GovEagle (YC W23) helps government contractors respond to federal requests for proposals (RFPs) in hours instead of weeks. We use AI to turn existing content, templates, and more into a complete first draft. Our vision is to become the Salesforce for government contractors - one place to identify, respond to, and manage government proposals/awards.

The Role

We’re looking for a talented Senior Software Engineer to own and drive backend/AI development at GovEagle. Reporting to the CTO, you’ll work closely with our designer to optimize backend functionality, including integrations with LLMs. This role offers room for growth into a customer-facing capacity.

What You’re Signing Up For

• Taking ownership of backend development for the GovEagle platform, focusing on both backend and dashboard improvements.
• Building and optimizing core backend functionality with FastAPI, Python, and Celery.
• Building on AI/LLM capabilities into our platform to streamline and enhance proposal processes.
• Ensuring scalable and efficient solutions that contribute to a seamless customer experience.

Who We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of experience in software engineering with proficiency in FastAPI, Python, and Kubernetes.
• Experience with AWS GovCloud or Azure GovCloud is a plus, as is familiarity with secure handling of customer data.
• A strong communicator comfortable working with both technical and non-technical team members.
• An autonomous, self-driven engineer with a passion for tackling complex problems and delivering customer-centered solutions.
• Bonus: Familiarity with AI/LLMs and DevOps is beneficial but not required.

What Success Looks Like

• Delivering features and optimizations that receive positive customer feedback.
• Implementing UI and backend improvements that contribute to GovEagle’s growth and usability.
• Building a high-performing dashboard and backend that supports the needs of our customers and aligns with GovEagle’s goals.
