Software Engineer – AI-Forward Product Engineering

Reports to: Head of Engineering

Direct Reports: None

We are looking for a product-minded Software Engineer who is
highly comfortable working with AI-assisted and agentic
development workflows.

This is not a traditional engineering role where success is
measured simply by how much code you write yourself. You’ll use
AI coding agents extensively, breaking complex product
requirements into well-defined tasks, directing and reviewing
generated work, validating quality, and continuously improving
the development processes around these tools.

You’ll join a small, highly collaborative team building software
that supports complex, real-world government workflows. Your work
will directly influence the products customers use every day and
the communities those organizations serve.

Why Join?

The company develops technology that helps public-sector
organizations operate more accurately, efficiently, and fairly.
Its products support important administrative workflows and help
government teams make better use of their data and resources.

The engineering organization has adopted an AI-first development
approach in practice, not simply as an experiment. AI coding
agents are incorporated throughout the software development
lifecycle, including implementation, code review, testing,
documentation, prototyping, and development automation.

Engineers remain accountable for what ultimately reaches
production. You’ll help determine where agents can operate
autonomously, where human judgment is required, and how
development workflows can continuously improve.

Because this is a small engineering team, you’ll have meaningful
ownership over architecture, development practices, and the
products being delivered.

Responsibilities

* Demonstrate a customer-focused mindset, ownership, empathy, and
a willingness to go beyond the minimum required.
* Coordinate multiple AI coding agents and break specifications
into clear, independent tasks that can be executed safely in
parallel.
* Own the review and verification process for AI-generated code,
assessing correctness, architectural consistency, potential
impact, and production readiness.
* Improve the infrastructure surrounding agent-assisted
development, including reusable instructions, policies,
automation, documentation, and feedback loops.
* Deliver features across multiple products using modern
deployment practices, including feature flags and frequent
production releases.
* Take a specification-first approach: clearly define
requirements, expected behavior, and testing criteria before
implementation.
* Work directly with customers when appropriate to understand
operational workflows and translate real-world problems into
effective product solutions.
* Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, and Customer
Success teams to investigate and resolve technical challenges.
* Consider scalability, maintainability, observability, security,
and cost when making engineering decisions.

Requirements

* 3–7 years of professional software engineering experience
building and shipping production software.
* Hands-on experience using modern agentic coding tools such as
Claude Code, Cursor, or comparable platforms as part of your
regular development workflow.
* Experience coordinating multiple AI agents or parallel
AI-assisted development workflows.
* An understanding of common agentic-development failure modes,
such as incorrect assumptions, goal drift, conflicting changes,
unnecessary execution loops, and confidently incorrect output.
* Strong code-review capabilities with the ability to identify
architectural and systemic problems, rather than focusing only on
implementation details.
* A specification-first mindset and the ability to clearly define
what successful completion looks like before development begins.
* Product-oriented thinking and a willingness to interact
directly with customers.
* Experience thinking about software as a system, including data
models, multi-tenancy, observability, scalability, reliability,
and infrastructure costs.
* Experience in a smaller or fast-moving organization where you
have owned features or systems end to end.
* Excellent communication, collaboration, and problem-solving
skills.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with some of the following would be beneficial:

* Frontend: Vue 3, TypeScript, Pinia, PrimeVue, Tailwind CSS
* Backend: Python, FastAPI
* Data & Infrastructure: PostgreSQL/PostGIS, Celery, Redis
* Experience developing reusable AI-agent instructions,
coding-agent skills, hooks, guardrails, or approval workflows for
engineering teams
* Playwright and Model Context Protocol (MCP)
* Feature-flag platforms and progressive delivery practices
* Component libraries or design systems
* Authentication and observability platforms such as Auth0,
Sentry, or Datadog
* AWS or similar cloud infrastructure
