Responsibilities will include, but not limited to: - Design, build, and ship applications from concept to launch. Own meaningful components of the product end-to-end or focus on specific components (frontend, backend, mobile, or data pipelines) as needed. - Move quickly through rapid prototyping, MVP iteration, pilot, and public launch, making pragmatic tradeoffs between scope, quality, and timing. - Build integrations with government data sources, including modern APIs, flat-file feeds, open data portals, and older legacy systems that may require creative solutions. - Partners with product managers, designers, engineers, and other OTI employees on day-to-day product decisions, participate in user research and design reviews, and contribute to scoping and prioritization. - Coordinate with the wider OTI team on hosting, performance testing, accessibility audits, and security reviews so that products meet the city's quality and production standards. - Work directly with agency staff, policy advisors, and legal counsel to translate complex eligibility rules and regulations into clear, accurate product logic. - Write clear technical documentation, runbooks, and architecture notes so that products can be maintained and extended after launch. - Contribute to reusable patterns, components, and infrastructure that make the next quarter's project faster to ship than the last one. - Help shape the engineering culture of a small, mission-driven team, including code review, mentorship, and onboarding for future hires. - Perform special projects and initiatives as assigned. HOURS/SHIFT Day - Due to the necessary technical duties of this position in a 24/7 operation, candidate may be required to work various shifts such as weekends and/or nights/evenings.
