CareMates - AI-supported patient admissions in the care sector

More time for care – less for paperwork and bureaucracy. With this mission, the founders of CareMates launched their journey at the end of 2023 in collaboration with Caritas in Munich, Germany, to digitalize one of the country's most essential pillars. In an aging society, the care sector is continuously growing while simultaneously struggling with severe staff shortages and high regulatory hurdles.

CareMates is the AI-powered CRM system for the social sector, streamlining inquiry and admission management for new residents and patients in care. Among the first customers are not only nonprofit organizations such as Caritas, Diakonie, and AWO but also private care providers.

In your role as a Software Engineer (working student / Werkstudent), you are a crucial part of our 5-people engineering team. You closely collaborate with our two founders and Co-CTOs, Pablo and Johannes, and contribute to CareMates providing even more value for our clients.
