Save Job

Holly is the first AI‑native govtech startup tackling government compensation. We’re building the platform that helps local governments design and manage their workforces—starting with automated job design and compensation benchmarking.

We serve 20+ clients across 7 states, managing the way 88,000 government employees and their responsibilities are defined across 10,000+ job classifications. We’re backed by $2.2M from leading govtech investors including J2 Ventures and Roble Ventures.

We’re hiring our second engineer to help us keep up with demand as cities and counties look to replace expensive consultants and plan for a modern workforce.

What You’ll Do

Build and maintain enterprise‑grade features across our stack (NextJS, TypeScript, PostgreSQL/Supabase, Tailwind)

Design data pipelines for processing job information from government sources

Support our AI/ML integration efforts and LLM‑powered features

Work closely with founders to translate product requirements into technical solutions

Help shape technical architecture, CI/CD processes, and engineering culture from the ground up

What We’re Looking For

4‑6 years of full‑stack product development experience, ideally with strong backend expertise in data modeling and scalable architectures

Experience with server‑side React/NextJS and TypeScript

Comfort with complex data processing and ETL workflows

Ownership mindset—you drive solutions independently and thrive in early‑stage ambiguity

Genuine excitement about shaping team culture and best practices

What You’ll Get

$160‑180K base salary + 0.25‑0.5% equity

Hybrid work environment (3‑4 days in office)

Direct founder collaboration with ownership over significant technical components

Mission‑driven impact helping local governments serve their communities better
