About GovPilot

In the United States, nearly 40,000 local governments struggle to manage essential processes using outdated systems. GovPilot is changing that.

Our cloud-based platform empowers local governments to operate with maximum efficiency by standardizing, digitizing, and consolidating more than 125 critical workflows into a unified, integrated system. Built in collaboration with government leaders across the country, GovPilot is the GovTech platform of record —and we're just getting started.

Recognized for 8 consecutive years by GovTech Magazine as a Top 100 GovTech company , GovPilot is a mission-driven, fast-growth SaaS company reimagining how local government works. We’re now building an entirely new product line that will transform civic operations even further—and we’re looking for exceptional technical leaders to help shape it.

The Role

We're seeking a Lead Python Software Engineer to spearhead development of our next-generation platform—a greenfield product with strategic visibility and massive impact.

You’ll lead technical design, mentor engineers, and partner cross-functionally to turn high-level ideas into scalable, secure, and user-friendly systems. This role is ideal for a hands-on technical leader who thrives in ambiguity, loves solving hard problems, and has a track record of bringing 0→1 products to life.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead architecture and technical strategy for a new, cloud-native civic platform built on Python
  • Own end-to-end delivery of major initiatives—from design through deployment, observability, and iteration
  • Guide engineering decisions on stack, system design, API design, infrastructure, and tooling
  • Collaborate with product, design, and leadership to define and drive the product roadmap
  • Write clean, maintainable, and testable code , and ensure best practices are upheld across the team
  • Mentor and support other engineers , fostering a culture of growth, accountability, and technical excellence
  • Champion a customer-first, iterative mindset grounded in rapid learning and continuous improvement

What We’re Looking For

  • 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, with 1–2+ years in a technical lead or staff-level role
  • Strong Python backend expertise with experience across frameworks such as Django, FastAPI, or Flask
  • Demonstrated success in building and scaling greenfield applications
  • Proficiency in cloud-native architectures , CI / CD, and scalable infrastructure (AWS, Docker, Terraform, etc.)
  • Exceptional communication and leadership skills —able to align technical direction with product goals and influence without authority
  • A builder’s mindset : You’re proactive, resourceful, and energized by autonomy and ownership
  • Previous experience at a high-growth startup or in a fast-moving product environment
  • Why Join GovPilot

  • Shape a product that matters , used by governments to improve the lives of millions of people
  • Join a mission-driven team of innovators passionate about civic transformation
  • Work on complex technical challenges in a collaborative, supportive environment
  • Recognized by GovTech Magazine 8 years running as a Top 100 GovTech Company
