Responsibilities
Ship features that surface what matters
You'll build web application functionality in Python/FastAPI and React/Next.js—but the work goes beyond code. PolicyNote's value is in helping users cut through massive volumes of government data to find what's relevant. You'll contribute to intelligent search and discovery experiences that don't just return results, but surface context and significance
Work across a high-volume data pipeline
From ingestion and scraping through ML-powered enrichment to search indexing, our platform processes government data at scale. You'll help validate, optimize, and extend this infrastructure—strengthening the foundation that makes everything else possible
Integrate and apply Generative AI
You'll work hands-on with LLMs and GenAI technologies to enhance how users interact with policy information—whether that's summarization, semantic search, or surfacing connections to create valuable insights for our customers
Connect systems across our product suite
PolicyNote is part of a broader ecosystem of services. You'll find integration opportunities, build shared capabilities, and help us deliver a cohesive end-to-end experience for customers navigating the policy landscape
Collaborate across disciplines
You'll partner closely with Product, Design, QA, Data Engineering, and Customer Success to understand user needs and translate them into production-ready solutions. When support requests come in, you'll help troubleshoot and resolve issues with the same care you bring to new development
Own outcomes, not just tickets
We value engineers who think beyond their immediate task—understanding the user problem, considering edge cases, and advocating for the best solution even when it's not the one people asked for
