Software Engineer - Implementation

At Just Appraised, we’re replacing outdated, manual local government workflows with modern software used by hundreds of government agencies across the United States. Our cutting-edge, AI-powered software, which leverages Natural Language Processing (NLP), replaces manual data entry to eliminate delays, backlogs, and errors. This work directly impacts how communities fund schools, infrastructure, and public services. **About the Role** We’re hiring a Software Engineer - Implementation to design and deliver the technical integrations that make this platform work in the real world. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, infrastructure, and real-world customer systems. You’ll own technical implementations end-to-end—from discovery and system analysis through deployment and production reliability. If you enjoy reverse-engineering systems, building integrations, and solving messy real-world technical problems, you’ll thrive here. **What You Will Work On** Examples of problems our implementation engineers tackle: * Integrating with heterogeneous government databases and legacy systems * Reverse-engineering APIs and data structures with limited documentation * Designing scalable pipelines to ingest and normalize messy property datasets * Automating complex onboarding workflows across multiple customer environments * Building infrastructure that ensures reliability and performance across deployments * Translating real-world operational constraints into robust system architecture **Tech Stack** * Backend: Java * Automation / Scripting: Python, Bash * Data: PostgreSQL, SQL * Infrastructure: AWS, Docker, Terraform * Developer Tools: GitHub, GitHub Actions, Linear, Cursor, CI/CD, automated testing **Your Role** * Software Development: Contribute to and enhance our core Java codebase, emphasizing maintainability and clean design. * Scripting & Automation: Utilize scripting (e.g., Python, Bash) and automation tools (e.g., GitHub Actions) to streamline processes and extend system functionality. * System Integration: Design and implement robust integrations with third-party databases, APIs, and data storage systems. * Customer Infrastructure: Partner with remote customer teams to understand their architecture and design implementation plans that prioritize scale and reliability. * Customer Collaboration: Serve as a trusted technical advisor, translating complex customer needs into tailored, scalable solutions. * Cloud Infrastructure: Work with cloud-based systems (AWS) to deploy, monitor, and scale applications, ensuring high performance, reliability, and security across customer environments. **What We’re Looking For** * 2+ years of professional software development experience, with strong proficiency in at least one backend programming language (e.g., Java, Python, Ruby) * 2+ years of experience working with and optimizing relational databases (e.g., SQL, PostgreSQL). * Experience with cloud services, preferably Amazon Web Services (AWS). * Demonstrated expertise in system architecture, API design, and complex integrations. * Ability to travel to client sites, with an estimated commitment of approximately 10% travel time year over year. * A resourceful problem-solver comfortable diving into unfamiliar customer databases and infrastructure to understand system mechanics. * Curious, self-directed, and energized by learning new technologies. * Customer-centric, driven by the real-world impact of solving meaningful, hands-on problems. * An exceptional communicator who can simplify complex technical concepts for both engineering and non-technical stakeholders. * Most importantly, we look for engineers who: * Enjoy solving real-world technical problems * Take ownership of systems and outcomes * Are curious, resourceful, and pragmatic builders **Benefits** * Competitive compensation and stock equity plan * Comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, vision, and life insurance * Company sponsored pre-tax retirement savings program (401k) * A flexible work environment that supports working from home * Flexible PTO * Parental Leave * Home office stipend
