  • Experience with Python (mega bonus!)
  • Experience with Python packaging software (PyPI, setuptools/distutils, etc)

  • Familiarity with PEP8
  • Experience with Tornado
  • Experience with ElasticSearch, including field mapping and clustering/sharding
  • Experience with React

  • A preferential, agreeable, and favorable view of the Oxford comma
Salary:
  • We pay a competitive salary based on a combination of your experience and your location. We promise you’ll be comfortably middle class, although you’re unlikely to get rich helping to fix democracy.

About Vote.org

Who we are:
  • Vote.org is a YC-backed non-profit that uses technology to simplify political engagement, increase voter turnout, and strengthen American democracy. And this isn’t just talk: the only groups that reached more voters than we did in 2016 were the presidential campaigns themselves, and they spent 10.2 billion more dollars (literally) than we did.
  • In 2016 alone we helped over 2.2 million people register to vote, check their registration status, or get their absentee ballots; we ran the single largest Election Day GOTV drive in the country; we pioneered the use of electronic signatures on voting forms; we served over 6.5 million visitors to our primary domain; we ran five of the largest controlled experiments in US voting history; and LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, and Stephen Curry made a PSA about us.  Also, if you ask Siri how to vote, she’ll send you to Vote.org.
  • We’re ambitious, efficient, metric-driven, passionate, low-ego, and fun to work with.  (And our slack channels are awesome.)
Some of the benefits of working for Vote.org:
  • Work from home.  Live and work wherever you’d like. We all work from home and it’s just the best.  
  • Flexible work schedule. Need to take 3-5pm off every day to hang out with your kids after school? No problem.
  • Excellent health benefits. Fully covered health, dental and vision for the employee, and generous coverage for spouse/children.
  • Generous time off.  3-5 weeks of vacation, a mess of paid vacation days, and we all take the week between Christmas and New Years off.
  • Retirement accounts. We offer both a 401(k) and a Roth 401(k) since we want you to retire one day.
  • Awesome slack channels. Including #pets, #politics, and #OMG-WTF-LOL.

Job Description:
You will play a critical role in designing and executing cloud-based architectures. This can range from orchestrating the deployment of centralised environments on AWS infrastructure, fresh design/build work in cloud-based environments like AWS and GCE, or adapting large existing infrastructures to an AWS deployment model. You will be responsible for developing solutions to complex architectural problems, designing and delivering real enterprise-class software products to customers and being a hands-on peer leader of top development resources. As the owner for the architecture and technical delivery of multi-million dollar revenue per year enterprise software products, you will effectively work as the CTO of the engagement with a startup mindset, wearing multiple hats from lead architect and developer on the most complex elements of the product to technical team leader to solution evangelist ensuring that the customers are blown away by the technical differentiation and quality of the product.
Just as an example, one project includes migrating a large infrastructure consuming over 1,500 machines globally and storing over 5 petabytes of information into AWS. This role will include implementing profound architecture changes to get ready for the cloud, phased adoption of cloud-specific services, progressive removal of legacy technologies, with the ultimate goal of full migration into the AWS cloud.

Key responsibilities:
  • Developing product expertise in a short time frame.
  • Architecting new solutions or adapting existing ones to optimally run in a cloud-based environment (proper use of VMs and containers, queue-based architectures, services-oriented architectures, etc)
  • Owning the execution and implementation of migration strategies (this will include deployment/provisioning using DevOps tools, data migration, testing, cutover/failover of systems, configuration of monitoring and other production management systems)
  • Overseeing technical quality for the output of small teams of Software Engineers (requirements reviews, architectural reviews, and code reviews)
  • While showing technical leadership you will still be in charge of personally addressing the most technically challenging issues in the project. We count on you as the key technical person, not a people manager!

Skills & Requirements

Required Skills and Experience:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering
  • Expertise in Amazon Web Services. In particular infrastructure services like AWS Elastic Beanstalk & CloudFormation
  • Experience with Docker and Aurora

  • A true “roll up the sleeves and get it done” working approach; demonstrated success as a problem solver, operating as a result-oriented, self-starter
  • Comfort “working virtually” with teammates and customers around the world. We do a lot of Skype and video conferencing
Total compensation: $50/hr for 40 productive hours per week
Location: Global (remote)
