Most still run on paper maps, spreadsheets, and institutional memory. We are replacing this with an ecosystem for everyone who touches a cemetery: the leadership running it, the field teams maintaining it, the families visiting it, and the local partners serving them. </p> <p>We’re backed by leading investors and guided by a team of experienced founders and engineers from well known tech names reimagining a category long overdue change. We’re deliberately lean, and will keep it that way.</p> </div> <h3>Job Description</h3> <div> <p>This is a remote position.</p> <h1><span class="highlight"><span class="colour"><span class="font"><span class="size">Founding Engineer - Memora</span></span></span></span></h1> <p><span class="highlight"><span class="colour"><span class="font"><span class="size">We're hiring a Founding Engineer to step into one of the broadest roles on the team: A hands-on IC role with real product and cultural ownership.</span></span></span></span></p> <h2><span class="highlight"><span class="colour"><span class="font"><span class="size">The Why</span></span></span></span></h2> <p><span class="highlight"><span class="colour"><span class="font"><span class="size">Memora is growing rapidly.
