• Collaborate closely with the engineering team and company leadership
• Interface with customers to understand pain points and improve the product
• Build tools to process, analyze, and display large datasets
• Contribute to the design of scalable, intuitive software systems
• Operate with autonomy in a startup environment where speed and ownership matter

What We’re Looking For

• 0–3 years of professional experience (new grads welcome)
• Strong proficiency in Python and React
• Familiarity with tools like Django, AWS, Spark, or similar frameworks
• Solid fundamentals in software engineering and CS principles
• Great communication skills and ability to collaborate across teams
• Strong sense of initiative and ownership
• U.S. citizenship (required)
• Willingness and ability to work on-site in Boston

Bonus Points For

• Experience with ML, LLMs, or building data pipelines
• Personal or open-source projects that demonstrate curiosity and technical ability
• Experience working in startups or early-stage environments
• Willingness to travel occasionally for user engagement

Why Apply?

This is a unique opportunity to help build software that directly supports national priorities—while growing your career in a fast-moving, high-ownership engineering environment. You’ll work side-by-side with experienced engineers and founders, with real room for growth and impact.
