高级全栈工程师
Senior Full Stack Engineer
关于我们
Propel 构建技术来加强美国的社会安全网。我们设想一个未来，每个美国人都拥有他们需要的工具和资源来繁荣发展。
安全网的强度不仅取决于资金，还取决于交付方式。Propel 的存在是为了大幅改善政府福利的交付方式。管理 SNAP 福利、选择 D-SNP 计划或防止 EBT 盗用应该像 Apple Pay 或 Netflix 一样无缝。
政府难以构建现代、可扩展的用户体验。我们能做到。
今天有超过 550 万美国人信任 Propel。我们的收入同比增长了 35%，并且正在重新定义整个福利类别，包括医保，围绕低收入美国人的实际需求进行革新。我们正在建立一家高增长、高潜力、可持续的营利性公司，其中影响力驱动收入。
关于职位
我们正在招聘一位高级全栈工程师，希望在有意义的规模上构建消费者产品，并拥有真正的所有权。
这不是一个处理工单的角色。你将跨移动应用、后端系统、内部工具和新产品线工作。你将帮助识别问题、塑造解决方案，并在一个受政策变化、技术演进和现实约束影响的领域中迭代交付。
技术环境正在快速演变，包括 AI 在产品构建方式和用户与技术互动方式中的作用日益增加。我们不会盲目跟风，但我们会期待工程师保持好奇，谨慎实验，并随着世界的变化不断精进自己的技艺。
我们不频繁开会。工程师有重要的专注时间。产品、设计和工程团队秉持共同的价值观，充满好奇心、富有同理心、以用户为中心，这减少了摩擦并加快了执行速度。
对模糊性的舒适度、强大的产品直觉以及行动导向是必不可少的。
你将负责
- 在我们的移动应用（Vue + TypeScript + Capacitor）上构建和交付功能
- 开发可扩展的后端系统（Python, Flask, Postgres, Redis, AWS）
- 参与架构和技术方向的制定
- 与产品和设计紧密合作，规划和执行解决方案
- 将模糊的问题分解为迭代可交付的组件
- 平衡速度与长期可维护性
- 参与值班轮班
- 通过设计评审、代码评审和指导他人做出贡献
你将构建每天被数百万美国人用于获取食物、医疗和财务稳定的系统。
你具备以下条件

ABOUT US
Propel builds technology that strengthens the social safety net in America. We envision a future where every American has the tools and resources they need to thrive.
The 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.
Governments struggle to build modern, scalable user experiences. We don’t.
Over 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.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We’re hiring a Senior Fullstack Engineer who wants to build consumer products at meaningful scale with real ownership.
This 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.
The 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.
We 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.
Comfort with ambiguity, strong product instincts, and a bias toward action are essential.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Build and ship features across our mobile apps (Vue + TypeScript + Capacitor)
- Develop scalable backend systems (Python, Flask, Postgres, Redis, AWS)
- Contribute to architecture and technical direction
- Partner closely with Product and Design to scope and execute solutions
- Break ambiguous problems into iterative, shippable components
- Balance speed with long-term maintainability
- Participate in on-call rotation
- Contribute through design reviews, code reviews, and mentorship
You will build systems used daily by millions of Americans to access food, healthcare, and financial stability.
WHAT YOU HAVE
Experience
- 5+ years building and maintaining complex full-stack systems
- Experience in startup or high-ambiguity environments
- Strong system design and product engineering fundamentals
- Fluency in Python and JavaScript (or willingness to ramp quickly)
- Clear written and verbal communication skills
Mindset
- Ownership: You take responsibility for outcomes
- Product Sense: You focus on solving the right problems
- Grit: You persist through ambiguity and setbacks
- Curiosity: You think from first principles
- Urgency & Accountability: You ask “why not now?”
- Low Ego: You step in where needed
- Strong Judgment: You prioritize effectively
- Iterative Mindset: You ship, learn, and improve
Nice to have:
- Experience building consumer-scale applications
- Familiarity with safety net programs (SNAP, WIC, TANF, SSI, SSDI, Medicaid, Section 8)
WHAT WE OFFER
- Fair, equitable, and competitive salaries. Propel believes that everyone should be compensated fairly and equitably. We set our salary ranges using compensation data from hundreds of NYC based startups at our stage. Additionally, pay is not determined based on location. The salary range for this position is $190,000 - $230,000 depending on experience and interview performance. Equity and excellent benefits come with this position as well!
- 20 Days PTO
- 4% 401K match
- $10k lifetime Carrot Fertility benefit
- Excellent Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage
- Remote-first culture (NYC HQ)
- Monthly co-working stipend outside NYC
MORE ABOUT PROPEL AND OUR ENGINEERING TEAM
Technology is not a support function at Propel - it is the company.
We believe great tech companies:
- Solve user problems first
- Build for scale and iteration
- Invest in quality and infrastructure
- Stay curious about new technologies while exercising strong judgment
We 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.
We’ve backed our mission with action:
- Seeded emergency funds during government shutdowns
- Committed 1% of company equity into a user trust
- Partnered carefully when sunsetting products to protect users
WHY THIS ROLE MIGHT NOT BE FOR YOU
We’re building in the complex intersection of people, policy, and government systems. That work requires strong partnerships and comes with unique challenges.
- We 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.
- Engineers move across product surfaces and problem spaces. This isn’t a narrowly scoped role focused on a single technical domain.
- We’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.
- We ship quickly while holding a high bar for quality and user trust. Balancing speed with thoughtful tradeoffs is part of the job.
- Our roadmap is influenced by legislation, regulatory changes, and evolving government systems. A certain level of external uncertainty is inherent to the space.
- Career growth tends to come through ownership, impact, and stepping into stretch work rather than predefined ladders or timelines.
- Technology evolves quickly, including AI. Staying curious and continuously evolving your craft is part of building a modern tech company.
- We value low-ego teammates who step in to help when something needs fixing, even if it falls outside a traditional lane.
- We 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.
If that energizes you - you’ll likely thrive here.
Additional Considerations:
- We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team, and welcome applicants from all backgrounds and abilities.
- We'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.
- 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).
