## 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
