Founding Full Stack Engineer
Apply NowCompany: Cadre
Location: San Francisco, CA 94112
Description:
Founding Software Engineer (Fullstack)
Location: Onsite in San Francisco
Company: Prophecy Gov - AI Agents for Local Governments
Stage: Seed ($2M raised in March 2025)
Seniority: 0-5 years experience
Why Prophecy Gov?
In govtech, sales is the hard part - but we've already nailed that. With strong GTM traction, a Head of Government with deep industry ties, and recent funding, we're bottlenecked not by demand - but by product velocity.
We're building AI agents that help local governments automate repetitive tasks, improve operational efficiency, and better serve their communities. We're now hiring a founding fullstack engineer to help us unlock a critical go-to-market inflection point and scale to 100+ cities and $3-6M ARR in the next 12 months.
What We're Looking For
We're not looking for "just another hire" - we're looking for a mission-driven builder to help shape the future of how cities operate.
Minimum Requirements
Why Join Now?
If this sounds like you - or someone you know - reach out and let's talk. We'd love to build with you.
