Benefits offered by this job

Flexible PTO

Fully remote

Job summary

Concourse, an early-stage startup building AI-powered software for state and local governments, offers a full-time remote role pairing with a forward-deployed engineer on a government client engagement. You’ll own backend APIs, data models, and lightweight UIs, shipping production-ready code that demonstrates real impact.

Expect a 70/30 split backend/frontend, daily use of Claude and other AI tools, and a steep learning curve near senior engineers.

Qualifications

• 1–3 years of professional software engineering experience.
• Proficiency in Python and/or TypeScript/Node.js.
• Experience with React + Tailwind to build clean UIs.
• Ability to spin up small full-stack apps end-to-end.
• Daily use of AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or similar).
• Strong written and spoken English with asynchronous communication.

Responsibilities

• Pair 1:1 with a forward-deployed engineer on a single client engagement — they own the relationship; you own making the software work.
• Build the backend (~70% of the role): APIs, data models, ingestion, integrations, and the orchestration glue that wraps Claude into a real product.
• Build the frontend (~30% of the role): lightweight React UIs that let a government official actually use the system.
• Write and iterate on Claude prompts, agent configs, skills, and Claude Code workflows that solve the client’s specific problem.
• Prep and clean client data so it’s usable by our AI pipelines (parsing legacy exports, normalizing schemas, building small loaders).
• Run tight feedback loops — your FDE comes back from a client call with new requirements, you turn them around the same day.
• Pick up patterns and contribute them back to our shared platform so the next engagement starts further along.
