Software Engineer (Proposal Cloud)

We are building the rails to do business with the government.

GovDash is an AI company helping businesses find, win, and manage government contracts. Our platform automates business development, capture, proposal, and contract workflows end to end. This helps contractors grow faster and better serve government missions.

Our small, talent-dense team includes engineers from Google, Lockheed Martin, and CACI, along with veteran proposal managers and capture leaders. This mix of AI talent and deep GovCon expertise uniquely positions us to redefine how contractors work.

In just 12 months, GovDash has scaled to millions in ARR and become the platform of choice for contractors nationwide. We are now building an AI-first ERP for government contractors and, ultimately, the most powerful procurement platform ever created. Join us.

• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to integrate user feedback, iterate quickly, and deliver high-impact features.

• Own projects end-to-end, from design through deployment, ensuring every feature elevates the customer experience.
