Join an early-stage government HR technology startup as a hands-on technical lead shaping product direction and building full-stack features. You will help modernize how public-sector organizations manage their workforce, including through practical AI-powered experiences.
Own product features from data modeling and API design through frontend development, release, and rollout.
Build AI-powered experiences, including chat interfaces, LLM tool-calling integrations, and useful ways to present generated insights.
Lead a small product engineering pod, setting technical direction and mentoring while remaining primarily hands-on.
Develop search, filtering, normalization, and other product surfaces over complex workforce data.
Strengthen engineering practices through thoughtful reviews, architecture decisions, and pragmatic standards.
Seven or more years building and shipping software products, with sustained staff-level technical ownership in a product domain.
Strong full-stack experience with TypeScript, Node.js, React, Tailwind CSS, Postgres data modeling, and API design.
Production experience building AI or LLM-powered features, such as agents, retrieval-augmented generation, tool-calling, or streaming.
Experience mentoring engineers as a player-coach and working at startups through periods of growth.
Relevant academic or professional background in the product domain, and experience building software before AI coding tools became widely used.
Clear, proactive communication skills, including the ability to ask questions and push back constructively.
Experience with TanStack, Next.js, Drizzle, background jobs or durable workflows, and tools such as Vercel AI SDK, VoltAgent, Mastra, Trigger.dev, or Temporal is valuable. Open-source contributions to widely used tools are also a plus.
Annual salary range: $202,000 to $262,000 USD. Visa sponsorship is available.
