About The Position

We are hiring a Senior Product Engineer to join our team of 8 engineers. As an early member of our engineering team, we need someone who is product-minded, driven, and comfortable working across the stack. Your immediate focus will be building the best agentic AI experience for government procurement. We believe AI agents will fundamentally change how government buyers and contractors work, and we are building that product. You will work closely with the CTO to define and ship this vision. Govly’s primary app runs on Ruby/Rails, TypeScript/React, Postgres, Redis, and Elasticsearch. We use Claude Code and MCPs heavily in our development process. This role will start as an individual contributor with end-to-end ownership. Team growth will be driven by results and business needs, not assumed on day one.
