Job Summary

You’ll deliver new product capabilities across our platform, working across the full stack — from database models to UI components — and owning features end-to-end. AI is central to how you’ll work: you’ll use AI-assisted development tools daily to accelerate your output, build AI-powered product experiences for our customers, and help establish the practices that make our team effective in this new operating model.

Responsibilities

• Build and improve APIs, microservices, and frontend experiences that power government agencies at scale

• Own features end-to-end: collaborate with Product and Design to define the problem, build the solution, ship it, and monitor it in production

• Build AI-powered product features — from intelligent data analysis and agent-driven workflows to AI-assisted user experiences that transform how government teams work

• Use AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or similar) as a core part of your workflow to accelerate coding, debugging, and documentation

• Produce clean, well-documented code and conduct thorough reviews of both human-written and AI-generated code, with a sharp eye for the subtle failure modes each produces

• Collaborate across the organization to translate business priorities into shipped features that drive customer success

Requirements and Preferred Experience

• Have 12+ years of professional experience building scalable software in an agile environment

• Have strong Full Stack experience with modern JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks (React or similar) and backend development with NodeJS

• Are comfortable working across the stack — frontend, backend, data layer — and shipping features end-to-end

• Have built heavily utilized enterprise SaaS software

• Actively use AI-assisted development tools and have a feel for when they accelerate you vs. when they lead you astray

• Have experience building AI-powered product features: agents, AI-driven UX, workflow automation, or retrieval systems (direct ML/model training experience not required)

• Have built APIs, designed database models (SQL and NoSQL), and worked with event-driven patterns

• Thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where new ideas ship daily, staying closely aligned to customer needs and outcomes

• Demonstrated experience working directly with customers to improve product experiences

• A track record of experimenting with new AI tools and bringing effective ones to your team

• Track record of driving team improvement through mentoring and process innovation
