Who We Are:
Dedicated to making a difference in law enforcement agencies across the U.S., our mission is to transform policing by elevating officer performance with a preventative-based early intervention system. Driven by data science and powered by machine learning, our offering analyzes officer performance data in order to identify potentially problematic behavior. In partnership with the University of Chicago, we’ve developed the world’s largest multi-jurisdictional officer performance database, and the only research-driven, evidence-based early intervention system available in policing today.
We’re also the only provider of a fully integrated, cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform that simplifies essential policing workflows. This platform is designed to be a single-source solution for all operational needs, driving extensive efficiency gains and providing best-in-class advanced analytics and insights.
Benchmark Analytics provides a comprehensive, all-in-one solution that is advancing police force management through state-of-the-art technology and market-leading data and analytics.
The Role:
We are looking for a full-stack Software Engineer to join one of our delivery trios — working alongside a Product Owner and a Senior Software Engineer to build and ship a defined product surface within our platform. You’ll use our AI-augmented software development lifecycle to deliver at a pace that traditionally required much larger teams. This is a build role on a small, fast-moving team. You’ll touch the full stack, ship into production frequently, and contribute to the architecture and operational health of your surface alongside your lead.
Responsibilities:
- Build, test, and ship full-stack features using AI-augmented workflows — taking engineering-ready specifications from your Product Owner and turning them into production code, owning meaningful slices end to end
- Use AI tools as a core part of your daily practice — for code generation, review, debugging, testing, and learning unfamiliar parts of the system
- Partner with your Product Owner and Senior Software Engineer as a trio; contribute to design and architectural discussions, surface technical concerns early, and push back substantively when something doesn’t add up
- Participate actively in code review, both giving and receiving — raising the quality of the codebase and your trio’s shared judgment
- Contribute to operational ownership of your product surface — including monitoring, on-call rotation when appropriate, and incident response
- Continuously raise your effectiveness with AI tooling and with our stack
- Write code that is correct, tested, and maintainable; the AI accelerates you, but the work you ship is yours
Job Qualifications:
- 5+ years of professional software development experience, with hands-on full-stack delivery in a production context
- Working proficiency with JavaScript/Node.js, React, a relational database (PostgreSQL preferred), and HTML/CSS — you can design schemas, write performant queries, and build clean, accessible interfaces
- Fluency with AI-assisted development workflows; you already use AI tools daily in your work and can demonstrate how they accelerate your output and the quality of what you ship
- Strong CS fundamentals — data structures, algorithms, concurrency, basic systems thinking
- Strong written and verbal communication; you write code, comments, and documentation that others can build on, and you can clearly explain tradeoffs and decisions
- Able to receive and respond constructively to feedback, and collaborate well with team members
- Comfort working in an agile or continuous-delivery environment with frequent ships and small batches
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent professional experience
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with AWS or another cloud platform
- Experience with component libraries such as Ant Design, Material UI, or Styled Components
- Experience writing automated tests (unit, integration, end-to-end)
- Experience designing and building APIs
- Experience contributing to a product that serves regulated industries, government, or other specialized professional audiences
- Experience working in an early- to growth-stage startup environment
What We Offer:
- A competitive salary and benefits package.
- Unlimited Paid Time Off.
- Ability to work in a fully remote environment (must be based in the U.S. and willing to work in Central Time Zone).
- Summer Half-Day Fridays.
- Freed Up Fridays during Spring, Fall, and Winter months to promote productivity and dedicated heads-down work time.
- Medical, dental, and vision plan offerings along with 401(k).
- Employer-paid Short-Term Disability, Long-Term Disability, and Life Insurance.
- Other Voluntary Benefits include additional Life Insurance, Spouse Life Insurance, and Accident Insurance.
- The satisfaction that comes with being part of a solution that has real impact in the world.
- A diverse workforce and inclusive environment that embraces unique contributions and experiences.
- An empowered culture that encourages creativity and professional growth.
Estimated Annual Salary Range:
- $120k - $140k; based on role, experience, and location
