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. Since launching in mid-2023, we've scaled to thousands of families, crossed 7 figures in ARR, and are growing over 30% month-over-month. The senior living market is a $230B+ opportunity, and we're just getting started as the baby boomer generation continues to age into care. 💰 We're backed by the best. We recently closed our Series A with top-tier investors including TTV Ventures, Fika Ventures, Bling Capital, Liquid2 Ventures, Cambrian Ventures, and Max Ventures - firms that have collectively backed 20+ unicorns like Square, Lyft, and Rippling. We also have strategic backing from industry heavyweights LiveOak Bank and Omega Healthcare Investors, the largest Skilled Nursing-focused REIT. 🗽 Our team. We're a tight-knit, driven crew with hubs in NYC and Washington, DC - working on a problem that genuinely matters. About Sunbound Company. Sunbound is building the financial OS for senior care.
