About the role

  • You're here to move fast, make real calls, and ship things that matter.
  • You'll be one of a small number of engineers working directly on the highest-leverage features on our platform - intelligent intake flows, AI-powered case routing, constituent-facing portals that replace decade-old government interfaces.
  • You'll engage directly with federal agency stakeholders.

Responsibilities

  • Kaizen exists to strengthen trust in American public services by building technology that residents and public servants are proud to use.
  • We partner with local, state, and federal agencies to replace legacy systems with modern, AI-native software that is worthy of the people they serve.
  • We started in outdoor recreation, and now we're building toward something much larger - the software layer that powers how Americans access any government service.
  • build technology that touches the lives of 100 million residents by the end of the year.
  • We're builders, designers, and operators who believe that beautifully designed software shouldn't be a luxury in government.
  • Full-stack features from zero to shipped - scoping, architecture, build, iteration
  • You're not here to implement Figma specs, collect your JIRA points, and wait for the next sprint planning.
  • You've touched federal, state, or local government tech - or you understand the constraints of building for regulated, high-stakes environments
  • Exposure to design systems and component libraries - you know the difference between a component that's functional and one that's right
  • Fertility and family-building support through Carrot.

Skills

  • Cloud deployment experience (AWS, Vercel, GitHub Actions, ECS/Fargate)

Benefits

  • 100% coverage across the board: medical through Oxford/United (Gold and Platinum PPO plans), dental through Guardian PPO, and vision through Beam - all fully covered for employees, with 100% coverage for dependents.
  • $100,000 in fully paid life insurance.
  • FSA and Dependent Care FSA.
  • One Medical membership, on us - same-day primary care, 24/7 virtual visits, and offices all over the city.
  • 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave for birthing parents.
  • Unlimited PTO, with a two-week minimum (we mean it when we say take time off!)
  • $50/month commuter benefit (company contribution).
  • Fully covered gym membership at Grindhouse https://grindhousemhttn.com/ - right across the street from our office at 47 W 17th St (and in Williamsburg).
  • $100/month utility stipend.
  • $300/quarter pet care stipend.
  • Up to $750 one-time home office or desk setup stipend for NYC-based employees. $500 for remote employees.

Company info

  • Our platform reaches 55 million Americans across 50+ agencies.
  • Founded in 2022 and based in New York City, Kaizen has raised $35 million from NEA, a16z, Accel, 776, and Carpenter Capital.
  • We're looking for a Product Engineer who is obsessed with what AI can do right now - not theoretically, not eventually - and wants to build systems that millions of Americans actually use.
