About PublicInput

next evolution of democratic government, collaborative democracy. We provide an

operating system for public organizations to collect input, understand it, and

effectively communicate with residents and stakeholders.

Our Culture

We believe work should have meaning and amount to more than a paycheck. For

that reason, we seek out colleagues who share our values and find intrinsic

motivation in doing their best work on a team that is contributing to something

bigger than ourselves.

Achieving at a high level means this team is not right for everyone. This is not a 9-5,

check-the-box place. You will be challenged and there will be setbacks, but

together, we will overcome them and celebrate our achievements along the way.

We treat community concerns and emergent issues seriously. We love to learn and

strive to be helpful in sharing best practices and innovation without judgment or

pretension.

About The Role & You

PublicInput is seeking a Senior Software Engineer experienced with the .NET MVC

framework and a track record of delivering SaaS solutions as a strong contributor on an agile

team. This role requires a deep understanding of web technologies, excellent problem-

solving skills, and leadership abilities.

You will be a go-to team member for improving existing interfaces and adding new

functionalities using the MVC stack, as well as backend technologies like MSSQL.

You are passionate about helping your team achieve their potential, and you live for the

challenges that come with managing and mentoring a team. You operate at the strategic

level while rolling up your sleeves to get the work done right. You feel most at home in an

innovative and fast-paced environment and make decisions with one foot in the data and

the other in your intuition.

You're a master in crafting and monitoring performance indicators to evaluate the

effectiveness of your team's effort, but at the same time your emotional intelligence allows

you to solve the issues that data can't answer.

You work with integrity, commitment, and respect for everyone you encounter, and are

ready to roll up your sleeves and play a pivotal role in this next chapter for PublicInput.

What You Will Do

Implement best practices

You'll take pride in writing production code quickly, testing what you build, and regularly

writing unit tests to maintain code quality. You'll focus on quickly learning the pieces you

need to make incremental improvements - while recognizing when a refactor is

unavoidable. You'll apply cognitive flexibility in selectively applying concepts and personal

knowledge in the proper context and bring creative approaches to development.

Deliver value by understanding need

You're a technologist, but also a human being. You'll embrace conversations with

stakeholders like customer account managers, support specialists, and real users to

understand needs. You'll ask hard questions and challenge assumptions to ensure that

we're solving the right problems.
