Examples of problems our engineers tackle:

• Replacing spreadsheet workflows used across thousands of jurisdictions
• Extracting structured data from unstructured government documents
• Designing scalable APIs and backend systems that power critical government workflows
• Building product experiences that simplify complex regulatory processes
• Improving the performance, reliability, and scalability of systems used daily by government teams

Tech Stack

Backend: TypeScript, Java, PostgreSQL, Node.js
Frontend: React, TypeScript
Infrastructure: AWS, Docker, Terraform
Developer Tools: GitHub, Linear, Claude Code, Cursor, CI/CD, automated testing

We understand engineers may not be experts in every technology on day one. We hire for learning velocity, curiosity, and strong engineering fundamentals.

Your Role

• Own systems end-to-end: Design and build scalable backend systems powering core product workflows using TypeScript, Java, PostgreSQL, AWS, Docker, and Terraform.
• Build product-facing features: Develop intuitive front-end experiences using React and TypeScript that simplify complex government workflows.
• Shape architecture and technical direction: Contribute to architectural decisions across services, infrastructure, and data models as we scale.
• Ship product end-to-end: Work directly with teammates and customers to design and deliver impactful features.
• Improve performance and reliability: Identify bottlenecks, reduce technical debt, and continuously improve system scalability and maintainability.
• Raise the engineering bar: Write clean, well-tested code and contribute to a strong engineering culture built around ownership and accountability.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience building production software
• Strong backend engineering experience with languages such as TypeScript, Java, or Ruby
• 5+ years working with relational databases such as PostgreSQL
• Comfort working across the stack, with experience in at least one modern frontend framework, preferably React
• Strong foundations in API design, data modeling, object-oriented programming, and infrastructure design
• Experience with cloud infrastructure such as AWS
• Comfort with Docker, CI/CD pipelines, version control systems, and automated testing frameworks
• Experience shipping customer-facing software in ambiguous, high-ownership environments

Most importantly, we look for engineers who:

• Take ownership of problems and drive them to completion
• Are self-motivated, resourceful, and eager to make an impact
• Thrive in fast-paced environments with high autonomy and accountability
• Enjoy building real systems used by customers every day
• Care deeply about writing clean, maintainable code
• Move quickly while protecting reliability where it matters
• Use AI tools thoughtfully and never blindly
• Communicate directly and make pragmatic tradeoffs
