Hazel, a Y Combinator‑backed startup, is recruiting a Full Stack Engineer to deploy its AI‑driven procurement platform for U.S. federal agencies. The role demands a Top Secret clearance and hands‑on experience with AWS, Python, and React/Next.js. Candidates must thrive in classified environments and 25 % of the time will work onsite in Washington, D.C.

Hazel tackles a $2.7 trillion yearly spend by automating bid evaluations and streamlining the entire procurement lifecycle—from need identification to award management. The platform integrates AI models that flag vendor risks, reduce cycle times, and cut costs for state, local, and education agencies. This effort positions Hazel as a first‑mover in public‑sector AI.

Daily duties include defining feature roadmaps, optimizing cloud infra, and ensuring compliance with IL‑6 and ICD‑503 standards. Engineers collaborate directly with federal buyers to translate tactical needs into secure, scalable code. Hazel’s stack—AWS CDK, Terraform, PostgreSQL, and SSO—supports rapid iteration while meeting rigorous security accreditation.

The position offers a $150K–$200K salary, equity, and unlimited PTO, with relocation support. Hazel sponsors new clearances and values continuous learning in a startup that blends speed with public‑service mission. Joining the team means shaping national‑security procurement technology that could save billions annually.
