this by going deep on the things that still matter: system architecture, software design, and a real understanding of the problems you're solving. We're no longer building the car by hand, so to speak. We're building the factory that makes great cars, with humans in the loop where the human touch matters most. We want engineers who are genuinely energized by that shift and want to help figure out what it means in practice. ( Read more about how we think AI is changing product development. ) You'll join an autonomous project team working on our market-leading home care SaaS, built on a PHP web stack with a React/TypeScript frontend. You'll ship real features for real agencies whose operations depend on our software. There will always be a need for people who deeply understand our customers' most important problems, solve them with high-quality software, and run that software reliably in production. Just a handful of humble, talented, and conscientious builders who play well with others and work as a team to ship great things. You'll be building well-scoped features with oversight and mentorship from senior and staff engineers who are deep in this work. But a mid-level engineer is something very different in 2026 than it was two years ago. Use AI as a core part of how you build. Not as a novelty or a copilot for autocomplete, but as a primary tool for prototyping, exploring, refactoring, writing tests, and shipping. An engineer who tries something ambitious with AI, hits a wall, and writes up what they learned is more valuable to us than one who sticks to what's comfortable. Since writing code is no longer the scarce resource, understanding what we should build and why it matters to home care agencies matters more than ever. The engineers who thrive here get curious about customers and operations, not just tickets. Ship quality software that's easy to change. High-quality software is valuable now and easy to change later. Moving fast with AI only works if the work holds up. Manage your time to ship on time. This is more important than ever when AI makes it easy to chase rabbit holes. This is a team sport, and the team only gets better if wins and lessons travel. Good writing matters here. Remote work demands it, clear writing is clear thinking, and clear thinking is how you get the biggest impact from AI. At least 2 years of professional experience on teams building web apps with the full PHP stack, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript Experience building React apps in TypeScript Working knowledge of object-oriented programming and relational databases (MySQL or similar) Demonstrated, substantive use of AI coding tools in real projects. We don't need you to have mastered every agent on the market, but we do need concrete examples of what you've built with them, how your workflow has evolved, and a point of view on where they help and where they don't. "A mindset of software development as a team sport, preferring team success over personal achievement A humble, always-a-student attitude. A habit of pushing AI tools past their comfort zone and thoughtful opinions about what you've seen. Experience building for cloud-native environments Familiarity with HIPAA-compliant software A blog, a GitHub with substantive projects, recorded talks, discussions about tough product development decisions you've had to make, or anything else that shows how you think about building software in this moment Manual dexterity required to use desktop computer and peripherals Compensation and Equipment Medical insurance is covered in full for the employee (Medical, Dental and Vision) Company will provide laptop and other needed computer equipment Apply with a brief resume and either a written or video cover letter. We review the cover letter before anything else in your application, so this really matters. This is your single biggest opportunity to improve your chances, and video submissions go right to the front of the line. Prompt: Tell us about something you've built recently where AI was a meaningful part of how you built it. Use AI if you want, but don't send slop. Video: 1–2 minutes, linked in the "Website, Blog, or Portfolio" section of your application. We’re eager to support you so that you can ship work you’re proud of. According to Pew Research, roughly 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 every day, and the American Society on Aging calculated that an American has a 70% chance of needing help with activities of daily living such as dress
