Description For Software Engineer - Application Developer (JavaScript/TypeScript)

Mighty Acorn Digital is seeking a talented and mission-driven application developer to join their growing team. As a professional services company formed in 2023, they specialize in helping governments deliver world-class digital services. The role requires 2+ years of experience in full-stack engineering, with a focus on technologies like Next.js, React, and TypeScript/JavaScript.

The position offers an opportunity to work on meaningful projects that enhance public trust and satisfaction in government digital services. From renewing fishing licenses to applying for unemployment benefits, you'll be part of a team that builds solutions to make government services more efficient and user-friendly.

Working in a remote-first environment, you'll collaborate with senior technologists on an established cross-functional scrum team. The role involves the entire application lifecycle, from writing clean code to participating in code reviews. The company values transparency, direct communication, and a growth mindset.

The compensation range is competitive at $90,000-$120,000, and the position requires US citizenship or permanent residency. You'll need a reliable high-speed internet connection and a dedicated workspace suitable for remote work. While the requirements include 2-3 years of experience and a Bachelor's degree, the company encourages applications from diverse candidates who might not meet every qualification but believe they'd excel in the role.

This is an excellent opportunity for a mid-level software engineer who wants to make a meaningful impact by improving government digital services while working with modern technologies in a flexible, remote environment.
