We envision a future where every American has the tools and resources they need to thrive.\nThe safety net’s strength depends not just on funding, but delivery. Propel exists to dramatically improve how government benefits are delivered. Managing SNAP benefits, picking a D-SNP plan, or protecting against EBT theft should feel as seamless as Apple Pay or Netflix.\nGovernments struggle to build modern, scalable user experiences. We don’t.\nOver 5.5 million Americans trust Propel today. We’ve grown revenue 35% YoY and are reinventing entire benefit categories, including Medicare, around the real needs of low-income Americans. We’re building a high-growth, high-ceiling, sustainable for-profit company where impact drives revenue.\nAbout the Role\nWe’re hiring a Senior Fullstack Engineer who wants to build consumer products at meaningful scale with real ownership.\nThis is not a ticket-taking role. You’ll work across mobile apps, backend systems, internal tools, and new product lines. You’ll help identify problems, shape solutions, and ship iteratively in a space shaped by policy changes, evolving technology, and real-world constraints.\nThe technology landscape is evolving quickly, including the growing role of AI in how products are built and how users interact with technology. We don’t adopt trends blindly, but we do expect engineers to stay curious, experiment thoughtfully, and continuously evolve their craft as the world changes.\nWe are not meeting-heavy. Engineers have meaningful heads-down time. Product, Design, and Engineering operate with shared values, curious, empathetic, user-first, which reduces friction and accelerates execution.\nComfort with ambiguity, strong product instincts, and a bias toward action are essential.\nWhat You’ll Do\nBuild and ship features across our mobile apps (Vue + TypeScript + Capacitor)\nDevelop scalable backend systems (Python, Flask, Postgres, Redis, AWS)\nContribute to architecture and technical direction\nPartner closely with Product and Design to scope and execute solutions\nBreak ambiguous problems into iterative, shippable components\nBalance speed with long-term maintainability\nParticipate in on-call rotation\nContribute through design reviews, code reviews, and mentorship\nYou will build systems used daily by millions of Americans to access food, healthcare, and financial stability.\nWhat You Have\nExperience\n5+ years building and maintaining complex full-stack systems\nExperience in startup or high-ambiguity environments\nStrong system design and product engineering fundamentals\nFluency in Python and JavaScript (or willingness to ramp quickly)\nClear written and verbal communication skills\nMindset\nOwnership: You take responsibility for outcomes\nProduct Sense: You focus on solving the right problems\nGrit: You persist through ambiguity and setbacks\nCuriosity: You think from first principles\nUrgency & Accountability: You ask “why not now?”\nLow Ego: You step in where needed\nStrong Judgment: You prioritize effectively\nIterative Mindset: You ship, learn, and improve\nNice to have:\nExperience building consumer-scale applications\nFamiliarity with safety net programs (SNAP, WIC, TANF, SSI, SSDI, Medicaid, Section 8)\nWhat We Offer\n$170,000 - $240,000 salary + meaningful equity (Location-independent compensation)\n\n20 Days PTO\n4% 401K match\n$10k lifetime Carrot Fertility benefit\nExcellent Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage\nRemote-first culture (NYC HQ)\nMonthly co-working stipend outside NYC\nWe benchmark compensation around the 75th percentile and want your equity stake to matter long-term.\nMore About Propel and Our Engineering Team\nTechnology is not a support function at Propel - it is the company.\nWe believe great tech companies:\nSolve user problems first\nBuild for scale and iteration\nInvest in quality and infrastructure\nStay curious about new technologies while exercising strong judgment\nWe operate lean and transparently. You’ll understand our revenue drivers and big bets. Millions of users trust us and that responsibility is earned through consistently strong judgment.\nWe’ve backed our mission with action:\nSeeded emergency funds during government shutdowns\nCommitted 1% of company equity into a user trust\nPartnered carefully when sunsetting products to protect users\nWhy This Role Might Not Be For You\nWe’re building in the complex intersection of people, policy, and government systems. That work requires strong partnerships and comes with unique challenges.\nWe operate lean, and priorities can shift as policy, partners, or user needs evolve. Our environment isn’t highly structured with rigid swimlanes or long, predictable planning cycles.\nEngineers move across product surfaces and problem spaces. This isn’t a narrowly scoped role focused on a single technical domain.\nWe’re building in an era where AI is reshaping team boundaries. Engineers here are comfortable contributing to product and design conversations, not just writing code.\nWe ship quickly while holding a high bar for quality and user trust. Balancing speed with thoughtful tradeoffs is part of the job.\nOur roadmap is influenced by legislation, regulatory changes, and evolving government systems. A certain level of external uncertainty is inherent to the space.\nCareer growth tends to come through ownership, impact, and stepping into stretch work rather than predefined ladders or timelines.\nTechnology evolves quickly, including AI. Staying curious and continuously evolving your craft is part of building a modern tech company.\nWe value low-ego teammates who step in to help when something needs fixing, even if it falls outside a traditional lane.\nWe are building a category-defining company in a complex space. That requires resilience, urgency, strong judgment, and a genuine desire to serve our users well.\nIf that energizes you - you’ll likely thrive here.\nAdditional Considerations:\nWe are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team, and welcome applicants from all backgrounds and abilities.\nWe're currently accepting applications from the states we have an established entity in, which includes California, Colorado, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Washington.\n Background Check Requirement: For roles with access to confidential employee or customer information, a background check may be conducted following a conditional offer. All background checks are handled in accordance with applicable laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).\nLearn more about our impact from the press\nFintech Company Propel Announces $10 Million Fund For Food Stamp\nLate Show With Stephen Colbert\nHow to Propel the Fight Against Poverty in America\nHow Tech is Helping Poor People Get Government Aid\nHow one tech startup is giving cash to SNAP recipients\nRecipients Affected By Government Shutdown\nHow hunger relief groups say you can help feed your neighbors during the shutdown and beyond\nJoin us, and let's build something amazing together!","description_format":"text","description_chars":7110,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":true,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan","Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-16T23:32:55Z"},{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T12:23:41Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":6,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":0.4,"p_active":0.423,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":64,"expected_fill_days":35,"reasons":["seen:64","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-15T05:46:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":240000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/vuejobs-senior-full-stack-engineer-7","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/vuejobs-senior-full-stack-engineer-7.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T03:55:25Z","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":581,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-17T00:00:00Z"}},"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":41094},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=41094"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fvuejobs-senior-full-stack-engineer-7"},{"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%2Fvuejobs-senior-full-stack-engineer-7"},{"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%2Fvuejobs-senior-full-stack-engineer-7"},{"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/vuejobs-senior-full-stack-engineer-7\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fvuejobs-senior-full-stack-engineer-7"}]}
