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.
