We’re hiring a Software Engineer to help enable secure data sharing across our Public Safety platform.
 
In this role, you’ll build data integration services and cloud-native applications that use AWS serverless technology to connect critical workflows across agencies and provide access to distributed data.  You’ll join a highly collaborative team of experienced engineers responsible for supporting key existing applications while modernizing them and delivering new capabilities in a cloud-first ecosystem.
 

Responsibilities

  • Partner with product managers and engineers to design and deliver reliable software that meets user needs and system requirements.
  • Build secure, scalable, and resilient services using modern cloud patterns (e.g., event-driven architecture, serverless, microservices).
  • Write high-quality, well-tested code and contribute to strong CI/CD practices.
  • Participate in design discussions, architecture decisions, and code reviews.
  • Improve operational readiness through observability, logging, monitoring, and performance tuning.
  • Contribute across the full software lifecycle: planning, development, deployment, and ongoing support.
