What you'll do
- Build and own the AI agents our team relies on end-to-end, from prototype to production, processing legislation, regulations, and government filings into actionable work product

What you need
- We need an autonomous, fast-moving engineer with experience building and shipping LLM-powered products and agents who is comfortable working across the full stack and the modern AI toolchain. You should be a power user of Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor, have a track record of taking products from prototype to production, and thrive in a high-ambiguity, high-ownership environment. Bonus points if you have genuine curiosity about government, policy, or regulated industries.
