Job description

Note: This role is exclusively available to U.S. citizens who can obtain and maintain a U.S. government‑issued Top Secret security clearance with full‑scope polygraph. There are no exceptions.

Who We Are:

Our mission at Hazel is simple and powerful. We use AI to help U.S. government purchasing teams buy at the speed of need with unparalleled efficiency and cost‑effectiveness. It is a $2.7T problem every single year, and Hazel is at the forefront with Federal and State, Local, and SLED agencies.

Hazel has identified a once‑in‑a‑lifetime opportunity to solve this by deploying cutting‑edge AI to the public sector and unlocking the full potential of our nation. We empower our partners to move with expediency against the most pressing challenges of this century. Hazel builds AI for the public interest.

What We Are Building:

Hazel is transforming government procurement: how government agencies purchase goods and services from commercial vendors. You’ll work directly with our federal partners in deploying our AI‑forward bid evaluations solution, helping them assess vendors more accurately, reliably, and quickly. With the federal government under increasing pressure to accelerate acquisitions, our tools give them a real edge.

Our full COTS platform supports the entire procurement lifecycle from need identification through award management, and our other partners include state & local governments, schools, and special authorities.

About the Role:

As a Hazel full stack engineer, you will be at the helm of architecting and building Hazel’s platform. You will work closely with Hazel’s customers to identify pain points to prioritize the most impactful features. You will build new features every week and be faced with many challenging technical problems. Most importantly, you join the tip of the spear in delivering effective and secure AI for the public sector.

This specific role is for deploying and scaling Hazel's cutting‑edge AI for our largest contract with one of the most important U.S. government agencies. You will bring it into production by owning the customization, security accreditation, and deployment of Hazel in a unique operational environment.

What You’ll Do Day‑to‑Day:

• Define, iterate, and execute on projects contributing to Hazel’s federal and commercial product roadmap
• Identify areas for process and technical improvements, and take the initiative to enhance engineering processes and structures in classified environments
• Collaborate with colleagues, customers, and partners to understand key tactical and strategic priorities and deliver innovative, impactful solutions
• Take ownership of projects, ensuring they meet rigorous standards of quality, performance, and security accreditation for a classified deployment
• Work onsite in Washington D.C. to deploy Hazel onto classified networks

What We’re Looking For:

• Proven experience as a full stack engineer or similar role
• Proven experience with the technologies in our Tech Stack, which includes:
  • Designing and implementing AWS cloud infrastructure
  • Python
  • Typescript
  • React/Next.js
  • PostgreSQL
  • CI/CD tools (e.g., GitHub, CodePipeline)
  • IaC (CDK/Terraform)
  • Familiarity with Auth N/Auth Z/SAML/SSO/IdP
  • Docker
• Adeptness with using AI Coding Tools (e.g. Cursor/Claude Code)
• Willingness to spend 25% of time onsite with customers (all travel is covered)
• Excitement about bringing innovation to the public sector
• Continuous drive towards learning and personal development
• TS/SCI with FSP
  • We will sponsor new clearances

Nice to Have Experience:

• Has worked at a startup or startup‑like environment
• Experience working in air‑gapped or classified environments
• Security accreditation (e.g., IL-6, ICD-503)
• AWS Solutions Architect or similar
• Building or contributing to "from scratch" applications that had many users
• Mapping business priorities to technical priorities and vice versa
• Working with or adjacent to the public sector

Base Salary Range:

$150K - $200K USD | 0.25% - 0.75% Company Equity

• Estimate provided is dependent on a wide range of factors, including years of experience, relevant knowledge, and current security clearance
• Generous health & 401(k) benefits
• Relocation Assistance
• Unlimited PTO
