About The Position

At Just Appraised, we're building the future of government workflows. With over 200 customers and growing fast, we're transitioning from startup to scale-up – while staying true to our mission: creating real, tangible impact for public sector teams. We're fully remote, highly collaborative, and committed to a culture where people can thrive, grow, and do their best work. In this role, you will take end-to-end ownership of your work, moving fluidly between discovery, design, development and deployment. Some days you will be deep in technical investigation mode - reverse-engineering systems, navigating messy APIs, and figuring things out with limited documentation. Other days, you’ll be the architect of scalable solutions, shaping production-ready code and delivering value to customers with confidence and clarity.

Requirements

• A senior engineer with deep technical expertise, especially in integrations, APIs and system architecture
• Comfortable reverse engineering system components and diving into customer databases, infrastructure, and codebases to understand how they work and integrate effectively
• Curious, resourceful, and energized by learning on the fly
• Self-starter with a bias for action and a strong sense of end-to-end ownership
• Customer-oriented, motivated by real-world impact and the satisfaction of solving hands-on, meaningful problems
• Strong communicator who can distill complexity and guide both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Passionate about building systems that empower others to work more effectively, and driven to challenge the status quo in pursuit of better solutions

Responsibilities

• Contribute to and improve our Java codebase with a focus on writing well-organized and maintainable code
• Use scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash, Powershell, etc.) and automation technologies (GitHub actions, Automatic deployment tools) to automate processes and extend system functionality
• Design and implement integrations with 3rd party databases, APIs, and data storage systems
• Engage directly with remote customer environments to understand architecture and design implementation plans that optimize for scale and reliability
• Act as a technical advisor to our customers—translating their needs into tailored, scalable solutions
• Work with cloud-based systems (AWS) to deploy, monitor and scale applications, ensuring performance, reliability, and security across customer environments

Benefits

• Ownership and autonomy – take full responsibility for projects from start to finish, with the freedom to shape how you work
• Variety and Challenge – work on diverse projects that keep you learning and engaged
• Great teammates – collaborate with cheerful, dedicated and clever coworkers
• Continuous learning – grow your skills through meaningful work
• Career runway – this role is a launchpad for professional growth
• Parental leave & life balance – because life happens
• Remote-first flexibility – work from anywhere, with a globally distributed team
