About FSH
FSH Tech builds modern software that just works for the public sector. When we deliver, taxpayer dollars go further, agencies move faster, and millions of Americans get tangibly better service and quality of life. Local governments, schools, libraries, and emergency services run on brittle software that was built decades ago. This results in wasted budgets, broken workflows, and bad outcomes for the public. We believe that the institutions closest to people's daily lives deserve products as good as anything in the private sector. We're building them. We're a small, high-agency team. The people who do their best work here are:
Relentlessly optimistic in creating a better world now
Driven to maximize societal impact
Brilliant and creative
About FSH Engineering
Our ideal candidate is an expert in their craft. They gain energy from understanding how their chosen tools work, and have used their tools to build software many times. Our ideal candidate is obsessively curious, motivated by customer outcomes, and is a technical artist. We use Python, Postgres, Unix, TypeScript and React to build software. We maintain a set of internal tools to deterministically generate Python and Typescript. We obsess over how to build compounding advantages in tooling, software, and product.
About the Role
We want to work with people who love to learn and do so quickly! Much of an engineer's job involves learning by doing, and this is our pathway for those with less experience to do just that. Our work balances the deeply technical with the fundamentally human; we switch from technical architecture to design critique to product construction quickly. You will be paired with a senior engineer who focuses on mentorship — they will help you set goals, increase the ambiguity, scope and ownership when you succeed, and pair with you often when you don't. There is no predefined destination for this role and we don't believe in having others do work we wouldn't do ourselves (e.g. this isn't a cover for 'you will simply respond to tickets'). We want to help you ship customer value and will continue to enable you to do so.
