Job description

We are seeking an experienced Senior Software Engineer to be part of a team building scalable, distributed systems that empower access to critical government data. Our mission is to build cloud-based platforms and applications that streamline the flow of public data into the hands of citizens, developers, businesses, and researchers. You'll work with a dedicated team to design, develop, and maintain a cutting-edge, cloud-native platform that transforms how government data is accessed and used.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will work on a small team (4-6 engineers) responsible for building out the future of enterprise-level authentication and authorization features for the Data & Insights platform. We deliver innovative, scalable solutions for some of the most important data on the planet. We are looking for engineers who are eager to dive deep into development, share their expertise, and contribute to a collaborative culture that emphasizes continuous improvement and growth.

This role can be performed remotely from anywhere in the U.S.

Before we get to the list-y bit of the posting, a few key points:

• You must be a resident in the U.S. to be considered for this role.
• We are not considering candidates who require visa sponsorship for this position. This is a budgetary decision and due to the significant talent available currently who do not require such sponsorship.
• This is not a data analyst or data science role. This is a software engineer/software developer position with a focus on back-end development.

Work with our transformative data solutions that help agencies address mission-critical outcomes. Our cloud-based data platform, open data solutions, and performance management solutions help agencies improve performance, transparency, and public engagement.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and ship customer-facing features that enable advanced data reporting on government data.
• Maintain and improve our cloud platform running on AWS, ensuring it is scalable, reliable, and easy to use.
• Mentor and guide junior engineers to help them grow their technical skills and confidence.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including engineering management, designers, and product owners, to develop effective solutions to business challenges.
• Proactively identify opportunities to simplify our systems and improve performance, security, and scalability.

Qualifications

We would love to talk to you if you…

• Care about scalable, robust, well-tested code.
• Consider yourself a full stack engineer, willing to work in any part of the stack required for the task. For a senior level role, we need you to have at least 4 years of experience.
• Have significant backend experience (specifically API development with Java cloud native frameworks).
• Have experience building enterprise-level AuthN and AuthZ features.
• Show a strong track record of shipping software in the face of ambiguity.
• Demonstrate experience in owning all aspects of a system lifecycle, from proper design, testing, deployment, metrics and monitoring .
• Enable other engineers’ success both through your code contributions and through direct mentorship.
• Share our passion for our clients’ success (no really, we mean it).
• Have experience exploring, or ideally working with, database technologies including relational databases (we use Postgres). Bonus points for experience with technologies like Elasticsearch and AWS.
• Are comfortable working in a heterogeneous development environment where you’ll be working with multiple development languages and technologies. This team owns significant portions of Java, Scala, and ruby code.
• You solve the problem, not the symptoms.
• Required to undergo and satisfactorily pass a fingerprint background check in accordance with CJIS requirements

State-Specific Salary Range Disclosure Requirements

Salary will generally fall between $66,585 - $130,000 before adjustment for geographic differences. Recruiter can confirm if position is incentive eligible.

Tyler is subject to regulations, guidelines, and/or client requirements relating to the qualifications of Tyler personnel performing certain client work. Because of the nature of this position, it is a requirement that the candidate can successfully pass a federal background check at the time an offer is extended and over the course of employment with Tyler.
