Description
About The Position
Our mission is to connect the people of the world to their governments, and as a member of our engineering team, you will be part of a high-velocity group of engineers guiding the trajectory of our flagship web application. You’ll be working on the full stack by creating delightful front-end user experiences and improving upon existing and building new backend functionality and internal APIs. You will be coding using primarily modern, server-side Python (FastAPI) and ES6 Javascript (React and Next.js) in addition to a healthy smattering of other web technologies for file storage, asynchronous job handling, and security. You will also be working with the latest Generative AI and LLM technologies as we add AI-based capabilities to our core products. This position supports the delivery of projects end-to-end under the guidance and support of experienced team members. 
 
About The Team
Our team is driven to connect the people of the world to their governments. You will get the opportunity to work at a late-stage startup pushing the boundaries of open data transparency while collaborating with some of the industry’s brightest engineers, data scientists, designers, and product professionals to devise, nurture, and implement solutions to address continuously evolving and increasing client expectations and demands.
 
About You
Driven. Bold. Thoughtful. You look forward to growing your web-native tech chops and learning from more experienced team members. You’re even more excited to share your skills and experiences and you thrive in collaborative environments in which continuously evolving and increasing client demands serve as the catalyst for bold results.

What To Expect In This Position:

  • Contribute to a high-compute and volume data pipeline. FiscalNote is massively data-driven. We have teams working across our data pipeline from ingestion/scraping to data engineering/ML to search before it is made available to our users. Managing this dataflow and finding ways to validate our data and optimize it is essential to our success.
  • Integrate data/functionality across multiple software solutions. FiscalNote is a part of a broader suite of software services and offerings, each with its own market, but all aligned towards our broader vision. Deeply integrating our products, finding synergies and opportunities across multiple existing solutions, and building out new global services will solidify our positioning as an end-to-end offering.
  • Push the limits of what it means to search. The kind of information our clients need and want access to, what is and isn’t important, is constantly evolving. Not only do they want more, they also want better. We need to be able to tell our customers more than “here is what you’re looking for” – we also want to be able to say “and this is why it matters.”
  • Build web application functionality in Python/FastAPI and React/Next.js.
  • Work with and integrate the latest Generative AI and LLM technologies.
  • Work across teams to ensure cohesion and collaboration across R&D functions (Engineering, Product, QA, Data, etc.)
  • Create experiences for demanding end users by applying your knowledge to deliver a world-class user experience
  • Respond to QA, client success, and customer support requests to provide excellent customer service

What Sets You Apart:

  • Demonstrated ability to write code and solve problems through software
  • 2+ years of applied experience or equivalent in the software development industry using a modern tech stack (we use Python/FastAPI, React/Next.js,, etc.)
  • Working knowledge of production and Cloud environments (we use AWS, Linux/Unix, Bash, nginx, etc.)
  • Familiarity with common storage implementations (we use Mongo primarily, but also connect to Postgres, Elasticsearch, Redis, etc.)
  • Familiarity with Generative AI and LLM technologies and concepts
  • Technically curious, eager to learn, willing, and interested in trying new technologies
Excited about this role, but don't meet 100% of the expected qualifications listed above? We'd still love for you to apply! FiscalNote is committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce where unique experiences are valued and everyone has the opportunity to contribute.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
