The posting

Civitech is a public benefit corporation dedicated to creating a fairer and more equitable democracy by building the tools and infrastructure needed to increase civic participation, empower Democratic candidates to win, and support the success of progressive causes. Since its founding in 2019, over 500 partners -- a range of nonprofit organizations, national political committees, and individual campaigns -- have utilized Civitech’s tools to reach tens of millions of voters to help create a more equitable and progressive democracy.

Researchers, who can be based anywhere in the U.S., are responsible for researching a wide range of topics, including elections at all levels from national races to local special districts (such as the Illinois Metropolitan Water Reclamation District), candidates for selected elections (including their experience, qualifications, incumbent status, and issue stances), elected positions (such as the roles and responsibilities of offices like the Bergen County Clerk, eligibility requirements, and how to run for a position), and current office holders, including their years in office.

It is important that our team reflects the diversity of the organizations we seek to serve. We strongly encourage women, people of color, LGBTQIA+ people, and those otherwise underrepresented in the technology sector to apply.

Who You Are:

  • Strong attention to detail—our work relies on the accuracy of your research!
  • Excellent time management and personal organization that allows you to meet deadlines.
  • Skill in communicating clearly and proactively as needed (e.g., if you are unsure about something or need an extension).
  • Comfort navigating ambiguity (e.g., if finding the details about a local office requires you to go down a rabbit hole of creative research methods, which is not unheard of, you’re ready and able to dive in).

About You:

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Strong attention to detail and excellent time management skills.
  • Committed to leveraging technology and data products to increase civic participation.

Additional Qualifications (desired but not required):

  • Experience working with political data
  • Proficiency with SQL and GIS

Civitech's Values:

  • We act with Integrity – At Civitech, we hold ourselves to the highest standards and value open and transparent communications with all of our stakeholders. Our rigorous approach to product design, testing, and data science leads to accurate assessments of our outcomes and challenges us to constantly improve our tools.
  • We are Changemakers – As a team, Civitech seeks to make transformational change in our democracy by eliminating obstacles meant to hamper contribution from every member of the community.
  • We are Collaborators - Buoyed by our mission, we look for opportunities to partner with everyone committed to making democracy easier to participate in. We seek to understand the challenges our partners face and use our skills and creativity to help them solve them.
  • We are Bold – We recognize that disruptive change won’t come with doing business as usual. Civitech seeks to revolutionize civic participation by bringing innovation and creativity to politics.

About our Data Acquisition Team: The Data Acquisition team is focused on building processes to extract, normalize, ingest, and regularly refresh large volumes of civic data. This includes data relating to current positions, officeholders, and candidates for office from the federal level to local special districts. This team also collects geospatial data to power our products and direct users to useful voting resources.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
