Senior Software Engineer, Product

- 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

- 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

- You've built something real: 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

- 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
