Corbalt | Software Engineer | Remote | Full Time or Contract | https://jobs.lever.co/corbalt/ Corbalt is a small startup working to build better software infrastructure for government. Corbalt was born out of the problematic launch of healthcare.gov. We were part of the tech team that came in to help fix healthcare.gov and were inspired by how much everyone cared and worked hard to fix the site (from tech team member…

Highlighting the not-quite-your-standard-interview process:

"We have a two-stage hiring process.

The first stage is an informal conversation to communicate what we're doing, clarify any questions, and gauge interest and fit.

The second stage is three components:

- a 10-20 minute presentation to the team describing what you did on a previous project. We're more interested in learning about the work you did and your experience doing it vs. learning about the project overall. For example, a possible time breakdown could be 2 minutes of project overview and 10 minutes on your role and what you did on the project. We'll also leave some time for questions and discussion at the end.

- a 45 minute conversation with another person on the team to get an additional perspective on what our work is like.

- a 4 hr mini-project where we'll work together on a problem based on something we've actually worked on. The goal of this is to get an idea of what working together is like."

Turnout2020 - https://www.turnout2020.us | Senior Software Engineer | Full Time | REMOTE Turnout2020 is a nonprofit organization founded by a small team of elections and technology experts (including the founders of Vote.org (YC S16) and Vote.gov), who have come together to combat the chaos of the 2020 election cycle by helping to to drive record-shattering voter turnout. We will accomplish this via hyper-aggressive…

I did some background research on this company, looking to see if there's some shady funders.

The closest connection appears to be to centrist democratic candidates (some key people worked on Biden/Clintons campaign) - that's fine, I'd expect them to have a political history. Their donations go through actblue (https://www.turnout2020.us/terms/).

I also have a few shared connections on linkedin with some people ... the shared connections are all people legitimately interested in democratic participation and community building.

It appears to be legitimately connected to its mission statement. The parent org, Democracy Builders Fund, furthermore seems to be headquartered in an apartment in harlem, not say, some lobbying group in DC. It appears to be a paper tiger with zero employees, also fine. Taxes are complicated.

Furthermore, there's no other organization headquartered out of there as far as I can tell.

Also ignore the salary scale argument, that's just juicing. The parent "organization" pulls in about $600k/year (https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/464...), they're trying to pay as much as they can afford since they AREN'T some puppet organization working for like, oil and cigarettes.

When it comes to democratic coalition building, a mysteriously opulent organization would be a bad sign. the scrappy accounting is yet another point for them.

Does "performing original research" include publication?

They mention "proprietary machine learning library" in the same sentence, so my guess is no.
