About Us

We're building software to help public servants in county governments save time and money by using AI to streamline processing of real estate sales. This matters because property taxes drive local government revenues and support the services that power society.

You will be responsible for building the front end features that our customers interact with and maintaining a library of reusable and configurable components to enable our customers to construct unique and complex workflows. A successful candidate should be able to own their work from start to finish and make quick, effective decisions in the face of ambiguity in order to be an impactful team player. We value empathy and clear communication in everything we do and expect you to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and provide thoughtful feedback to influence the team in a positive way.

• Contribute to team culture and shape structure as the company grows
• Ask questions and continually strive to improve yourself 
• Think logically and abstractly with a keen attention to detail

• Knowledge of React Testing Library, Redux, Styled Components, or TypeScript
• Knowledge of web accessibility standards
