job_description.job_card.job_descriptionElected officials are our customers. If you’re the mayor of Boise and want to implement Abundance, you should be able to “phone a friend” and instantly access the playbooks, process knowledge, and partners you need. You’ll build the software to make that possible. Tech as leverage. LLMs, modern SaaS, and smart product design can massively accelerate how civic leaders plug into expertise, donor networks, and partners. The missing piece. We have political operators, donor networks, and growing chapters. We have design and PM leadership. Now we need you—the technical lead to bring our first product features to life and scale them nationally. Ship the first features. Take early product prototypes (already in dev) and lead them through launch in the coming weeks. Define the stack. Own the technical direction, and set up scalable, modern infrastructure. Forward-deployed engineering. Work closely with elected officials, customer success, and the product team to understand how mayors, donors, and partners actually operate, then translate that into tools. Build process knowledge. Help codify and document the “step-by-step” pathways to policy wins, turning them into usable software for leaders nationwide. Maximize impact. Focus on speed, scale, and deliberate ambition—building what helps people now, and iterating fast. Mission-driven : Energized by Abundance’s vision of building a durable political faction and empowering local government. You want your work to matter. Builder : Thrive on getting from zero to one—shipping products quickly, obsessing over users, and iterating fast. Full-stack capable : Comfortable moving across frontend (React / Typescript), backend (Python), and cloud infra. Resourceful & outcome-oriented : Pragmatic about “buy vs. build,” adept at leveraging open source, volunteers, and modern AI. You care more about impact than polishing non-essentials. Collaborative : Excited to work with a cross-functional mix of startup operators and seasoned political leaders who get stuff done. Experienced : 5+ years of software engineering experience. You don’t need to be deeply senior; what matters is ambition, urgency, and the ability to scale product quickly. Experience in civic tech, political campaigns, or government systems. Background in early-stage startups or as a founding engineer. Strong product and UX instincts. Curiosity about using AI / LLMs in practical civic contexts. A founding seat at the table : shape the culture and direction of Abundance’s tech team. The chance to scale a political movement with durable, national impact. Competitive salary. Hybrid culture with flexibility for exceptional candidates elsewhere.
Position : Hybrid in San Francisco Salary range : $150K—$250K Application Link
About Us
Abundance Network is building a new generation of civic leaders and the technology to support them. We’ve organized 120+ elected officials in 30+ states, 100+ donors, and staffed chapters in San Francisco, Santa Monica, Oakland, Burlington, and Seattle —with new national programs scaling quickly. Our mission is to organize civic leaders to build a 21st-century government. We are focused on “policy outcomes that exist in reality” in housing, transportation, energy, and state capacity.
We are building Abundance from the ground up, helping elected officials deliver policy outcomes and connecting them with donors, academics, and professionals who can accelerate progress. Our “unit of success” isn’t revenue—it’s policy outcomes. We’re now looking for a Founding Software Engineer to build the core technology that makes this scalable.

Nice to Have
The Team
We’re a 20-person org, about half focused on national programs, half on local chapters. Roughly a quarter of us come from startups / tech, and the rest are skilled political operators who know how to deliver real outcomes. We’ve built trust with elected officials and donors over years—and now we’re forming our first product squad. You’ll join a tight team with design, PM, and operations already in place, and take point as the lead engineer.
