We are seeking a skilled Backend Developer to join the development team. This AI-powered reporting system is designed to assist political subdivisions (such as cities, counties, and state agencies) in automating and streamlining privacy compliance obligations under laws like the Government Data Privacy Act.
The role focuses on building secure, scalable backend infrastructure to handle sensitive data governance, records management, and compliance reporting, ensuring adherence to privacy protections while empowering government entities with intuitive tools.

• Database Expertise: Strong hands-on experience with relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL via AWS RDS) and NoSQL solutions (e.g., MongoDB, DynamoDB). Skills in database design, optimization, indexing, and ORM tools (e.g., SQL Alchemy, Sequelize). Experience with data warehousing for reporting (e.g., Redshift) is a plus.
• AWS Proficiency: In-depth knowledge of AWS services, including EC2, Lambda, S3 for storage, VPC for networking, IAM for access management, and CloudWatch for monitoring. Experience with AWS security tools (e.g., KMS for encryption, GuardDuty) and infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform, Cloud Formation) to ensure compliant, scalable deployments.
• Security and Compliance: Familiarity with data privacy frameworks (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, or Utah-specific laws) and implementing secure coding practices (e.g., OWASP guidelines). Experience with handling sensitive government data is highly desirable.
• Additional Technical Skills: Version control with Git; containerization (Docker, Kubernetes); CI/CD pipelines (e.g., AWS Code Pipeline); and basic understanding of AI/ML integrations (e.g., via SageMaker).
• Soft Skills: Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and the ability to work in a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment. Excellent communication skills for documenting technical decisions and explaining compliance features to non-technical stakeholders.
• Education and Experience: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field (or equivalent experience). Prior work on government, compliance, or SaaS platforms is advantageous.
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with AI-assisted tools or data governance systems.
• Certifications such as AWS Certified Developer, AWS Certified Database Specialist, or Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP).
