Client Engineer

About FSH Technologies FSH Tech builds modern software that just works for the public sector. When we deliver, taxpayer dollars go further, agencies move faster, and millions of Americans get tangibly better service and quality of life. Local governments, schools, libraries, and emergency services run on brittle software that was built decades ago. This results in wasted budgets, broken workflows, and bad outcomes for the public. We believe that the institutions closest to people's daily lives deserve products as good as anything in the private sector. We're building them. We're a small, high-agency team. The people who do their best work here are: Relentlessly optimistic in creating a better world now Driven to maximize societal impact Brilliant and creative About FSH Engineering Our ideal candidate is an expert in their tools. They’ve used their chosen tools to build software repeatedly, and they gain energy from understanding how the tools work. Our ideal candidate is obsessively curious, motivated by customer outcomes, and is a technical artist. We use Python, Postgres, and Unix to build and deploy our backends and React.js with TypeScript to build our frontends. We maintain a set of internal tools to deterministically generate Python and Typescript. We obsess over how to build compounding advantages in tooling, software, and product. FSH engineering will appeal to you if you’d like to work on a team that strives for simplicity in tech stack and approach, aggressively builds internal tools and platforms, has a deeply technical leader, only works on things that move the needle for the business, and doesn’t take itself too seriously. About the Role The FSH approach to building bespoke full stack applications for our customers quickly depends on engineers’ direct interaction with customers. Your work will balance the deeply technical with the fundamentally human. You will often be asked to play the role of product thinker or aesthete, and will succeed when you obsessively demonstrate customer empathy. Client engineers work with a set of clients at a time, and balance doing compounding work or improving the platform with shipping features in consultation with the customer.
