San Francisco, California, United States Pavilion Full time
About Pavilion

Pavilion aims to revolutionize public procurement by leveraging cutting-edge technology to streamline government purchasing processes. With a $2 trillion annual spend, the current system is outdated and inefficient, taking months or even years to complete. We believe that government buyers deserve modern, user-friendly technology, enabling them to make informed decisions and deliver better services to residents.

Our marketplace connects public buyers with pre-qualified suppliers, fostering partnerships and driving business growth. As a key member of our engineering team, you will play a crucial role in developing high-impact features, improving contract management, and enhancing search functionality.
Your Key Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with experienced engineers, product managers, and designers to design and implement innovative solutions, incorporating insights gained from interacting with government buyers.
  • Lead the development of our contract database, a critical component of our platform, ensuring it remains the best-in-class resource for public sector buyers.
  • Tackle complex technical challenges, such as entity resolution, AI explainability, and semantic search, pushing the boundaries of what is possible with vector databases, AI-driven data acquisition, and document understanding.
  • Mentor team members, sharing your expertise to enhance our collective skills and drive improvements to our core backend technology, patterns, and best practices.
  • Contribute to shaping our engineering culture and company values, influencing how we work as a team and making a lasting impact on our products and services.
    You'll Thrive If You Have:
    • A minimum of 2 years of industry experience in web development, with a strong track record of delivering multiple features and leading small project teams.
    • Proficiency in Python, including fluency with its patterns and best practices, and experience with at least one web framework (we use Django).
    • Experience with React, enabling you to build full-stack features independently and drive frontend development.
    • A history of making impactful decisions, prioritizing pragmatism while maintaining a high quality bar.
    • An ownership mindset, valuing autonomy and seeking out opportunities to solve hard problems and deliver significant results.
    • Strong teamwork skills, with excellent communication abilities and a willingness to learn and grow alongside a high-performing team.
      Why Join Pavilion?

      We offer a hybrid work model, with most team members working from our downtown San Francisco office three days a week. When we're together, we enjoy meals, social events, and team-building activities. Our engineering team is energetic, mission-driven, and passionate about building innovative solutions that empower public servants.

      We're committed to empowering public servants, championing collaboration, and building inclusive environments. Our compensation philosophy prioritizes fairness, competitiveness, and equity, offering a salary range of $133,000 - $142,000, along with a generous equity package.
