| Job Title | Senior Software Engineer | | --- | --- | | Company | Just Appraised | | Location | US / CA / Remote (US; CA) | | Type | Full-time | | Description | Just Appraised makes software for local governments. Our goal is to empower local government employees with the tools, technology, and support they need so they can deliver exceptional service to their taxpayers and feel proud of the work they do for their communities. We contribute by building software to streamline local government tax assessors’ workflows using AI. Specifically, we streamline the change of ownership process for real estate and create more seamless ways for tax offices to communicate digitally with their taxpayers. For instance, when properties get bought and sold, local governments have to process reams of paper in order to update their systems and perform the analyses necessary to update the tax roll. Our software makes this process 10x faster and much more enjoyable for employees in the tax office to complete and creates trust and goodwill in the minds of taxpayers. | | Responsibilities | Design, develop, and maintain robust, scalable backend systems using technologies like Java, PostgreSQL, AWS, Docker, and Terraform.
