Fullstack Software Engineer (Congress)

Verdance

134d • $150,000 - $177,000

About The Position

You’ll join a growing company working with a variety of government agencies to build high-quality digital public services. Your initial project placement will be on a small team working in Congress to modernize tools used by legislative teams to manage critical budget processes. The role will be hybrid on-site, with an anticipated two days a week onsite in an office of the House of Representatives working directly with legislative staff, so living within a reasonable commute of the Capitol area is a must. We're anticipating that this team will be significantly less constrained in shipping velocity than many executive branch tech teams, so we're looking for someone with a scrappy get-it-done mindset so we can deliver great work to support Congress.

• Substantial experience with at least two of JavaScript, Python, Ruby or Java
• Enthusiasm to learn the ins and outs of complicated legislative processes

Nice To Haves

• A civic tech background
• Some C#/.NET experience or Windows development experience
• Enough infrastructure experience to be comfortable scrubbing in sometimes on DevOps tasks
• Understanding of unit testing, CI/CD, and cloud services
• Experience writing efficient, maintainable code
• Desire to learn about government and help make it better
• Desire to work at a small company focused on thoughtful growth
• Professionalism, curiosity, and humility

Benefits

• 150-177k salary range (depending on seniority)
• 4 weeks PTO per year + federal holidays
• Insurance, including dental and vision
• 401(k) with 4% match
• 12 weeks paid parental leave
