[Hiring] Full Stack Software Developer @Delivery Associates

Role Description

Delivery Associates is building a new kind of team—one that helps partners across government and the social sector move from policy ambition to real, AI-enabled products and services that improve outcomes for people.

We are hiring a Full Stack Software Developer to help build and ship these solutions. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role: turning defined problems and product direction into simple, functional, and reliable applications that can be deployed and used in real-world public sector environments.

In this role, you will work across the stack—from building backend services and APIs to implementing user-facing interfaces—to design systems that support real workflows. This includes:

• Connecting data
• Integrating APIs
• Structuring and transforming data
• Incorporating external tools (including AI services) into usable, end-to-end processes

You will work closely with an AI Solutions Engineer, a Product Manager, and Delivery teams to translate ideas into working products—often in contexts with fragmented data, tight timelines, and evolving requirements. Success in this role requires:

• The ability to build quickly
• Keeping solutions simple
• Delivering working features that can be used and iterated on in real environments

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional experience building and shipping production-grade applications
• Strong proficiency in modern programming languages (e.g., JavaScript/TypeScript, Python) and ability to work effectively across the stack
• Solid experience designing and implementing full-stack systems, including frontend interfaces, backend services, and data models
• Experience integrating and working with APIs, including designing clean service interactions and handling external dependencies
• Ability to work with real-world data: querying, transforming, and structuring datasets for use in applications
• Experience building and maintaining reliable systems, including debugging, error handling, and performance considerations
• Ability to translate product and technical requirements into well-structured, maintainable implementations
• Comfort working in fast-paced, iterative environments with evolving requirements and tight timelines
• Sound engineering judgment, with a bias toward simple, reliable, and maintainable solutions
• Professional English and Portuguese required
• Must be based in and have work authorization in Brazil

Requirements

• Experience integrating AI/LLM APIs into real applications (e.g., OpenAI, Claude), including basic prompt design and structured outputs
• Exposure to building data-driven workflows using external or unstructured data
• Familiarity with geospatial data, public sector datasets, or data pipelines in messy environments
• Experience working on products for government, social impact, or operational service delivery contexts
• Comfort contributing to systems that connect multiple services (APIs, databases, third-party tools) into end-to-end workflows

Benefits

• Meaningful work that contributes to solving complex social challenges around the world
• Ongoing learning and growth through mentorship and leadership opportunities
• Opportunity to shape a new model of delivery at the intersection of consulting, product, and AI
