About the role


As a Frontend/Full-stack Engineer at Sweetspot, you will join a team dedicated to pushing the boundaries of LLM usage over disparate and unstructured data sources across United States federal and state governments. You will play a critical role in building and integrating data pipelines that feed directly into a framework built for the aforementioned. More broadly, you will join a team that is highly focused on building a product that bolsters the American economy and provides every business, regardless of size, the tools they need to secure government opportunities.



Things you should know about us

We work extensively with industry experts to build software that is useful for our clients. This means frequent customer calls and a constant level of iteration.

Talent density is far more important than team size. We want to hire the absolute best, and are willing to wait to find the right person.

If you're early in your career and/or don't come from a "prestigious" background, don't be afraid to apply - we all went to a state school and don't place a large emphasis on prestige.

Our office is in Newport/Jersey City.
