Job DescriptionAbout Sunbound 💡 We saw a problem no one was solving. Our founders watched their own families navigate the broken, stressful world of senior care payments and decided to fix it. Sunbound is building the financial OS for senior living: the first modern platform that manages the entire payments process end-to-end, saving operators time, reducing costs, and removing unnecessary stress for families. 💙 We deeply care about who we serve. Seniors are one of the most underserved populations in the country. Our mission is simple - make managing money for senior living easy, so our customers can focus on delivering quality housing and care. 🚀 We're growing fast… really fast.
