## About the role

I’m hiring a Software Engineering Lead to help me (the CTO) improve how federal tech gets delivered. This is a hands-on leadership role: you’ll own critical systems end-to-end, set a high technical bar, and grow a team that ships with speed and rigor. We operate where it’s hardest -- security, reliability, scale, and clarity under ambiguity.

## What they're looking for

- Led teams building or personally built complex, distributed systems with real users and uptime requirements
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with demonstrated technical leadership on complex systems or products
- A hands-on engineer who still enjoys coding while taking on leadership responsibilities
- Background as a Tech Lead, Senior/Staff Engineer, early engineer at a high-growth startup, or founder/co-founder of a startup
- Experience building modern web applications with frameworks such as React or Next.js, with strong product intuition and UX/design sensibility
- Backend expertise with modern frameworks such as Django, FastAPI, or Node.js, along with strong SQL and system design fundamentals
