We're growing rapidly and looking for talented people who share our passion for public protection.

The Role

We're looking for a Software Architect to help design and build the next generation of our government licensing platform.

Requirements

• 8+ years of software development experience with at least 3 years in an architecture role
• Strong experience with Java, TypeScript, React, Next.JS, Laravel and PostgreSQL
• Deep knowledge of cloud infrastructure (GCP preferred, AWS acceptable)
• Experience designing systems that scale to millions of users
• Understanding of security best practices and compliance requirements
• Excellent communication skills — able to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
• Self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, founder-led environment

Nice to Have

• Experience with government or regulatory technology
• Familiarity with AI/ML integration
• Experience with SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, or StateRAMP compliance

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and equity
• Direct collaboration with an experienced founder who understands technology
• Opportunity to shape the technical direction of a growing company
• Work that matters — helping regulatory agencies protect the public
• Flexible hybrid work environment
