Job description

Our Frontend Developer opening rewards depth over breadth: pick TypeScript, go deep, and let Civic Innovation Lab handle the rest of the stack. Civic Innovation Lab frames it as a partnership — $54,000 - $78,000 for your 1 years, ownership of technology work, and growth shared both ways.

Key Responsibilities

• Set the Docker coding standards the rest of Civic Innovation Lab engineering follows
• Monitor system health and set up alerting for autonomy-driven production environments
• Ship Innovation experiments fast, kill the losers, and double down on what sticks
• Tune Agile queries until the LA database stops timing out under load
• Decide when to buy Persuasion versus build it for Civic Innovation Lab's New Orleans, LA stack
• Write clean, well-tested code that scales with Civic Innovation Lab's growing user base
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a strong code-review culture
• Replace the brittle Docker hack with a PostgreSQL solution that survives New Orleans scale

What You'll Bring

• Comfort owning a number that goes up or down because of you
• Comfort being measured against a clear junior bar
• Professionalism, integrity, and discretion with sensitive information
• A communicator who writes the meeting recap nobody asked for but everyone reads
• Critical thinking skills and sound, independent judgment
• Comfort with remote arrangements and the rhythms of a quality-focused workplace

Quietly, from New Orleans, Civic Innovation Lab has become the make-it-better technology partner that LA's most demanding teams refuse to replace. The Civic Innovation Lab promise is plain: clear expectations, real autonomy, and zero surprise reviews.

The package is honest: $54,000 - $78,000, a benefits plan that works, mentorship that lasts, and the flexibility to live in New Orleans, LA.

Updated on the spot, the Civic Innovation Lab hiring team is reviewing in real time.

Don't wait for the perfect moment to switch into technology work, because it's right now.
