- Strong background in modern web frontends (React, TypeScript, or similar) with an eye for accessibility and security.
- Proven ability to lead cross-functional engineering efforts and deliver production-grade systems.
- Strong appreciation for open-source software, standards-based design, and community-driven development.
- Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and DevOps practices.
- Excellent communication skills and comfort working directly with customers or stakeholders.
- Based in the U.S., excited to collaborate with state government partners.
Nice to Have

- Familiarity with PostgreSQL, GraphQL, or RESTful API design and development.
- Understanding of CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and automation using Terraform, or similar tools.
- Exposure to mobile app development (React Native, Flutter, or similar frameworks).
- Experience in security engineering, access control, federated identity, or PKI systems.
- Prior work in public sector, government technology, or other high-compliance environments.
