Experience: 5+ years
- 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
