About The Position

We're hiring a software engineer to join the team responsible for bringing Tines to federal customers in AWS GovCloud. You'll build and improve the product features and tooling that make Tines work seamlessly in a compliance-regulated environment, ensuring federal customers have the same powerful experience as our commercial users — while meeting the security and operational requirements unique to the government. This role is about more than writing code: you'll have an influential voice in shaping our technical direction, our product, and our culture. We have a hugely supportive and collaborative engineering team that takes great pride in the work we do and the challenges we solve. We're eager to help grow and nurture each other's abilities and also create an environment where we have the ability to do our very best work.

Requirements

Roughly 7+ years as a professional software engineer.
Proven track record of success as a senior software engineer.
Direct experience of building and delivering software using a high-level programming language.
Comfortable reasoning about security at the application layer. You should be able to look at a feature and identify where it needs to handle encryption, access control, audit logging, or data retention differently for a government deployment — and implement those changes yourself.
Customer obsessed and willing to go deep into unfamiliar stacks to find root causes for errors, performance issues, and bugs.
Understand that the best solution isn't always the best technical solution, but a compromise that meets customers where they are.
Focused on the most important problems, not the most interesting ones.
Work healthily and sustainably. Work reasonable hours, take holidays and plan workloads realistically.
Contributions will be obvious. Impact will be clear to everyone.
Building an inclusive, supportive team. Treat colleagues with kindness and respect.
Applicants must be U.S. citizens and must perform work while located within the United States.

Nice To Haves

Experience building software that operates in compliance-regulated or security-sensitive environments is a strong plus.
Familiarity with FedRAMP, FISMA, SOC 2, HIPAA, or similar compliance frameworks.
Experience with Ruby, Rails, React, TypeScript, Postgres, Redis, AWS CDK, and Kubernetes.

Responsibilities

Design, build, and harden product features within a compliance-regulated cloud environment — writing code with a strong focus on security controls, data privacy, and auditability.
Building features specific to AWS GovCloud users: authentication methods required by federal agencies, audit and compliance capabilities, and tooling that makes it easier for customers to operate and audit their own Tines tenants.
Building abstractions that reduce friction for engineers across Tines to author and test features in a government cloud environment without needing direct access to it — environment-aware configuration, feature flags, and automated compliance boundary testing.
Enabling software engineers to build new product features that work seamlessly across commercial and government cloud environments: observability, logging, and simplifying deployments.
Analyzing our application for security gaps, identifying where existing functionality needs to be adapted, constrained, or hardened to meet government standards — and implementing those changes yourself.
Working cross-functionally across product teams to align timelines and develop hands-on solutions that meet security controls, translating between compliance requirements and engineering reality.
Using your knowledge and experience to mentor other engineers on secure design patterns and building confidently for regulated environments.
Supporting our self-hosted federal customers operating in our CMMC environment, including handling escalations and complex, long-running support cases as part of the team's on-call responsibilities.
