Work with senior engineers to design, build, and deploy full-stack solutions for public sector clients, focusing on secure identity solutions.
About SpruceID
SpruceID builds privacy-preserving, standards-based digital identity and credentialing solutions that give individuals control of their information while enabling governments and enterprises to deliver secure, interoperable services. We partner with public-sector organizations to modernize how identity is issued, verified, and used.
The Opportunity
We're looking for multiple Full-Stack Engineers to join our forward-deployed engineering team. You'll work alongside experienced engineers and directly with state governments, public sector partners, and enterprise clients to help design, build, and deploy impactful identity solutions.
This is an ideal role for a recent graduate who wants to grow quickly while working on technology that matters. You'll gain hands-on experience across the full stack, learn from senior engineers, and contribute to systems that serve millions of people.
This is a fully remote role open to candidates based in the United States.
What You'll Do
- Collaborate with customer delivery leads, engineers, and UX designers on real-world deployments.
- Build full-stack features for state governments and public sector partners, with guidance from senior engineers.
- Learn to translate customer requirements into technical solutions and production-ready systems.
- Develop backend services and web applications that meet public sector security, privacy, and accessibility standards.
- Contribute to codebases spanning backend, mobile, and browser environments.
- Participate in customer deployments and learn the full lifecycle of software delivery.
- Engage with open identity standards and privacy-focused engineering practices.
Our Commitment to Your Growth
We believe in investing in early-career engineers. As a new grad at SpruceID, you'll receive:
- Dedicated mentorship from senior engineers who will guide your technical development.
- Structured onboarding to get you up to speed on our stack, our standards, and our customers.
- Regular 1:1s and feedback to help you set and achieve career goals.
- Opportunities to own projects as you grow, with appropriate support and guardrails.
- Exposure to the full product lifecycle—from customer discovery to production deployment.
We're not looking for someone who already knows everything. We're looking for someone eager to learn, humble enough to ask questions, and motivated to do meaningful work.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (recent graduates welcome).
- Foundational experience with backend development in a statically typed language (Rust, Go, C#, Java, or similar)—coursework, internships, or personal projects count.
- Demonstrated ability to learn quickly and work collaboratively.
- Strong communication skills and genuine interest in working with customers and stakeholders.
- Appreciation for open-source software, clean code, and thoughtful engineering.
- Based in the U.S. (or willing to relocate without visa assistance - TN are ok) and excited to contribute to impactful public sector work.
Nice to Have
- Internship or project experience in full-stack development.
- Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) through coursework or side projects.
- Interest in digital identity, cryptography, data privacy, or security.
- Familiarity with modern web frontends (React, TypeScript, or similar).
- Familiarity with databases (PostgreSQL), APIs (REST or GraphQL), or CI/CD concepts.
- Contributions to open-source projects or hackathon participation.
- Coursework or interest in accessibility, usability, or inclusive design.
- Any exposure to government technology, civic tech, or high-compliance environments.
