Resumo da oferta

Kaizenlabs in New York and DC is seeking a senior software engineer to shape AI-native features for a government-scale platform. You’ll influence design, mentor teammates, and set technical direction across a platform touched by millions of Americans.

This hybrid role requires 5+ years of professional engineering and hands-on work with Palantir Foundry, AIP, or Maven Smart System, plus fluency in React/Next.js and Node.js/TypeScript/Postgres. A TS/SCI clearance is required.

Qualificações

• 5+ years of professional engineering experience, with a track record of owning complex features and systems, not just executing on them.
• Hands-on development experience with Palantir Foundry, AIP, or Maven Smart System. You have modeled against the ontology, shipped pipelines or AIP agents, and can say what the platform does well and where you had to work around it
• Deep fluency in React / Next.js and Node.js / TypeScript / Postgres. Fast, not just functional
• AI coding tools (Cursor, Copilot, Claude) are already baked into how you work. You've shipped with them, and you move measurably faster because of it
• You've built something real: a product, an open source project, a system you designed and stood behind
• Proven ability to operate in ambiguity: you define the problem as often as you solve it, and you don't stall waiting for the answer to come to you
• A genuine orientation toward the end user, the person on the other side of the screen isn't an abstraction to you

Responsabilidades

• Architect and ship full-stack features end-to-end, from scoping and technical design through build, iteration, and production
• Build and integrate against the Palantir stack: Foundry ontologies and pipelines, AIP agents, and Maven Smart System workflows
• Build inside classification and data-handling constraints rather than around them
• Lead the development of AI-powered product surfaces: intelligent intake flows, real-time constituent assistants, automated case routing, agency operator dashboards
• Set technical direction and raise the bar on code quality. Your decisions become the patterns the rest of the team builds on
• Engage directly with federal agency stakeholders to translate messy real-world requirements into clean, shippable product
• Own platform reliability and performance at government scale: real SLAs, real users, no abstraction layer between you and accountability
• Mentor earlier-career engineers through code review, pairing, and direct technical feedback
