What You Will Work On

Examples of problems our engineers tackle:

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

Tech Stack

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

Your Role

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

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience building production software, with strong proficiency in backend (e.g., Java, Python, Ruby) technologies

Most importantly, we look for engineers who:

• Take ownership of problems
• Enjoy building real systems used by customers
• Care about writing clean, maintainable code
• Move quickly and iterate with users
