Hello everyone!
We’re looking for a Senior Java Engineer to help create innovative solutions for companies selling to Gov & Education institutions. You’ll work on building Java applications from scratch to support public procurement processes, collaborating with teams to develop scalable, efficient systems. The company is well-funded and led by a CEO with a successful exit history.
What are we doing?
Our mission is to build the bridge connecting businesses with government & educational buyers. We all see in our day-to-day lives how state and local governments spend money inefficiently. Critical areas like education, homelessness, and infrastructure hinge on the effectiveness of both state and local governments.
We believe the root cause of bad spending is that it is incredibly challenging for private businesses, especially those without extensive government contracting experience, to partner with state & local governments on solving societal challenges.
Also, we are partnering with individuals who have disabilities and their families to achieve success in education, employment, and healthy living. Together we transform communities to include everyone!
