Staff Full Stack Engineer

GoodParty.org is looking for a Staff Full Stack Engineer to help scale frontier AI to empower tens of thousands of Independent candidates and elected officials who are putting people over parties. This is a role for an engineer who nerds out about the latest in AI, tests what actually works, and turns the best ideas into durable, high-impact features for our users.

You will lead technical projects without needing to be a people manager: shaping architecture, setting patterns, building across the stack, and pushing our AI-native products into the hands of civic leaders who are solving real problems for their communities.

About GoodParty.org:

A majority of voters, including more than half of Millennials and Gen Z, say that neither major party represents them. GoodParty.org is the solution.

We’re on a mission to make people matter more than money in our democracy by empowering Independent candidates to run, win, and serve.

Since 2024, 13,000+ Independent candidates have won their races across all 50 states using our tools, training, and support. Our AI-powered platform provides free tools to launch and run campaigns, connect with voters, and serve their communities effectively — without needing a political party or big donors. What our users have in common is that they prioritize people over parties and community over special interests. We’re not a political party, we’re a platform and a movement to democratize democracy.

Founded by serial entrepreneur Farhad Mohit ($1B+ in exits, including Flipagram/TikTok and Shopzilla), GoodParty.org is building solutions so we can have a truly representative democracy where society’s biggest problems are solved.

What you’ll do:

• Own features end-to-end across the stack — from the Next.js frontend through the NestJS backend and into the Python AI services that power them.

• Set the frontend quality bar for AI-native product surfaces, defining component patterns and UI interaction models for agent-driven, conversational experiences.

• Embed in a product squad as a key voice, partnering with product and design to take features from prototype to production.

• Build and maintain the integration layer between the user-facing product and our Civic Agent Platform — owning the contracts, data shapes, and API boundaries that connect what users see to what agents compute.

• Contribute to the evaluation and quality layer for user-facing AI features, including eval pipelines, golden datasets, and CI gates that catch model failures before they reach users.

• Raise the engineering bar by turning repeated problems and slowdowns into shared infrastructure, reusable patterns, stronger tooling, and better development practices for the team.

• Lead technical conversations across the stack with enough fluency in infrastructure, deployment, and observability to make sensible tradeoffs and escalate the right things.

• Report to the CTO and partner closely with our Principal Engineer and squad Tech Leads.

Who we’re looking for:

• You’re up for the audacious challenge of driving money out of politics and democratizing democracy.

• You thrive in a remote, fast-paced environment, balancing strategic thinking with a strong bias toward action.

• You bring 10+ years of engineering experience, with at least 3 years at Staff level or equivalent scope owning full stack product delivery.

• You are genuinely full stack — comfortable and productive in Next.js/React on the frontend and NestJS/TypeScript on the backend, and you don’t have a preference layer you silently avoid.

• You walk the talk by using AI-native approaches (e.g. AI writes the code) yourself for coding, including Clau…
