About this role

# Senior Software Engineer – Focus Digital

Focus Digital is hiring Software Engineers to work on projects that make a real difference in how people interact with government services. We're currently staffing for our Online Passport Renewal and Minnesota Paid Family Leave projects.

About Focus

Focus is a digital services firm dedicated to delivering on projects with impact in the civic tech space. We transform outdated government systems into modern, efficient solutions that deliver better outcomes for citizens.

Our team partners with federal and state agencies to modernize systems and improve user experiences. We've worked with agencies such as the Department of State, IRS and Grants.gov to streamline workflows and enhance accessibility. As a growing team, we're always looking for talented professionals who want to help shape the future of government digital services.

At Focus Digital, we believe in doing impactful work while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. We encourage our team to log off at the end of the day, take time off when needed, and bring their best selves to work.

We're also intentional about staying on the cutting edge of our tooling and practices — from our development environments to how we bake AI into our day-to-day workflows. We want our engineers spending their time on hard problems, not fighting their tools.

We are a fully remote company, and all employees must be based in the continental U.S. Some projects may require occasional travel, approximately 1-2 times per year.
