Municipal and county governments in 40+ states use GovWell's AI operating system to deliver better services, work smarter, and build public trust. Backed by Insight.
About the role
GovWell is hiring Forward Deployed Software Engineers to sit inside our most complex enterprise deals — the ones where a county's 20-year-old permitting system, a workflow no vendor has handled before, or a migration off legacy systems is standing between a signed contract and a working deployment.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years of experience as a full-stack or forward deployed engineer in a production SaaS environment
- Strong product judgment with a track record of deciding when to build, abstract, configure, or push back
- Experience working on customer-facing deployments, integrations, or migration-heavy environments
- Effective communicator with executive-facing credibility — you can hold your own in a room with a municipal CIO or department head
- Comfortable operating under ambiguity and owning high-impact, revenue-sensitive problems
- Strong coding ability in TypeScript/Node or similar
