Product Engineer at Infilla
Join a mission-driven founding team of 12 in San Francisco to solve the housing crisis at its root. This early-career Product Engineer role gives you the unique opportunity to rebuild how state and local governments issue permits, moving them from paper-based weeks to digital minutes. You'll work across the full TypeScript stack, collaborating directly with agencies like the San Francisco Planning Department to ship high-impact features. If you're an early-career dev who wants to own product decisions and see your work literally help build more housing, this is the perfect founding-stage environment for you.

Role overview
About the company
Infilla
GovTech12 employees
Infilla is a San Francisco-based GovTech company on a mission to help more housing get built by modernizing how government agencies handle permitting. We build cloud-based software that replaces outdated, manual processes with something that actually works — for the agencies running it and the residents and businesses waiting on it. We're an early-stage team doing work with real stakes: the kind where what you ship actually changes how government functions.
What you'll do
What you will do
- Build and ship full-stack features end-to-end using TypeScript, React, Remix, Node.js, Prisma, Postgres, and AWS.
- Engage directly with government agency end-users to gather feedback, understand complex workflows, and translate them into digital solutions.
- Participate in product strategy and architectural decisions, moving beyond ticket execution to solve ambiguous, founding-stage engineering challenges.
Who you are
Who this is a fit for
- Early-career engineer with strong foundations in TypeScript and modern web frameworks like React or Node.js.
- Demonstrated ability to thrive in high-stakes, ambiguous environments where you need to manage your own projects and prioritize user needs.
- Passionate about urbanism, public infrastructure, or civic tech, with a desire to see code translate into real-world physical housing improvements.
Why this role
Why this role is remarkable
- Work on a mission with tangible real-world impact: making housing happen faster by rebuilding archaic government paper-based systems.
- High-visibility traction with flagship customers including the San Francisco Planning Department and the State of Delaware already onboarded.
- Exceptional mentorship within a small, ~12-person founding team where junior engineers have high ownership and direct influence on the product roadmap.
