OpenGov is a prominent leader providing AI and ERP solutions tailored for local and state governments across the United States. Thousands of public sector agencies rely on the OpenGov Public Service Platform to boost efficiency, adapt to changes, and enhance public trust with category-leading products spanning asset management, budgeting, and revenue management. As an Implementation Engineer III at OpenGov, you will act as a senior technical delivery leader, partnering directly with government customers to bring cloud software deployments to life.

• Serve as the primary technical point of contact for government stakeholders and decision-makers.
• Design and execute comprehensive test scenarios to validate configurations prior to go-live.
• Mentor and coach Associate and mid-level Implementation Engineers while reviewing their technical work.
• Define and improve implementation standards, playbooks, and reusable tooling to increase delivery speed.

Requirements

• 6 to 9 years of experience in software implementation, data migration, or technical consulting.
• 5+ years of hands-on SQL scripting experience including complex queries and data transformation.
• 3+ years of Python or similar scripting experience for automation and data processing.
• Deep experience with database technologies, ETL concepts, and data-migration tools.
• Experience implementing AI-driven solutions for automation and workflow optimization.
• Demonstrated ability to deliver complex implementations end to end and provide technical guidance.
• Bachelor's degree in a technical or related field.

Who should apply

This role is ideal for seasoned technical professionals with extensive experience in software implementation, data migration, and technical consulting within enterprise or SaaS environments. It suits candidates who possess deep expertise in SQL, Python, and database management, alongside a strong background in guiding complex client deployments. Applicants should have a consultative approach, excellent communication skills, and a passion for mentoring junior team members while advancing public sector technology solutions. Freshers should not apply as senior experience is strictly required.
