Job description

The Role:
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to take full-stack technical ownership of a defined product surface within our platform. You will work as a trio alongside a Product Owner and a second engineer, using our AI-augmented software development lifecycle to deliver at a pace that traditionally required much larger teams. You own the technical architecture of your surface, the quality of the code that ships, and the technical development of the engineer you are paired with.

Responsibilities:
Own the technical architecture and quality of a defined product surface — including system design, code, tests, performance, and operational health of what ships

Partner with your Product Owner as a trio; bring clarity on what’s feasible, what tradeoffs exist, and how to deliver scope on the timeline you’ve committed to, and push back substantively when specifications need refinement

Build software using AI-augmented workflows as a core practice — drafting, reviewing, refactoring, testing, and documenting code with AI tools — and continuously raising your effectiveness with them

Make architectural decisions and defend them — across data models, API design, integration patterns, and system tradeoffs; document your reasoning so others can build on it

Mentor and develop the engineer you’re paired with — through code review, pairing, technical guidance, and modeling strong engineering practice

Maintain production responsibility for your surface — including monitoring, incident response, performance, and the security posture appropriate to a platform serving regulated public sector customers

Contribute to platform-wide engineering standards, tooling, and processes — not just your own surface

Support enterprise sales and customer conversations with substantive technical depth when needed

Write code that is correct, secure, maintainable, and tested — the AI accelerates you, but the work you ship is yours

Requirements:
7+ years of professional software development experience, with significant time spent owning full-stack product features end to end

Strong production experience with Node.js, React, PostgreSQL (or equivalent relational database), and modern HTML/CSS

Production experience with AWS (or equivalent cloud platform), CI/CD pipelines, and the operational practices required to run customer-facing systems reliably

Fluency with AI-assisted development workflows; you already use AI tools daily in your professional work

Sound architectural judgment — you can reason through tradeoffs across data, API, and system design, and explain those tradeoffs clearly

Experience working in an agile or continuous-delivery environment as a senior IC

Strong written and verbal communication; you write code, comments, and documentation that others can build on

Demonstrated track record of mentoring or developing other engineers

Comfort with ambiguity and incomplete information; you ask focused questions and move forward with sound judgment

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent professional experience

Preferred:
Experience with Electron-based desktop applications

Experience with component libraries such as Ant Design, Material UI, or Styled Components

Experience building data-intensive products where presenting analytical outputs to non-technical users is a core design challenge

Experience with products that serve regulated industries where security, audit, and compliance are first-class concerns

Experience supporting mission-critical platforms requiring 24×7 uptime

Experience taking a product from zero to one, not just iterating on established systems

Familiarity with security practices appropriate for public safety data

Experience in law enforcement, public safety, or govtech domains

Experience working in an early- to growth-stage startup environment

What we offer:
Unlimited Paid Time Off.

Ability to work in a fully remote environment (must be based in the U.S. and willing to work in Central Time Zone).

Summer Half-Day Fridays.

Freed Up Fridays during Spring, Fall, and Winter months to promote productivity and dedicated heads-down work time.

Medical, dental, and vision plan offerings along with 401(k).

Employer-paid Short-Term Disability, Long-Term Disability, and Life Insurance.

Other Voluntary Benefits include additional Life Insurance, Spouse Life Insurance, and Accident Insurance.

The satisfaction that comes with being part of a solution that has real impact in the world.

A diverse workforce and inclusive environment that embraces unique contributions and experiences.

An empowered culture that encourages creativity and professional growth.
