A fast-growing organization is building a next-generation CRM and data analytics platform designed to support political campaigns and advocacy organizations. Their platform helps clients make data-driven decisions for donor engagement, outreach, and targeting — leveraging a database of over 20 million active donors.
As a Backend Developer, you’ll be part of a small, fast-paced, cross-functional engineering team developing a new platform from the ground up. The role is backend-heavy, focusing on data pipelines, APIs, and infrastructure to support large-scale analytics and integrations.
You’ll work cradle-to-grave on services — from design to deployment — while collaborating closely with product, frontend, and leadership teams. Candidates should thrive in environments that require autonomy, adaptability, and curiosity about the “why” behind business decisions.
Responsibilities:
• Design, implement, and maintain backend services and APIs in Python
• Build and optimize data pipelines using Airflow or similar orchestration tools
• Develop and manage GCP infrastructure (Pub/Sub, BigQuery, Cloud Functions, Storage)
• Implement Infrastructure-as-Code with Terraform and manage containerization via Docker
• Collaborate with product and frontend teams to define service contracts and integrations
• Apply observability, testing, and code quality best practices
• Mentor junior developers and contribute to evolving best practices
Culture & Perks:
• Mission-driven, progressive, and entrepreneurial environment
• Collaborative, feedback-friendly culture
• 33 total PTO days (includes holidays) + 2 days/year added tenure
• 3 weeks/year WFH flexibility
