Berkeley, United States MoveOn Full time

Full-time Competitive Pay Excellent Benefits Work from Anywhere in the Contiguous U.S.

Application deadline: June 2nd, 2024 by EOD

MoveOn is a people-powered force for progress. We wield independent political power by bringing millions together to take action to create a country with a place of honor and dignity for everyonewhere all are welcome, we take care of one another, and where everyone is set up to thrive.

For more than a generation, MoveOn has been a bulwark against the radical right and has channeled millions of voices to end wars, protect democracy, and advance justice for all. We've built political power for progressive change through mobilizing the left to Democrats so that we can advance our vision of an America for all.

MoveOn is the largest multi-issue digital-first political campaigning organization in the country. We drive rapid-response campaigns at scale on a multitude of key issues at high-impact moments while building sustainable campaigns that resonate and grow over time. Whether it's democracy, health care, foreign policy, economic justice, immigration, or otherwise, MoveOn provides our members with timely ways to take action for change.

MoveOns tech team is a small team that works across the software stack and across the organization. We work closely with fundraisers, multi-channel campaigners, field organizers, analysts, and storytellers to implement and scale their ambitious plans.

We do a lot of work in Python and Javascript and deploy most systems to AWS but believe good programmers dont need to come in with an exact match of experience and can learn our systems and software stacks. While we do write code for brand new projects, this is a minority of the work. A lot of our work is maintaining and improving existing software that powers the organization. Engineers are expected to work on a variety of different engineering tasks and to, overtime, become proficient with our full stack of tools.

Examples of recent and ongoing work are building and maintaining data pipelines between systems and our data warehouse, designing, building and launching custom Django or NodeJS apps that extend the functionality of vendor tools, conducting vendor evaluations and tool migrations, supporting campaigners, field organizers and UX and product staff building internal tools for member management, writing complex, reusable targeting SQL queries to support experimentation and campaigning needs in bulk mail (ActionKit), SMS blast (Upland Mobile Commons), P2P SMS (Spoke), and vetting third-party apps for security risks.
