With over 120 government entities in 25 states relying on us, your work will directly help drive essential revenues and provide critical services to society.
Join a high-growth, YC-backed, and fully remote startup. We are seeking a motivated Senior Implementation Engineer to take end-to-end ownership of technical projects, moving seamlessly through discovery, design, development, and deployment. This role requires a balance of deep technical investigation—navigating APIs, reverse-engineering systems, and working with limited documentation—and architectural design to create scalable, production-ready solutions for our customers.
What You Will Work On
- Software Development: Contribute to and enhance our core Java codebase, emphasizing maintainability and clean design.
- Scripting & Automation: Utilize scripting (e.g., Python, Bash) and automation tools (e.g., GitHub Actions) to streamline processes and extend system functionality.
- System Integration: Design and implement robust integrations with third-party databases, APIs, and data storage systems.
- Customer Infrastructure: Partner with remote customer teams to understand their architecture and design implementation plans that prioritize scale and reliability.
- Customer Collaboration: Serve as a trusted technical advisor, translating complex customer needs into tailored, scalable solutions.
- Cloud Infrastructure: Work with cloud-based systems (AWS) to deploy, monitor, and scale applications, ensuring high performance, reliability, and security across customer environments.
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years of experience in an Object Oriented Programming language (e.g. Python, Java, TypeScript).
- 5+ years of experience working with and optimizing relational databases (e.g., SQL, PostgreSQL).
- 2+ years of hands-on experience with cloud services, preferably Amazon Web Services (AWS).
- Demonstrated expertise in system architecture, API design, and complex integrations.
- Ability to travel to client sites, with an estimated commitment of approximately 20% of the time (e.g., a few trips per month).
- A resourceful problem-solver comfortable diving into unfamiliar customer databases and infrastructure to understand system mechanics.
- Curious, self-directed, and energized by learning new technologies.
- Customer-centric, driven by the real-world impact of solving meaningful, hands-on problems.
- An exceptional communicator who can simplify complex technical concepts for both engineering and non-technical stakeholders.
