Local Government
Working on the most direct form of democracy with the most tangible impacts.

Product
Common Sense AI is seeking exceptional builders to join our pioneering team as a Principal Software Engineer. In this hybrid role, you'll work directly with local government partners to implement our AI agent-native platform while simultaneously contributing to our core product development. You'll bridge the gap between customer needs and product capabilities, designing solutions that transform bureaucratic workflows into streamlined, AI-powered services. The ideal candidate brings technical versatility, problem-solving creativity, and a passion for reimagining how government systems operate—someone who can navigate complex legacy environments while implementing cutting-edge AI technologies with an unwavering focus on the Venn diagram among agentic systems, massive productivity gains, and human oversight.
We're looking for engineers who believe local government deserves revolutionary technology, who understand that composable architectures will succeed where monolithic systems have failed, and who are driven by impact rather than ego. This role demands someone comfortable with rapid iteration, who thrives in ambiguity, and who approaches challenges with both technical rigor and empathy for end users. You'll join a team of industry veterans from companies like Palantir, Anduril, and Meta who are committed to 100x-ing the systems hundreds of millions rely on. If you're passionate about applying advanced technology at the intersection of innovation and public service—and want to build something that truly matters—we want to talk to you.
