Full Stack Software Engineer

GoodParty.org is looking for a full-stack software engineer based in the U.S. to join us in our mission of making people matter more than money in our democracy. 

About GoodParty.org:

GoodParty.org is the movement to make people matter more than money in our democracy. We’re building free tech and a movement to end America's two-party political dysfunction. 

Americans are losing faith in democracy – especially young people. The rigged, two party system has turned Independent into a dirty word to make voters trapped between voting for the lesser of two evils. In fact, a majority of eligible voters (over 130M Americans), including more than half of Millennials and Gen Z, say that neither Republicans, nor Democrats represent them…but they keep getting elected! 

Whether you’re concerned about the climate, privacy, inequality, or our individual freedoms, solutions are held back by the dark doom-loop of dysfunctional partisan politics. With over 500,000 elected offices in the United States, GoodParty.org is empowering a grassroots revolution to take back our communities from career politicians. We help real people run winning local and state level campaigns.

GoodParty.org’s solution is to train people to run for office plus support candidates who take our pledge with cutting-edge tech tools to win, all without selling out to the Democrats, Republicans, big money, or special interests. Our free AI Campaign Manager and team with 50+ years of campaign experience make running, winning and serving as an independent possible.

We are building a community to end the corrupt two party system and then harnessing that community’s collective power to elect the most promising independents around the country. By leveraging social media and creators, we’re making our mission to make people matter more than money mainstream.

GoodParty.org is founded by serial entrepreneur, Farhad Mohit, with over $1B in exits — Flipagram (now TikTok), Shopzilla, and BizRate.

Regardless if this is the right job for you, go to GoodParty.org to join our movement!

What you’ll do: 

• Build intuitive, inclusive, and accessible tools that function seamlessly across desktop and mobile web and will empower candidates, volunteers, and creators to take effective action.

• Turn product requirements and designs into high-quality working software for candidates on our web-based platform.

• Build out AI and LLM use cases and utilize best practices in AI into our product to help candidates get elected, as well as opportunistic projects to spread our message and movement

• Identify and maintain pixel-perfect site-wide design standards.

• Collaborate with our lean, agile team using CI/CD and Kanban methodologies.

• Work directly with product, design, and QA on your projects.

• Report to the CTO as an early team member.
  

Who we’re looking for:

• You’re up for the audacious challenge of re-coding our democracy for Good.

• You’ve got strong JavaScript skills, experience with React.js, knowledge of API best practices, and excellent CSS/SCSS skills with the ability to create accurate, responsive designs. 70% of the work will be on the front-end.

• You’re a proven A-player with 4+ years of relevant full-time work experience, ideally within a fast-paced 0 to 1 environment. We care more about talent and trajectory than years of experience.

• You’re actively interested in using AI, LLMs, and automation of tasks through AI and have done previous work or personal projects in this area

• You have technical and analytical skills to diagnose, isolate, and resolve problems.

• You’re able to work independently and collaborate with others when needed to iteratively solve problems in real-time. Our solution is desperately needed and the issues of our time are all bottlenecked by our corrupted democracy.
  

Bonus if:

• You have experience with AWS and Next.js 

• You have experience studying, working, or volunteering in politics, political activism, or democracy reform

• You’re sick of sitting on the sidelines watching our democracy fail to meet its potential

Why you should work at GoodParty.org:

• Join us in solving the biggest problem of our time – fixing our democracy – so all other problems can be solved

• We’re a Public Benefit Corporation that prioritizes social impact over profit

• Work where and how you like on a fully remote team spread across the country

• Work when you work best with flexible work hours. We aim to limit meetings and ensure they’re useful. 

• Join a passionate team with diverse political views focused on one mission

• 100% coverage of health, dental, and vision benefits for you and your dependents

• We encourage you to take time off to recharge and have an unlimited PTO (sick and vacation) policy. This is a marathon, not a sprint. We believe a work-life balance is needed to get there. 

• We’ll make sure you’ve got what you need to work remotely through our workspace setup stipend

• If you work from home, we give $50/month to help with your internet and other expenses. If you prefer co-working, that’s an option we can discuss too. 

• Fully funded for our mission. No stressing over whether the next round of funding will come through. Focus on making an impact. That’s what matters here.

The salary range is $120,000 to $180,000 for this remote, full-time position with excellent benefits. Title will also be commensurate with experience. This range reflects the range of possible compensation for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range. An employee’s position within the salary range will be based on several factors including, but not limited to, relevant experience, skills, seniority, education, qualifications, certifications, and organizational needs. We reserve the right to modify this pay range at any time.
