Product Engineer

We're assisting a well funded startup in the govtech space with their search for product engineers. They provide custom software for state and local governments, helping to modernize a largely outdated sector. The role will work onsite in their Flatiron NY office, and they're hiring multiple engineers in this capacity.

• Build user-friendly, reliable software for government officials – work closely with our government partners to develop and implement software that replaces legacy, hidebound mainframe and pen-and-paper systems.
• Own internal tooling – design and maintain the internal systems that orchestrate long, back-to-back AI pipelines and agents across tasks and users.

• Project history – what have you built in a vacuum?
• Strong fluency in Backend (Python and/or Node) and modern Frontend development (React, Tailwind
  
  CSS, or similar)
• Hands-on experience using AI coding tools (Claude Code, Factory, Codex, Gemini-CLI, etc.) as part of your workflow.
• Comfort spinning up small full-stack apps: API, data model, simple UI, deployment.
• US work authorization;
  US citizen
• Willingness to work in-person in Flatiron, NYC (5 days/week).

• Experience at a startup or as a founder / founding engineer.
• Familiarity with long-running workflows, background workers, queues, or “agentic” AI orchestration.
