About The Position

State governments, specifically legislatures, have been operating on antiquated technology leading to billions in downstream costs in the U.S. each year. This information-dense industry’s lack of innovation directly impacts legislators, government workers, lobbyists, and advocates’ ability to efficiently implement effective legislation. Legible AI is breathing new life into this industry, providing the operating system for effective state governance in the post-information age. This is a well-funded startup that is experiencing significant growth across many of the United States in both the public and private sector with the goal of capturing significant market share across all 50 states within the next year. We have significant runway, an exceptional team, a growing product loved by our customers, and a clear mission driving us forward. We’re looking for another software engineer to join our product team of 5. This engineer is joining a team with a strong product & engineering culture, working directly with the co-founder/head of product, the head of engineering, our lead designer, and two additional engineers to rapidly develop the Legible product roadmap, own the delivery of features end-to-end, and iterate on existing features that are used heavily in information-dense workflows. You will contribute to technical design, architecture, and prioritization. You will own delivery, testing, documentation, and maintenance.
