About The Position

GovSignals is hiring a Product Engineer to expand its product engineering team. The engineer will work directly with the CPO and own complete customer-facing product areas from initial concept through production. The role involves planning, building, and shipping features frequently, then maintaining and fixing them after launch. Work is goal-oriented rather than specification-driven, and the engineer will decide what to build. The position focuses on high-impact product areas, rapid iteration based on user feedback and production data, and turning ambiguous product goals into engineering plans with measurable outcomes. The engineer will collaborate with the deployment team and customers to identify product shortcomings and determine improvements. The technology stack includes Kubernetes, AWS GovCloud, Cloudflare Workers, Supabase, SvelteKit, TypeScript, Trigger.dev, Postgres, and UDS. The role is remote within the U.S.; the posting also describes a Brooklyn Navy Yard office and says the team works in person there three or more days a week.

Requirements

At least 5 years of full-stack engineering experience and a proven record of shipping customer-facing features end-to-end.
Government or defense experience, such as building software for government users, working at a defense technology company, military service, or government contracting work.
Strong frontend TypeScript skills with modern frameworks; Svelte or SvelteKit is strongly preferred, while React or Next.js is acceptable.
Hands-on experience with Postgres and backend TypeScript, including designing schemas, writing migrations, and optimizing queries.
Ability to break ambiguous problems into shippable increments and communicate tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders.
Comfort working in a fast-moving, early-stage environment with shifting priorities and ownership of outcomes.
Extensive AI experience is expected.
Must be a U.S. citizen or other U.S. Person.

Nice To Haves

Experience with AI-first UX patterns, RAG pipelines, or AI agent architectures.
Experience in FedRAMP, Impact Level, HIPAA, or other regulated environments.
Open-source work.
An active or previous security clearance.

Responsibilities

Own high-impact product areas and ship customer-facing improvements daily, from whiteboard to production.
Iterate on UI, UX, and core application logic using real user feedback and production data.
Turn ambiguous product goals into clear engineering plans, execute them, and measure outcomes.
Work with the deployment team and directly with customers to identify product gaps and decide how to address them.
Maintain and fix features after launch, including responding when something breaks.
