Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. GovPilot is a technology company that provides software solutions for local governments and regulatory agencies. They are seeking an AI Engineer to innovate how software is built using AI, focusing on developing new workflows and systems that enhance safety and quality while leveraging AI capabilities.
Responsibilities
- Build and ship features across the GovPilot, SDL, and Hedgerow codebases, picking up new languages and frameworks as the work demands
- Design and build systems and workflows that let AI agents work at scale without sacrificing safety or quality
- Run your own email, calendar, and task management with a high degree of autonomy. No one is going to hand you a step-by-step plan
- Propose and pilot new ways of working that go beyond standard agile or sprint-based development
- Set up guardrails, evals, and review processes so AI-generated work can be trusted and shipped quickly
- Partner with engineering leadership to figure out what our development lifecycle should look like a year from now, and start building toward it now
Skills
- Deep hands-on experience with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or similar) as a daily driver, not an occasional assist
- Comfort moving across programming languages and stacks without needing ramp-up time
- A track record of working with minimal oversight: you set your own priorities and follow through
- Strong instincts for what can and can't be trusted to run autonomously, and the judgment to build guardrails around it
- Genuine curiosity about how AI changes software development, not just as a productivity boost but as a different way of working
- You must reside in and be authorized to work in the United States
- Experience designing or running agentic workflows in production, not just prototypes
- A history of building or proposing new team processes, not just following the ones you were given
- Experience across both legacy and modern systems
- A public track record (blog, open source, talks) of thinking seriously about AI engineering
Benefits
- Competitive salary
- Unlimited PTO
- Flexible hours and remote work
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
- Professional development budget
- Home office and IT budget
- Real autonomy and high-impact work
