**Civera** is an early-stage SaaS startup in that’s on a mission to make
government more transparent and accountable. We love what we do, we have fun
doing it, and we’re looking for new talent to play a leading role on our
technology stack.
Our ground-breaking software has the potential to become the nation’s most
popular tool for citizens to find election results and understand money in
politics, and for government agencies to revolutionize the way they serve
public requests for this vital information. Our tool is already launched or in
progress in nine US states and is poised to conquer other state, county, and
municipal governments, and other countries -- but we need your help.
You are a mid-career or senior software engineer with at least 3 years of
full-time experience in building React web applications, including familiarity
with multiple frameworks, strong programming fundamentals, and typical web
application development and deployment processes. We are looking for a React
Engineer who is capable of working on multiple projects at once and seeing
them all through to completion, and a self-starter who is able to work through
any obstacles to get the job done. A passion for our mission of serving the
public through better government transparency is highly recommended.
