Job Description:

Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) at EffiGov lead deployments in local governments across the nation. You will embed with city and county employees, where resources are scarce and a mistake could mean your customer doesn’t get elected next cycle. You’ll map out their problems, adjust plans on the fly, and ship fast. You’ll learn to be relentlessly resourceful, leveraging the EffiGov platform, off the shelf technologies, and your own hacking abilities to solve customer problems.

Job Responsibility:

  • Own delivery across multiple government deployments, from first prototype to stable production
  • Deeply embed with customers to configure EffiGov for their pain points
  • Prototype and build full-stack systems using Python, TypeScript, and other technologies
  • Guide customers on maximizing usage and operational value from their applications
  • Cultivate relationships with customer leadership and stakeholders, pushing through organizational obstacles that technology alone can’t fix
  • Codify working patterns into scripts, runbooks, and modules others can use
  • Ship code directly into our platform when necessary
  • Share on-site feedback with the product team to guide future development

Requirements:

  • Comfortable with rapid iteration cycles while maintaining a high quality bar
  • Able to communicate complex ideas clearly
  • Highly empathetic
  • Excited by the entire loop of 1) talking to users, 2) drilling down into their exact problems, 3) building the best solution to solve it, and 4) iterating based on their feedback
  • Experienced with LLMs (voice AI nice to have), through projects, internships, or full-time roles
  • A graduate from or in the final semester of a quantitative degree program (CS, math, statistics, physics, engineering) - minor OK if you have technical internship experience

Nice to have:

  • Hackathon wins
  • personal projects with real users
  • humanities minor or double major
  • published written work
  • policy or government experience
