You'll gain hands-on experience across the full stack, learn from senior engineers, and contribute to systems that serve millions of people. This is a fully remote role open to candidates based in the United States.

What You'll Do

• Collaborate with customer delivery leads, engineers, and UX designers on real-world deployments.
• Build full-stack features for state governments and public sector partners, with guidance from senior engineers.
• Learn to translate customer requirements into technical solutions and production-ready systems.
• Develop backend services and web applications that meet public sector security, privacy, and accessibility standards.
• Contribute to codebases spanning backend, mobile, and browser environments.
• Participate in customer deployments and learn the full lifecycle of software delivery.
• Engage with open identity standards and privacy-focused engineering practices.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (recent graduates welcome).
• Foundational experience with backend development in a statically typed language (Rust, Go, C#, Java, or similar)—coursework, internships, or personal projects count.
• Demonstrated ability to learn quickly and work collaboratively.
• Strong communication skills and genuine interest in working with customers and stakeholders.
• Appreciation for open-source software, clean code, and thoughtful engineering.
• Based in the U.S. (or willing to relocate without visa assistance - TN considered) and excited to contribute to impactful public sector work.

Requirements

• Internship or project experience in full-stack development.
• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) through coursework or side projects.
• Interest in digital identity, cryptography, data privacy, or security.
• Familiarity with modern web frontends (React, TypeScript, or similar).
• Familiarity with databases (PostgreSQL), APIs (REST or GraphQL), or CI/CD concepts.
• Contributions to open-source projects or hackathon participation.
• Coursework or interest in accessibility, usability, or inclusive design.
• Any exposure to government technology, civic tech, or high-compliance environments.

Benefits

• Mission-driven work: Build technology that protects privacy and improves how governments serve citizens.
• Remote-first culture: Work from anywhere in the U.S. with a team that values async collaboration.
• Early responsibility: We're a growing company where you'll have real impact from day one.
• Standards-based engineering: Contribute to open-source projects and work with emerging identity standards (W3C, DIF, IETF).
• Supportive team: Join a group of engineers who care about craft, mentorship, and doing things right.
