## About the role

GovWell already has AI in production doing real work inside government: Our AI AutoCheck reviews permit applications against local building codes, and our AI Community Assistant automatically answers resident and staff questions about permitting and licensing. Both are live, both are improving fast, and both are still early enough that the engineers who join this team now will define the kind of impact that AI can have at GovWell.

## What they're looking for

- You've built with LLMs beyond prompt-wrapping — retrieval-augmented generation, evaluation harnesses, or reliability/hallucination mitigation in a system real users depended on
- You know the difference between a demo that impresses in a meeting and a system reliable enough that a government reviewer will actually trust its output — and you're energized by closing that gap, not just building the demo
- You're comfortable owning ambiguity: there's no existing playbook for "AI reviewer for municipal permitting," and part of the job is writing it as you go
- You have real product judgment — you can help decide what GovWell's AI surface area looks like next, not just implement a spec
- Strong full-stack ability: you're shipping UI, API, and the retrieval/model infrastructure underneath it, not working purely in a notebook
- Values-aligned : you embody our Core Values
