Full Job Description
Role overview
GovWell is hiring a Full-Stack Software Engineer to help build our core platform that powers faster, more efficient government services. You'll work across the stack - from frontend to backend - to design, build, and ship features that directly improve how governments operate and how residents access services. This role reports directly to our CTO and Co-Founder, Ben Cohen, and offers the opportunity to take ownership of critical product areas in a fast-growing company.
We have a hybrid work culture that combines regular in-person collaboration at our New York City office (3+ days per week) with flexibility to work remotely.
What you'll do
Build, test, and ship full-stack features across GovWell's platform - from intuitive resident-facing interfaces to scalable backend services that power government workflows.
Collaborate closely with the teammates to translate customer needs into usable, high-impact product functionality.
Take ownership of product areas end-to-end, ensuring features are reliable, maintainable, and performant in real-world government environments.
Contribute to technical design discussions, code reviews, and best practices that strengthen the team's engineering culture and velocity.
Use customer feedback and product data to iterate quickly, improving both resident experiences and government efficiency.
Who you are
3+ years of full-stack development experience building applications for enterprises and/or consumers. Strong preference for candidates who have worked in high-growth startup environments.
You are excited about building applications with the latest AI models and leveraging AI to enhance your personal developer workflows.
You have experience owning large product areas + features end-to-end.
You have a strong product mindset: you love to ask questions and deeply understand customer problems.
You'd rather have a challenging adventure than "rest and vest."
You align closely with our Core Values.
