About GovEagle

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.

About the role
Skills: Next.js, React, TypeScript

The Role

We’re looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to take ownership of the GovEagle user experience. You’ll lead development across our React/Next.js frontend, work closely with our designer to bring new interfaces to life, and shape the workflows that define how customers interact with our platform every day. This role is deeply product-focused, highly visible, and central to how GovEagle continues to scale.

This role is in-person in New York City, 5 days per week, to maximize collaboration and speed.


What You’re Signing Up For

  • Owning the frontend of the GovEagle platform end to end — architecture, components, performance, and polish.
  • Implementing new designs, workflows, and dashboard experiences with React, Typescript, and Next.js.
  • Working closely with our designer to translate product ideas and UI specs into high-quality, production-ready interfaces.
  • Integrating with backend APIs and LLM-powered functionality in collaboration with our backend engineers.
  • Improving UI consistency, responsiveness, accessibility, and maintainability.
  • Contributing to our design system and shaping a scalable component library.
  • While not a DevOps-heavy role, familiarity with Kubernetes, GovCloud environments, or secure deployments is a plus.
  • Experience developing Microsoft Office add-ins (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) or building browser extensions is a strong bonus.

Who We’re Looking For

  • 3+ years of professional frontend engineering experience.
  • Deep expertise in React, Next.js, Typescript, and modern frontend patterns.
  • Strong product sense — you care about user flows, clarity, and experience.
  • Experience partnering with designers and bringing UI/UX specs to life.
  • Comfortable with complex data flows, state management, and backend integrations.
  • Someone who thrives in a fast-paced startup with clear ownership and autonomy.
  • Bonus experience:
    • Microsoft add-ins or browser extensions
    • LLM integrations
    • Secure cloud environments (AWS GovCloud, Azure GovCloud)

What Success Looks Like

  • A polished, intuitive, and reliable frontend that customers love using.
  • Noticeable improvements to dashboard performance, workflows, and usability.
  • A component library and UI system that accelerates product development.
  • Frontend features that directly improve customer adoption and satisfaction.
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration, helping GovEagle deliver high-quality experiences quickly.

Our Stack

  • Next.js + React + Typescript (frontend)
  • FastAPI + Python (backend)
  • Temporal (background jobs)
  • DocumentDB (database)
  • Kubernetes (infrastructure)
  • AWS GovCloud + Azure GovCloud (cloud providers)
