Full-Stack Software Engineer - New Grad Remote Opportunity

About the Role

We're looking for a Full-Stack Software Engineer (New Grad) to join our innovative team at SpruceID. This is a fantastic opportunity for recent graduates who are eager to learn and grow in a fully remote environment. As a Full-Stack Software Engineer, you'll work on privacy-preserving digital identity solutions that empower individuals and enhance government services. This role is perfect for those who want to make a real impact while developing their technical skills.

What You'll Do

• Collaborate with customer delivery leads, engineers, and UX designers on real-world deployments of identity solutions.
• Build full-stack features for state governments and public sector partners, guided by experienced engineers.
• Learn to translate customer requirements into technical solutions and production-ready systems.
• Develop backend services and web applications that adhere to public sector security, privacy, and accessibility standards.
• Contribute to codebases spanning backend, mobile, and browser environments.
• Participate in customer deployments and gain insights into the full lifecycle of software delivery.
• Engage with open identity standards and privacy-focused engineering practices.

Our Commitment to Your Growth

At SpruceID, we believe in investing in early-career engineers. As a new grad, you'll receive:

• Dedicated mentorship from senior engineers who will guide your technical development.
• Structured onboarding to familiarize you with our stack, standards, and customers.
• Regular 1:1s and feedback to help you set and achieve your career goals.
• Opportunities to own projects as you grow, with appropriate support and guardrails.
• Exposure to the full product lifecycle—from customer discovery to production deployment.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (recent graduates welcome).
• Foundational experience with backend development in a statically typed language (Rust, Go, C#, Java, or similar)—coursework, internships, or personal projects count.
• Demonstrated ability to learn quickly and work collaboratively.
• Strong communication skills and genuine interest in working with customers and stakeholders.
• Appreciation for open-source software, clean code, and thoughtful engineering.
• Based in the U.S. (or willing to relocate without visa assistance - TN are ok) and excited to contribute to impactful public sector work.

Nice to Have

• Internship or project experience in full-stack development.
• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) through coursework or side projects.
• Interest in digital identity, cryptography, data privacy, or security.
• Familiarity with modern web frontends (React, TypeScript, or similar).
• Familiarity with databases (PostgreSQL), APIs (REST or GraphQL), or CI/CD concepts.
• Contributions to open-source projects or hackathon participation.
• Coursework or interest in accessibility, usability, or inclusive design.
• Any exposure to government technology, civic tech, or high-compliance environments.

What We Offer

• Mission-driven work: Build technology that protects privacy and improves how governments serve citizens.
• Remote-first culture: Work from anywhere in the U.S. with a team that values async collaboration.
• Early responsibility: We're a growing company where you'll have real impact from day one.
• Standards-based engineering: Contribute to open-source projects and work with emerging identity standards (W3C, DIF, IETF).
• Supportive team: Join a group of engineers who care about craft, mentorship, and doing things right.
