Software Engineer, Implementation

Software Engineer - Implementation (Integrations / Data Pipelines / Customer Systems)

Location: Remote (U.S.)
Travel: ~10% to client sites (estimated annually)
Compensation: Competitive + equity

About Our Client

Our client is modernizing outdated local government workflows with software used by hundreds of government agencies across the United States .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 Role

Our 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.

What Makes This Team Different

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 On

Examples of problems implementation engineers tackle:

• Integrating with heterogeneous government databases and legacy systems
• Reverse-engineering APIs and data structures with limited documentation
• Designing scalable pipelines to ingest and normalize messy property datasets
• Automating onboarding workflows across multiple customer environments
• Building infrastructure that ensures reliability and performance across deployments
• Translating real-world operational constraints into robust system architecture

Tech Stack

• Backend: Java
• Automation / Scripting: Python, Bash
• Data: PostgreSQL, SQL
• Infrastructure: AWS, Docker, Terraform
• Dev Tools: GitHub, GitHub Actions, Linear, Claude Code, Cursor, CI/CD, automated testing

You don't need to know everything on day one-our client values strong fundamentals and a growth mindset.

What You'll Do

• Software development: Contribute to and enhance a core Java codebase with a focus on maintainability and clean design
• Scripting & automation: Use Python/Bash and automation (GitHub Actions) to streamline workflows and extend platform functionality
• System integration: Design and implement robust integrations with third-party databases, APIs, and data storage systems
• Customer infrastructure: Partner with customer teams to understand their architecture and build implementation plans that prioritize reliability and scale
• Customer collaboration: Act as a trusted technical advisor-turning complex requirements into practical, scalable solutions
• Cloud & deployment: Deploy, monitor, and scale applications in AWS-ensuring performance, reliability, and security across customer environments

What Our Client Is Looking For

• 2+ 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 fundamentals
• Experience with cloud services (AWS preferred)
• Demonstrated ability with system architecture, API design, and complex integrations
• Comfortable traveling to client sites (~10% annually)
• Resourceful problem-solver who can dive into unfamiliar databases/infrastructure and understand how systems work
• Curious, self-directed, and energized by learning new technologies
• Customer-centric and motivated by solving real problems with visible impact
• Strong communicator able to explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

The "must-have" traits

Our client prioritizes engineers who:

• Enjoy solving real-world technical problems
• Take ownership of systems and outcomes
• Are curious, resourceful, and pragmatic builders

Benefits

• Competitive compensation + equity plan
• Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance
• Company-sponsored 401(k) program
• Flexible work environment that supports working from home
• Flexible PTO
• Parental leave
• Home office stipend
