About A1M

A1M Solutions is a woman-owned small business driven by the aspiration to provide value to our customers, employees, partners, and community while remaining aligned to our guiding principles of foundational values, deliberate focus, and empathetic connection.

A1M’s mission is to preserve and improve government healthcare programs that are lifelines for underserved people in the United States, including people in poverty, elderly people, members of ethnic and racial minorities, immigrants, and refugees. We look for projects with nation-wide impact at the intersection of policy, data, and user experience design.

Besides building useful and usable digital services, A1M helps teams improve their agile, user-centered design practices – or helps them get started. Our goal is not just to build sustainable public services, but also to leave our teaming partners and customers more skilled and more confident in the future.

Technology Delivery at A1M

A1M Technology Delivery Practice staff meet client and user needs by planning, building, and maintaining solutions that involve programming and scripting. Our practice includes product managers, software engineers, and data analysts. We analyze government client challenges and identify how best to help the client meet their goals, which may involve custom code, low code, and no code approaches.

Technology Delivery Practice staff work in cross-functional, cross-organizational teams with designers and policy subject matter experts. We approach challenges with flexibility, patience, thoughtful communication, and solid best practices in agile product management and development. We value high-trust teams.

About this Role

As an A1M Senior Software Engineer, you work with minimal guidance to design and implement complex, scalable systems. You collaborate with the team to break down ambiguous or complex goals into concrete, feasible steps that align with and inform wider system strategy. Senior engineers do not always have formal management or lead responsibilities, but an interest in teaching and coaching is essential.

Skills and Responsibilities

Technical capabilities

• Build and maintain complex, scalable systems across application and/or infrastructure layers, and multiple components or services, using languages and frameworks such as TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, and Django.
• Own components or services from development through deployment, monitoring, and production support
• Deploy and manage systems in cloud environments, including AWS services, using CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and infrastructure as code where appropriate.
• Design, build, and integrate APIs and data flows, working with relational databases such as PostgreSQL and cloud-based data services as needed.
• Shape system design and contribute to architectural decisions, including writing decision documents and creating diagrams
• Drive improvements in code quality, automated testing, linting, and development standards using appropriate tools and practices for the stack.
• Contribute to robust DevOps practices, including deployment, monitoring, and incident response
• Mentor engineers, review code and technical designs, and contribute to team growth and technical direction
• Collaborate to break down ambiguous or complex goals into concrete, feasible steps
• Seek out and share new technologies and skills that support project goals
• Participate in discussions with internal and external stakeholders

Universal Categories for all A1M Senior Practitioners

Communication and collaboration

• Build connections and relationships between people, teams/projects, and A1M and clients in ways that prevent and break down silos, enabling new opportunities for improved delivery.
• Get buy-in from relevant parties (teammates, team leads, government stakeholders, etc.) to make sure necessary work happens.
• Proactively recognize risks and conflicts within the team and clients, help identify approaches, and take action – manage up (understanding timing, context and other pressures, etc.) and escalate when appropriate.
• Evaluate your own skills and deliverables and take action based on self-assessment. This might include proactively reaching out to other team members for help upskilling in skill gap areas.

Cross-domain understanding

• Initiate and drive projects that require working with multiple people in other disciplines and practices on challenging problems.
• Coach and mentor people not just within your own practice or discipline, but across practice areas – for example, designers coaching engineers.
• Anticipate and proactively provide information needed by other practices and disciplines.

Government domain acumen

• Proactively identify and respond to government requirements or policy that may impact project work, such as accessibility, PRA, FOIA, acquisition regulations, and security compliance.
• Sufficient government understanding to anticipate needs of government partners and users, and be prepared to speak to them proactively.
• Trusted to represent the company and team to clients, including in challenging situations.

Qualifications

8 years of relevant professional experience.

Your resume or portfolio should demonstrate:

• Ability to write high-quality, tested, maintainable, and reusable code in production software systems
• Advanced proficiency in one or more modern programming languages, with professional experience in technologies relevant to our stack, such as TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, or Go
• Expertise in how to build secure, compliant software and minimize risk of vulnerabilities
• Expertise in one or more adjacent specializations, such as data engineering, DevOps, cloud infrastructure, or application security, and the ability to flex skills as needed
• Capable of operating as a self-starter in ambiguous environments, identifying high-impact work independently and executing on it
• Proven ability to communicate technical results clearly and effectively to diverse stakeholders
• Experience working in government consulting engagements

Preferred:

• Experience building or maintaining production applications using technologies such as Django, PostgreSQL, or AWS services.
• Experience working with a social impact-focused product team or in civic tech

• Personal experience with government health and human services programs
• Working knowledge of Medicare, the ACA, MACRA, Medicaid, or CHIP
• Familiarity with SAFe and agile methodologies
• Experience integrating modern applications with existing systems, APIs, or legacy platforms
• Experience working on large-scale applications and systems

Applicant Requirements

• Our contracts require employees to work from the United States. That includes all 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and all US territories.
• A1M employees must have been residents in the United States for 3 of the past 5 years.
• Due to tax reasons, A1M employees cannot reside in New York state.
• You must already have legal authorization to work within the US and not require ongoing visa sponsorship to maintain legal authorization to work.
• You must be a permanent US resident.
• Because A1M employees have access to government data and systems, new hires will need to complete a Public Trust form.

You will at the very least get asked questions about where you’ve lived, worked, went to school, military history, police records, and substance use. You’ll also need to have your fingerprints taken.
• Our partners primarily work on Eastern Standard Time (EST), and will require flexibility in your hours if you reside outside of EST. We do offer flexibility for non-work-related life responsibilities during the day.
• Active participation in client virtual meetings, including being on camera, is an essential function that helps strengthen trust and open communication. Employees who are unable to meet this expectation due to a disability, medical condition, religious practice, or other protected reason may request reasonable accommodations by contacting People Operations.

Compensation and benefits

This is a fully remote full-time, permanent position. The salary range for this role is $125,000 – $155,000. This range is set by our contracts and reflects the full range for someone in this position over time, so you may not start at the top of the range.

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Life insurance, short-term disability, and optional voluntary benefits
• 401(k) retirement benefits with employer matching
