Senior Software Engineer, Product

What You'll Do

• Architect and ship full-stack features end-to-end — from scoping and technical design through build, iteration, and production
• Lead the development of AI-powered product surfaces: intelligent intake flows, real-time constituent assistants, automated case routing, agency operator dashboards
• Set technical direction and raise the bar on code quality — your decisions become the patterns the rest of the team builds on
• Engage directly with federal agency stakeholders to translate messy real-world requirements into clean, shippable product
• Own platform reliability and performance at government scale — real SLAs, real users, no abstraction layer between you and accountability
• Mentor earlier-career engineers through code review, pairing, and direct technical feedback

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years of professional engineering experience, with a track record of owning complex features and systems — not just executing on them
• Deep fluency in React / Next.js and Node.js / TypeScript / Postgres — fast, not just functional
• AI coding tools (Cursor, Copilot, Claude) are already baked into how you work — you've shipped with them, and you move measurably faster because of it
• Something real you've built — a product, an open source project, a system you designed and stood behind
• Proven ability to operate in ambiguity: you define the problem as often as you solve it, and you don't stall waiting for the answer to come to you
• A genuine orientation toward the end user — the person on the other side of the screen isn't an abstraction to you

Strong Candidates May Also...

• Have touched federal, state, or local government tech — or have built in other regulated, high-stakes environments where the constraints were real
• Have cloud deployment depth: AWS, Vercel, GitHub Actions, ECS/Fargate
• Have experience with design systems and component libraries — and a clear opinion on when a component is right vs. just functional
• Have led technical work in an early-stage environment where the job was figuring it out, not following a playbook
