About the role

Platform Engineer

New York, NY • Full-time • Hybrid (3+ days/week in office)

Due to the nature of our government work, this role is open only to U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (Green Card holders). GovSignals is an equal opportunity employer.

ABOUT GOVSIGNALS

GovSignals is the AI system of work for government contracting. It can take the government longer to buy a capability than an adversary takes to field one, and we exist to close that gap.

We're the only startup managing government contract data with AI in both FedRAMP High and DoW Impact Level 5 environments. Our platform monitors 5,000+ live government data sources, 100,000+ federal and state agencies, and 2,000,000+ government contracts in real time. Our customers range from small contractors to Fortune 500 primes with billions in annual awards, and our government work reaches mission critical contract management. In the past 18 months, we've earned FedRAMP High and IL5 authorizations, joined GSA MAS and the MDA SHIELD IDIQ, and signed some of the biggest names in government contracting.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're hiring multiple platform engineers to form our founding platform team. You'll work directly with the CTO and own the data and deployment infrastructure the rest of the company ships on.

Platform engineers here also work with customers where it counts: our buyers ask hard questions about data, integrations, and security architecture, and engineers who answer them well help close seven-figure deals. The day-to-day is infrastructure, data, and backend.
