Sr. Software Engineer AI-Native Product Builder | Remote (US)

Our 10-Year Target: By 2036 SafeGenerations will be the intelligence layer for human-centered systems. Our Core Focus: Renewing hope and transforming relationships by co-creating and using technology, tools, and processes that discover and multiply the wisdom of helping professionals, families, and children. Position Details • Status: Full-time, Exempt, At-will employment • Location: Remote, with ~monthly travel to Minneapolis (preferred) or Denver • Compensation: Competitive base salary depending on qualifications • Bonus: Eligible for quarterly performance bonus • Equity: Stock options subject to vesting schedule and Board approval • Benefits: Health insurance, PTO, federal holidays, technology stipend, home office setup The Opportunity Human services professionals face an impossible equation: 54% annual turnover, 72% of time consumed by documentation instead of families, critical information scattered across 30+ fragmented systems, and life-changing decisions made under extreme pressure with incomplete information. Behind every statistic is a child's future, a family's hope, a worker's calling to help—all at risk. We started SafeGenerations because we believe technology should multiply the wisdom of helping professionals, not bury them in compliance checkboxes. We're building the platform that integrates organizational learning into human services daily interactions—capturing professional reasoning, surfacing patterns across millions of entries, and transforming how agencies understand themselves. Our engineering team is small and fast. The CTO brings decades of experience leading technical and strategic teams with strong architectural vision, amplified by AI-assisted development. We have a small engineering team with deep institutional knowledge. We need someone who can be a genuine thought partner on product and architecture—someone who can take a vision document and help turn it into reality through iterative collaboration. How We Work Our work style reflects our values. Here's what you can expect: Certainly Curious — We explore problems together before jumping to solutions. You might get a 50-page PRD—not as a rigid spec to follow line-by-line, but as an expression of vision and ideas to wrestle with together. We sketch, prototype, get feedback, and refine. We value good questions as much as good answers. Distinctively Collaborative — E pluribus unum: we're distinctly together, brilliantly co-creative. Each person brings unique wiring—different ways of seeing, thinking, and solving—and we're collectively brilliant because of it. Regular standups keep us aligned. Pairing sessions help us learn from each other. Teams conversations surface ideas in real-time. The best solutions emerge from genuine dialogue, not handoffs between silos. Humbly Bold — We use Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and AI-assisted workflows to move faster than our size would suggest. We're not precious about who writes the first draft—human or AI—but we hold ourselves accountable for the judgment that shapes what we ship. We take on hard problems and admit when we're uncertain. Gracefully Rigorous — You'll be in calls with state agency leaders. You'll hear directly from caseworkers about what's working and what isn't. We hold ourselves to high standards—in code quality, in user experience, in how we communicate—while staying kind to ourselves and each other when we fall short. Joyfully Serious — The work matters deeply, and we bring our full attention to it. That means being genuinely present during working hours, responsive to teammates, and invested in what we're building together. It also means celebrating wins, laughing at the absurdities, and remembering why this work is worth doing. Wisely Compassionate — We build tools for people doing impossibly hard work. That shapes how we think about UX, how we interpret user feedback, and how we treat each other. We extend grace while maintaining high expectations.
