Job description

About FSH

FSH Tech builds modern software that just works for the public sector. When we deliver, taxpayer dollars go further, agencies move faster, and millions of Americans get tangibly better service and quality of life.

Local governments, schools, libraries, and emergency services run on brittle software that was built decades ago. This results in wasted budgets, broken workflows, and bad outcomes for the public. We believe that the institutions closest to people's daily lives deserve products as good as anything in the private sector. We're building them.

We're a small, high-agency team. The people who do their best work here are:

• Relentlessly optimistic in creating a better world now
• Driven to maximize societal impact
• Brilliant and creative

About FSH Engineering

Our ideal candidate is an expert in their craft. They gain energy from understanding how their chosen tools work, and have used their tools to build software many times. Our ideal candidate is obsessively curious, motivated by customer outcomes, and is a technical artist.

We use Python, Postgres, Unix, TypeScript and React to build software. We maintain a set of internal tools to deterministically generate Python and Typescript. We obsess over how to build compounding advantages in tooling, software, and product.

About the Role

Modern technologists often avoid selling to the government, schools, and non profits due to complex and unpredictable procurement processes. The FSH approach to mitigating many of these risks is heavily dependent on modern technology (including the use of generative AI).

This team owns the architecture, implementation, and iteration of a set of internal tools that are responsible for sourcing and responding to RFPs. This work will oscillate between rapid experimentation, platform construction, and collaboration with non-technical stakeholders.

What You'll Do

• Build and maintain internal GTM tools
• Enable technical operators ability to meaningfully alter their tools
• Iterate quickly
• Define engineering culture

What You'll Need

• Experience shipping software to users
• Experience building AI powered tools or products
• [preferred] Experience working at a venture backed company
• [preferred] Demonstrated enthusiasm for civic engagement

You’re the right person for the job if:

• You believe programming is a creative pursuit
• You are a perennial tinkerer
• You believe abstractions can simplify complexity
• You are obsessed with focused and data driven learning
• You love pattern seeking
  • Modern inventory management is best handled through Venetian double entry accounting
  • Buddhist meditation and dialectical behavior therapy are closely related
  • The distribution of crater sizes on the moon follow a power law
  • Rivers and their tributaries, blood vessels, lunch bronchi, broccoli, and lightning bolts all demonstrate related patterns

Employees are expected to live in New York City or Philadelphia and work out of our office in either location.
