Job Summary

You'll deliver new product capabilities across our platform, working across the full stack - from database models to UI components - and owning features end-to-end. AI is central to how you'll work: you'll use AI-assisted development tools daily to accelerate your output, build AI-powered product experiences for our customers, and help establish the practices that make our team effective in this new operating model.

Responsibilities

• Build and improve APIs, microservices, and frontend experiences that power government agencies at scale
• Own features end-to-end: collaborate with Product and Design to define the problem, build the solution, ship it, and monitor it in production
• Build AI-powered product features - from intelligent data analysis and agent-driven workflows to AI-assisted user experiences that transform how government teams work
• Use AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or similar) as a core part of your workflow to accelerate coding, debugging, and documentation
• Produce clean, well-documented code and conduct thorough reviews of both human-written and AI-generated code, with a sharp eye for the subtle failure modes each produces
• Collaborate across the organization to translate business priorities into shipped features that drive customer success

Requirements and Preferred Experience

• Have 13+ years of professional experience building scalable software in an agile environment
• Have strong experience with modern JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks (React or similar) and backend development
• Are comfortable working across the stack - frontend, backend, data layer - and shipping features end-to-end
• Have built heavily utilized enterprise SaaS software
• Actively use AI-assisted development tools and have a feel for when they accelerate you vs. when they lead you astray
• Have experience building AI-powered product features: agents, AI-driven UX, workflow automation, or retrieval systems (direct ML/model training experience not required)
• Have built APIs, designed database models (SQL and NoSQL), and worked with event-driven patterns
• Thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where new ideas ship daily, staying closely aligned to customer needs and outcomes
• Demonstrated experience working directly with customers to improve product experiences
• A track record of experimenting with new AI tools and bringing effective ones to your team
• Track record of driving team improvement through mentoring and process innovation
• Previous work in govtech, fintech, or regulated SaaS environments
