We are seeking an experienced Senior Software Engineer to be part of a team building scalable, distributed systems that empower access to critical government data. Our mission is to build cloud-based platforms and applications that streamline the flow of public data into the hands of citizens, developers, businesses, and researchers. You'll work with a dedicated team to design, develop, and maintain a cutting-edge, cloud-native platform that transforms how government data is accessed and used.
 
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will work on a small team (4-6 engineers) responsible for building out the future of enterprise-level authentication and authorization features for the Data & Insights platform. We deliver innovative, scalable solutions for some of the most important data on the planet. We are looking for engineers who are eager to dive deep into development, share their expertise, and contribute to a collaborative culture that emphasizes continuous improvement and growth.
 
This role can be performed remotely from anywhere in the U.S.
 
Before we get to the list-y bit of the posting, a few key points: 
  • You must be a resident in the U.S. to be considered for this role.
  • We are not considering candidates who require visa sponsorship for this position. This is a budgetary decision and due to the significant talent available currently who do not require such sponsorship.
  • This is not a data analyst or data science role. This is a software engineer/software developer position with a focus on back-end development.
 

Work with our transformative data solutions that help agencies address mission-critical outcomes. Our cloud-based data platform, open data solutions, and performance management solutions help agencies improve performance, transparency, and public engagement.
