Senior Software Engineer - Application Developer (JavaScript/TypeScript)

Mighty Acorn Digital is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join their mission of transforming government digital services. Founded in 2023, we specialize in making government programs more accessible and efficient through technology. As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll be instrumental in building NextJS/NestJS applications using TypeScript, working in both frontend and backend capacities. The role demands expertise in React, accessibility standards, and REST API development, with 7+ years of software engineering experience required.

You'll be part of a high-functioning scrum team, contributing to the development of digital services for state government agencies. The position emphasizes independent work in a high-trust environment, where you'll make architectural decisions, influence API design, and ensure comprehensive test coverage. We value transparency, adaptability, and strong communication skills.

The role offers competitive compensation ($120K-$150K) and the flexibility of remote work, though candidates must be based in the contiguous United States. We're particularly interested in candidates who bring experience in infrastructure (especially Terraform on AWS), DevOps principles, or government digital services. Our mission is to redefine "good enough for government work" by delivering fast, reliable, and frustration-free digital services.

This is an excellent opportunity for experienced engineers who want to make a meaningful impact on public sector technology while working with modern tools and practices. We emphasize automation, quality, and user-focused development in all our projects. Join us in transforming how citizens interact with government services through technology.
