Build With Us Open Role

Sunlight is building systems that strengthen families and improve outcomes in child welfare and public sector work. That kind of mission doesn’t fit neatly into job descriptions — and neither do the best people.

If you believe in what we’re building but don’t see a perfect match among our open roles, we’d still like to hear from you.

Sometimes the right hire creates the role.

Who Thrives Here

You might be a strong fit if you:

• Care deeply about improving systems that affect real families
• Think in terms of outcomes, not just tasks
• Operate with high ownership and low ego
• Are comfortable building structure where it doesn’t yet exist
• Can move between strategy and execution without drama

We’re particularly interested in people with experience in:

• Public sector SaaS
• Child welfare, family defense, or court systems
• Implementation & client operations
• Data & analytics in human services
• Partnerships & government relations
• Product strategy in mission-driven tech
• Nonprofit or public policy leadership

But if your background doesn’t fit neatly into a box and you believe you can create disproportionate impact here, tell us why.

What to Send

Submit your resume along with a short note that answers:

1. What problem in our space do you care most about?
2. What are you unusually good at?
3. If we created a role for you, what would it be?

If there’s alignment, we’ll start a conversation. We move thoughtfully, but we don’t miss exceptional people.
