This… and make it decentralized so that it’s true public SMS/alert and not reliant on crappy gov infrastructure


Carina | Full-Time | Seattle | recruiting@carina.org

Carina is a two sided marketplace for home and child care; matching consumers with care workers. We started in WA; now in MA, CT, IL, CA and headed into new states next year. We recently crossed 1 million hours worked on our platform. As a nonprofit we’re making a difference in workers and consumers lives; while saving money for public funds [compared to the cost of hospital stays and nursing homes].

We’re hiring two full stack engineers [React, Kotlin, PostgreSQL; AWS Cloud]. We’re based in downtown Seattle; for now everyone is remote but plan is to head back to the office late 2021 [obv depends on many factors].

US citizens only. Great benefits package including pension and full healthcare coverage.

I’m the product owner; can zoom for any questions.


Is there any reason your company doesn't hire permanent residents?


There an app for this; like Goater?


I think Californias would go for this. A lawn service that just brings goats to your house once a week.


There are already services renting goats: https://rentagoat.com


There's no immediate [5yr horizon] automation coming to solve this. Human home care workers will be needed [and more of them]; it's in a category of jobs that not even machines want.


But there will be plenty of people free to care for the elderly after the machines take their jobs.


It is good that we give the elderly care to people that has lost their work?


Which is what we do at one of my startups... our monthly AWS bill is $5.

"I think this becomes easier as tooling becomes easier as well for developers and for users." Agree, this is what we're working on.


The healthcare industry is a POS. If blockchain can make it even 1% better then it will be worth all the hype and gripe.


Frightening to think of how FB will manage a chip platform given their reckless behavior with our data. I hope it never leaves the whiteboard.


You do realize that FB has been designing their own servers for years, right? Also, what does personal data privacy have to do with silicon design? I know that FB privacy rules are a hot topic right now but how does that have anything to do with this article?


The Facebook of Things, delightful.
