Platform Engineer
Concourse, New York City
About the job
Why this role
Concourse is building the operating system for State and Local governments. Our platform is a configurable approach to tackling fragmented government data and workflows and turning them into smooth operations for public servants and the constituents they serve. As a Concourse Platform Engineer, you're not building a marginal feature for one product. You're contributing to the infrastructure that scales to our hundreds of products serving millions of Americans.
You own the foundational layer: the data ingestion pipelines, AI workflow orchestration engine, and configurable primitives that support everything above them. Your role is to empower our Forward-Deployed PMs who sit alongside city and county teams, understand their specific workflows, and assemble each agency's solution. A bail management system for a county courthouse. IT Helpdesk for a school district. A water utility operations dashboard. An ERP for a mid-sized city. The FDPMs build those. Your job is to make sure they can.
You're working on the deep infrastructure questions that make every deployment possible: how to reliably ingest data from a 30-year-old mainframe, how to run multi-step AI workflows that government users can audit and trust, how to expose primitives flexible enough to model any government process but constrained enough that non-engineers can build on them.
