Yet today, interacting with government services is often frustrating and inefficient. GovWell is building the AI operating system transforming how governments serve communities, starting with local agencies.\nGovWell replaces legacy software for municipalities and counties, empowering public servants to radically streamline public services and cut internal processing time for permits and licenses by up to 95%.\nFounded in 2023, GovWell powers 5,000+ mission-critical processes for agencies in 35+ states serving millions of residents. The company has raised $35M in funding from Insight Partners, Work-Bench, and Bienville Capital, and the team works in person at GovWell HQ in New York City. Read more about our founding story in TechCrunch.\nRole overview\nMillions of Americans don't have reliable access to a laptop or desktop - for a lot of the country, a phone is the only way they'll ever interact with government services. GovWell's mobile presence is still early: real, in the hands of real users, but small enough that most of what it becomes is still being figured out.\nGovWell is hiring a Mobile Engineer to join Zach, who's been building GovWell's mobile foundation, and help take it from early to real scale. You'll work on both sides of mobile at GovWell: giving government staff and field workers a faster, more reliable way to do their jobs, and giving residents a simple, direct way to interact with their local government from their phone.\nThis role reports directly to our CTO and Co-Founder, Ben Cohen.\nWe have a hybrid work culture that combines regular in-person collaboration at our New York City office (3+ days per week) with flexibility to work remotely.\nWhy GovWell?\nA mission that matters: Building AI-powered products to fix outdated government systems isn’t just a technical challenge-it’s a historic opportunity to improve our foundational relationship with government and ensure trillions of tax dollars result in high quality services. WATCH: Mission & Vision with CEO & Co-Founder Troy LeCaire\n\nReal-world impact: GovWell’s product is the system of record for government services that affect millions of Americans. From streamlining permitting for small businesses to accelerating affordable housing development, your work will make an immediate difference.\n\nJoin a startup in hyper-growth: We’ve found product-market fit and are scaling the business very quickly (4X ARR growth in the last year). As an early team member, you’ll learn what it takes to build a successful startup. You’ll work closely with the founders while enjoying exceptional autonomy and ownership over your work.\n\nWhat you’ll do\nBuild the field experience GovWell staff actually want to use - fast, reliable, and built for real conditions, not a scaled-down version of the web product.\n\nMake sure the work doesn't stop just because the signal does. Field staff should never lose progress or have to re-do something because they lost connectivity.\n\nPut permitting and licensing directly in residents' hands - simple enough that checking a permit status or submitting an application feels as easy as anything else on their phone.\n\nHelp define what native mobile craft looks like at GovWell - this is a young product, and the standard you set now is the standard the product grows into.\n\nShape what's next as mobile matures: new workflows, new capabilities, and how the staff and citizen experiences evolve relative to each other.\n\nWho you are\nReal experience shipping production mobile apps on iOS and/or Android.\n\nComfortable owning ambiguous, early-stage decisions on a product that's growing quickly\n\nYou think about speed and friction obsessively - tap counts, load times, and the assumption your user might be standing outside, one-handed, in a hurry.\n\nProduct instincts: you can help decide what to build next and why, not just execute a fully-specified ticket.\n\nYou align closely with our Core Values.\n\nOur tech stack\nNative iOS (Swift, SwiftUI) and Android (Kotlin, Jetpack Compose)\n\nReact, TypeScript, Node.js, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, RedwoodJS, AWS (core platform, for API/backend context)\n\nOpenAI API\n\nCompensation and benefits\nCompensation within the posted salary band will be commensurate with experience. All offers will include:\nCompetitive base salary.\n\nEquity / stock options.\n\nMedical, dental, and vision insurance.\n\n401(k) program.\n\nFlexible PTO.\n\nClick here to meet the engineering team\nBelow: a picture of the entire GovWell team celebrating our Series A with a boat cruise on the Hudson!","description_format":"text","description_chars":4587,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Hybrid work","Stock options","Vision insurance"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Digital Government","Public Administration & Local Government"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-07-31T14:13:22Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":10,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.352,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":77,"expected_fill_days":28,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":300000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/govwell-senior-software-engineer-mobile","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/govwell-senior-software-engineer-mobile.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T11:40:37Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":15322,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":7400},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=7400"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fgovwell-senior-software-engineer-mobile"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fgovwell-senior-software-engineer-mobile"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fgovwell-senior-software-engineer-mobile"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/govwell-senior-software-engineer-mobile\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgovwell-senior-software-engineer-mobile"}]}
