Senior Software Engineer

About this role

At Just Appraised, we’re replacing outdated, manual local government workflows with modern software used by hundreds of government agencies across the United States. Our cutting-edge, AI-powered software, which leverages Natural Language Processing (NLP), replaces manual data entry to eliminate delays, backlogs, and errors. This work directly impacts how communities fund schools, infrastructure, and public services.

## About the Role

We’re hiring a Senior Software Engineer to help design and scale the systems behind this platform. You’ll work on a small team with significant ownership over architecture, product direction, and technical decisions. We value engineers who can iterate quickly and care deeply about building high-quality systems.

If you enjoy building real systems, solving messy data problems, and shipping software that directly impacts how society runs, come join our team!

We don't have QA teams, dedicated designers, or product managers. We believe the best software is built by engineers who are empowered to own the entire journey. Here, you aren’t just executing on a spec; you are the architect, the designer, and the guardian of your code. You will scope the solution, build the interface, and support the production systems that keep local governments running. If you thrive in ambiguity and find "hand-offs" more frustrating than fulfilling, you’ll fit right in. If you prefer a neatly defined roadmap and a team to catch bugs before they ship, we’re likely not the right place for you.
