## About the role

We're looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with 5+ years of product engineering experience to join our Core Platform team. You'll implement features that help build resilient communities - from real-time flood risk visualizations to automated permit workflows that cut response times from weeks to hours. This is a product ownership role where you'll work directly with government users who are on the frontlines of climate adaptation.

## What they're looking for

- A product engineer, not just a coder. 5+ years of experience building and shipping features that real users depend on — not just writing code, but owning outcomes
- Full-stack fluency. Deep comfort with TypeScript, React, and working across the stack — backend to frontend and everything in between
- Data at your core. Strong SQL and database design instincts — you think in schemas, not just queries
- A history of leading by example. Through mentorship, code reviews, and sound technical decision-making — not because it's in your job description, but because it's how you work
- At home in ambiguity. A track record of taking unclear requirements and delivering complex features independently. You thrive in a startup environment where ownership runs deep and the boundaries of your role are whatever the team needs
- Respect for the systems around the code. Enough familiarity with CI/CD, testing frameworks, and developer tooling to improve how the team ships — not just what it ships
