Brooklyn, NYC - Hillary Clinton Presidential Campaign

We are hiring engineers at all levels (IC and people managers) across the entire stack: frontend, backend, devops and data infrastructure.

Email your resume to Kyle Rush (me) krush@hillaryclinton.com.

Many of our applications are Python hosted on AWS, but we will be building many more applications over the course of the campaign. Here are some example applications you might work on:

Fundraising: Hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars process through millions of donations. We will web donations, one-click donations, SMS donations, P2P donations, mobile app donations, merchandise store, and more.

Grassroots events: Hundreds of thousands of events will be created by supporters across the country.

Internal tools: Applications that improve field organizing, HQ operations, and enable the hundreds of state staff around the country to be more efficient.

Data infrastructure - Won't say much on this except that we have a lot of data and we will be leveraging it in innovative ways.

Integrations: We have many apps, both internal and external, that we need to work well with each other.

There will be many, many, other applications. Can't stress that enough :)

We are looking for a smart, self-motivated, and enthusiastic individual to join us on the journey in building the artificial intelligence of the future. You’ll get to work side by side with a small team of serial entrepreneurs moving at breakneck speed.

* Iterate on our continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines

* Automate everything to a point of fault

* Constantly improve our development processes and tools to reduce friction from idea to deployment

Ideally, you would have experience with working on distributed applications, Linux, automation tools and container technology like chef / puppet / docker, and experience with at least one programming language. As a bonus, experience in AWS, MongoDB, Apache Spark would be great.

----------------

As a backend engineer some of your responsibilities would be:

* Build, evolve and scale out infrastructure to ingest, process and extract meaning out of free form text

* Design and build a system that enables seamless human-machine interactions

Pangea started with the mission of making money transfer simple, fair and safe. Since then, we’ve been striving to enhance the security, and reduce the cost and pain points of money transfer.
