About the role
Kaizen Labs seeks a senior software engineer to shape AI-native features for government-scale applications. You will influence technical direction, mentor teammates, and shepherd end-to-end delivery across platforms used by millions of Americans.
This hybrid role is based in New York or DC with four days on site and requires active TS/SCI clearance. You will partner with federal stakeholders to translate complex requirements into shippable products and ensure reliability at government scale.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
