About the role

We're hiring multiple Product Engineers to expand our product engineering team.
The product is moving fast, and we need an engineer who can move faster.
This is not a role where you sit in sprint planning for half the day and push tickets around a board, wait for detailed specs before writing code, or treat two-week sprints as the definition of fast.

Monitor production metrics, troubleshoot issues in real time, own the reliability of what you ship, and contribute to the platform architecture decisions that define how the product scales.
We're hiring multiple Product Engineers to expand our product engineering team. You'll work directly with the founding team and own entire customer-facing product areas end-to-end - from whiteboard to production.

GovSignals was founded by four cofounders who lived with this problem from both sides - selling to the government and serving inside it - with backgrounds across the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Department of Energy, Palantir, Amazon, federal contractors building for missiles, and state contractors building for prisons.
The engineering team has shipped to defense companies, scaled venture-backed startups, and founded companies of their own.

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.
