Software Engineer – ImplementationLocation: Remote (U.S.) Travel: ~10% to client sites (estimated annually) Compensation: Competitive + equityOur client is modernizing outdated local government workflows with software used by hundreds of government agencies across the United States. Their AI-powered platform leverages Natural Language Processing (NLP) to replace manual data entry—reducing delays, backlogs, and errors. The work directly impacts how communities fund schools, infrastructure, and essential public services.The RoleOur client is hiring a Software Engineer – Implementation to design and deliver the technical integrations that make the platform work in the real world.This role sits at the intersection of engineering, infrastructure, data, and customer systems.
You'll own implementations end-to-end—from discovery and system analysis through deployment and production reliability. If you like reverse-engineering systems, building integrations, and solving messy real-world technical problems, you'll thrive here.This is a lean engineering environment—no separate QA, product management, or design hand-offs. Engineers own the full journey: scoping, building, deploying, and supporting what ships.
If you enjoy ambiguity and prefer ownership over handoffs, this is a strong fit. If you need a neatly defined roadmap and multiple layers catching issues before release, it may not be the right environment.What You'll Work OnExamples of problems implementation engineers tackle:Integrating with heterogeneous government databases and legacy systemsReverse-engineering APIs and data structures with limited documentationDesigning scalable pipelines to ingest and normalize messy property datasetsAutomating onboarding workflows across multiple customer environmentsBuilding infrastructure that ensures reliability and performance across deploymentsTranslating real-world operational constraints into robust system architectureTech StackBackend: JavaAutomation / Scripting: Python, BashData: PostgreSQL, SQLInfrastructure: AWS, Docker, TerraformDev Tools: GitHub, GitHub Actions, Linear, Claude Code, Cursor, CI/CD, automated testingYou don't need to know everything on day one—our client values strong fundamentals and a growth mindset.What You'll DoSoftware development: Contribute to and enhance a core Java codebase with a focus on maintainability and clean designScripting & automation: Use Python/Bash and automation (GitHub Actions) to streamline workflows and extend platform functionalitySystem integration: Design and implement robust integrations with third-party databases, APIs, and data storage systemsCustomer infrastructure: Partner with customer teams to understand their architecture and build implementation plans that prioritize reliability and scaleCustomer collaboration: Act as a trusted technical advisor—turning complex requirements into practical, scalable solutionsCloud & deployment: Deploy, monitor, and scale applications in AWS—ensuring performance, reliability, and security across customer environmentsWhat Our Client Is Looking For2+ years of professional software development experience with strong proficiency in at least one backend language (Java, Python, Ruby, etc.)2+ years working with relational databases (SQL / PostgreSQL), including performance and data modeling fundamentalsExperience with cloud services (AWS preferred)Demonstrated ability with system architecture, API design, and complex integrationsComfortable traveling to client sites (~10% annually)Resourceful problem-solver who can dive into unfamiliar databases/infrastructure and understand how systems workCurious, self-directed, and energized by learning new technologiesCustomer-centric and motivated by solving real problems with visible impactStrong communicator able to explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholdersThe "must-have" traitsOur client prioritizes engineers who:Enjoy solving real-world technical problemsTake ownership of systems and outcomesAre curious, resourceful, and pragmatic buildersBenefitsCompetitive compensation + equity planMedical, dental, vision, and life insuranceCompany-sponsored 401(k) programFlexible work environment that supports working from homeFlexible PTOParental leaveHome office stipend
