Job Description

Senior Data Engineer building scalable voter-data and experimentation infrastructure at Movement Labs, a progressive political technology incubator. Leading pipelines, AI tooling, and election-readiness systems.

Responsibilities:

  • Design and implement scalable data architecture for targeting and engagement
  • Serve as technical partner to program teams
  • Extend foundational datasets to facilitate new outreach strategies
  • Load-test systems to prepare for elections
  • Maintain key datasets for polling images and precinct cross-matching
  • Develop standardized experimental frameworks for testing campaign effectiveness
  • Build AI tooling, including QC agents, evaluations, and context systems for self-documenting repositories
  • Shape pipelines and integrations feeding the RCT platform and foundational voter datasets
  • Extend and optimize the data platform and orchestration layer for cost, runtime, and reliability
  • Lead projects spanning multiple systems and teams from scoping through milestones
  • Test and validate work, review teammates' code, and mentor through code review
  • Document and communicate systems to teammates, stakeholders, and non-engineers
  • Rotate through on-call and rapid response, including evenings and weekends during high-stakes election cycles

Requirements:

  • Passionate about progressive politics and leveraging data, technology, organizing and research to build political power
  • 3-6+ years of experience in designing, building, and operating production data pipelines and integrations
  • Strong proficiency in SQL and Python
  • Experience building production software across a modern data stack — cloud data warehouses (BigQuery or similar), a transformation framework like dbt, and an orchestrator like Dagster or Airflow
  • Track record of leading technical work across multiple systems or teams and scoping ambiguous problems end-to-end
  • Sound judgment about when to refactor, when to ship pragmatically, and how to leave systems better than you found them
  • Strong written communication and ability to explain complex systems to non-engineers
  • Genuine commitment to the mission of stopping fascism and building progressive power, and comfort operating on a political calendar
  • Applicants must be legally eligible to work in the United States
  • Sponsorship is not available

Benefits:

  • Excellent health, dental, and vision benefits
  • 401(k) matching
  • Unlimited Paid Time Off
  • Remote first culture with teammates all around the country
  • Initial term of six (6) months, with potential to retain top performers
