OpenGov is hiring a Product Engineer to own a domain inside our ERP — the financial system of record for state and local government. You will own a product area end to end: customer discovery, the roadmap, the user experience, the build, the launch, and the adoption number. This is a new kind of role, born from AI's ability to handle execution work that once required three specialists. What AI cannot do is decide what matters, sit with a finance director through a budget cycle, make the right call in an ambiguous compliance question, or own whether a product succeeds. That is what Product Engineers do.

The shift to Product Engineering is primarily about owning the product — not becoming an engineer. The best Product Engineers are obsessed with the who and the why: who are these customers, what do they actually need, and what business outcomes depend on solving their problems. The how — writing code, building interfaces — is a skill you grow into using AI-native tooling. Product Engineer" is two words — but the first word is the one that matters most. You will own a domain where the decisions are load-bearing: a chart-of-accounts choice that a county lives with for a decade, a reporting model that either satisfies an auditor or does not. We expect you to make those calls, write down why, and defend them when the facts change.

ERP at OpenGov is a suite, and this role owns a domain within it. Financial Management — general ledger and the chart of accounts, accounts payable, accounts receivable and cash receipts, fixed assets, purchase card, requisitions, bank reconciliation, project accounting.
Budgeting & Performance — budget creation and proposals on the ERP chart of accounts, worksheets, multi-period adoption, amendments and transfers, workforce planning, performance measures.
Reporting & Financial Statements — the financial report engine, multi-hierarchy and multi-entity reporting, GASB-compliant statements, the datasets and pipelines beneath them, and the transparency surfaces governments publish to residents.




Procurement — intake through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract management, and the vendor record that connects procurement to AP.

Adjacent domains — payroll and HCM, utility billing, tax and revenue, permitting, asset management — sit alongside yours in the same platform. The hard, specific problems in this domain right now include chart-of-accounts migration and mutation, multi-entity and blended component-unit structures (a county and its school district, a city and its authorities), reporting parity for customers moving off a legacy product, and audit-readiness as a product capability rather than a services engagement. The end-to-end user experience. The ship. From idea to live in customers' hands. Field time. Product Engineers are members of Customer Product Squads alongside an Engagement Lead and a Solution Architect, and stay on accounts after go-live. Expect roughly 20–25 hours per implementation — concentrated in discovery, with lighter oversight through configuration and training — capped at about a quarter of your time. How AI Works in This Role
AI-native tooling handles a significant portion of what product managers and UX designers historically spent their time on. Spec writing. You build first, in the product repo, with AI skills that carry our standards; UX design. AI generates screens from the design system based on your flow definitions, and design-review agents sanity-check what you built. AI clusters and themes interview notes, call transcripts, support cases, and product usage. You interpret what it means for the roadmap and make the call.
Release content. AI drafts release notes, in-app announcements, demo data, and enablement material from what you shipped.
AI generates test cases from your acceptance criteria. You stay accountable for quality outcomes, and your acceptance criteria have to be precise enough to verify.
Competitive and regulatory monitoring. AI surfaces competitor moves and changes in accounting standards and state reporting requirements. What AI does not do: understand your customers, make the call on what matters, own the outcome, or build the cross-functional trust that makes things ship. You are also expected to improve the tooling itself — identify gaps in AI harnesses, skills, and design system coverage, and surface them as platform investment requests with a clear business case.





Define user experience flows and interaction patterns within the design system; Use AI-native tooling to move from intent to working software in the product repo, validate with customers, and iterate. Write acceptance criteria precise enough for automated tests to verify, and treat quality as a pipeline property rather than a hardening phase.
Embed with Professional Services on implementations and migrations: run discovery, close the gap between what the product does and what the customer configured, and feed what you learn straight back into the roadmap.
Represent your domain in customer conversations, QBRs, steering committees, and cross-functional reviews — the full commercial picture, not just the feature set.
Product management, product design, or a closely adjacent role, where you shipped things customers actually use and can point precisely to what you owned versus what the team owned. Depth in a complex, workflow-heavy, compliance-bound B2B domain. Financial software, ERP, accounting, or a comparably regulated enterprise domain. Expect a writing signal in the process.
Experience in AI-native workflows is a plus; Preferred Experience
Government finance, public sector accounting, or GovTech SaaS — or direct experience as a finance officer, budget analyst, auditor, or controller.
Familiarity with fund accounting, chart-of-accounts design, GASB reporting, the annual budget cycle, or external audit workflows.
Experience with data migration or platform replacement programs, where the hard part was the customer's existing data rather than the recent feature.
Multi-entity or multi-organization data models, consolidated reporting, or component-unit structures.
Hands-on time with AI development tooling — Claude Code, Cursor, or similar — and with design systems and component libraries.
