About the role

About the Role

Join a team building AI-powered software for government agencies. You will partner with a forward deployed product manager to deliver modern systems that improve public services, working directly with clients from discovery through ongoing use.

What You'll Do

  • Lead technical projects end to end, from client conversations and solution design through implementation, launch, and maintenance.

  • Use AI coding tools to build and iterate quickly against customer needs.

  • Create reusable components, data models, and workflows that support future deployments.

  • Work with government stakeholders, spending roughly 25% of your time client-facing and 75% building.

  • Travel occasionally to client sites, approximately five days per quarter.

What We're Looking For

  • One to five years of experience in forward deployed engineering or customer-facing software engineering.

  • Experience owning a technical deployment from initial build through customer adoption and post-launch maintenance.

  • Hands-on use of AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, or Factory as part of your regular workflow.

  • Full-stack engineering experience, including backend and frontend development, data modeling, and workflow systems.

  • A technical degree or equivalent background, with strong computer science or engineering fundamentals.

  • Experience at an early-stage technology company or in government-facing, public sector, or govtech work is helpful.

  • Current US work authorization without a need for employer visa sponsorship.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary is $170,000 to $220,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available.

Location

On-site in New York, New York, five days per week, with occasional client-site travel.
