Company Overview

A growing technology company is modernizing outdated and manual local government workflows through modern software used by hundreds of government agencies across the United States. Its AI-powered platform uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) to automate manual data entry, helping reduce delays, backlogs, and errors while supporting the efficient delivery of public services, infrastructure, and education.

What You Will Work On

  • Design and implement end-to-end features spanning user interfaces and scalable backend services.
  • Improve the performance, scalability, and responsiveness of core applications across the full technology stack.
  • Collaborate directly with customers to translate business and user needs into effective technical solutions.
  • Build reliable data pipelines and integrations supporting product functionality.
  • Design systems that enable AI-driven automation capabilities.
  • Scale the engineering organization while maintaining a high level of technical talent and engineering excellence.
  • Lead development efforts across frontend, backend, infrastructure, and platform systems.

Technology Stack

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

Engineers are not expected to be experts in every technology from day one. The organization values a strong growth mindset, willingness to learn, and the ability to develop expertise as technical requirements evolve.

Team Leadership & Mentorship

  • Lead and manage a team of Software Engineers.
  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to strengthen design, coding, and problem-solving capabilities.
  • Manage team health, establish goals, conduct performance reviews, and support individual career development.
  • Foster a culture of ownership, collaboration, continuous improvement, and technical excellence.

Strategic Execution & Delivery

  • Partner with functional teams to define and execute roadmaps that deliver measurable business and customer outcomes.
  • Contribute hands-on code for up to 20% of weekly time based on team and project needs.
  • Drive continuous improvements across engineering processes, developer experience, and delivery pipelines.
  • Collaborate with leadership, Customer Success, and Operations to align technical initiatives with broader organizational objectives.

Architectural Guidance & Standards

  • Guide critical architectural decisions focused on scalability, performance, reliability, and maintainability.
  • Establish and maintain high standards for code quality, testing, documentation, and engineering excellence.
  • Contribute to technical designs and write or review code, particularly for complex or high-impact projects.
  • Help establish a strong and scalable technical foundation for the organization’s core products and infrastructure.

What We’re Looking For

  • 4+ years of hands-on software engineering experience with strong proficiency across backend technologies such as Java or Python and frontend technologies such as React.
  • 2+ years of engineering leadership experience, including managing an engineering team or leading multi-quarter technical initiatives.
  • Proven ability to deliver high-quality, user-facing product features across the full technology stack.
  • Experience with cloud platforms, CI/CD pipelines, observability, monitoring, and system reliability engineering (SRE) practices.
  • Demonstrated ability to balance people leadership with meaningful technical contributions.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to effectively bridge technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Strong sense of ownership, bias toward action, and commitment to leading by example.
  • Passion for mentoring engineers and helping teams develop strong technical and problem-solving capabilities.
