Software Engineer - Remote Eligible

Young Americans For Liberty

Founded from the 2008 Ron Paul Presidential Campaign, Young Americans For Liberty (YAL) is the nation's largest pro-liberty youth movement, building a powerful network of activists to transform states into beacons of freedom.

We utilize a three step "Build - Elect - Pass" model is driving real change in America's political system:

1. Build: We are building the largest nationwide movement of committed youth activists on American college campuses. We have chapters established on over 500 campuses and with over 327,000 students on campus.
2. Elect: Mobilize our base of committed youth activists to be the grassroots muscle on campaigns of principled liberty legislators through Operation Win at the Door. Since 2018, we've built a coalition of 400 active legislators in our National Liberty Legislator Coalition.
3. Pass: Use this coalition of principled liberty legislators to pass transformative policy at the state level. This coalition has already passed over 750 liberty bills spanning from Universal School Choice, to Constitutional Carry, to major tax cuts and so much more.

What We're Looking For

• You're an exceptional engineer; your colleagues are often surprised by how quickly you can ship new products and features.
• When in doubt, you're biased for action and getting something out that the customer can use.
• You have broad experience across modern web development stacks and understand how to design and build scalable applications. You're comfortable making decisions across the full stack—from frontend UI to backend APIs and databases.

Our Tech Stack

We're building with tools that both humans and AI love:

• Frontend: React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS
• Backend: Next.js, Inngest
• Database: Neon, Supabase (serverless Postgres)
• Auth: Clerk, Auth0
• Cloud: Vercel (edge-first, serverless)
• Bonus: We're exploring the use of graph databases (like Neo4j) for modeling complex relationships in our data. Prior experience or interest in graph data modeling is a plus—but not required. If this is new to you but you're curious, that's perfect.

Application Process

1. Jump on a call where we learn more about you and establish a culture fit
2. We do a 2-3h work trial in which you work through a real-world customer problem and produce a final output product to solve for it. This will enable us to learn about your work in a real-world setting while allowing you to get a good sense of the problems you'd be facing and how it'd be to work with us.
3. Last interview screen with members of our exec team.
