The Democratic National Committee’s Tech Team is hiring a Data Scientist to help us provide candidates and state parties a set of products that will optimize their voter contact programs. The Tech Team works closely with campaigns up and down the ballot to provide them the tools and data they need to win.
Who We Are:
The Tech Team is a small, diverse team that provides technology, datasets, and data products used by candidates and organizers in all 50 states and in all 3,413 counties across the United States. The Tech Team’s efforts directly give support to analyze data, organize campaigns, define targets, raise money, and get out the vote on Election Day.
We are building a team geared to take on the biggest challenges. So we are hiring analysts, product managers, engineers, researchers, designers, security experts, IT professionals, client support, and data scientists who can use user-centered design and rapid iteration to develop a rich technology ecosystem for progressives – building tools ourselves as well as partnering with other companies and organizations.
Who You Are: We're focused on equipping Democratic candidates and campaigns around the country with the data and analytics resources they need to win, and are looking for Analytics Engineers with a diverse range of backgrounds and skill sets to help us tackle numerous projects. Whether 2020 was your first time volunteering for a campaign or you've been working with electoral data teams for multiple cycles, we'd love to talk to you.
Good candidates are willing to get nerdy about the details while staying focused on our goal of electing Democrats.
You can work from our headquarters in Washington, D.C. or remotely from wherever you are. We’re definitely looking for someone with a few years of relevant work experience but we don’t require previous experience in politics. If you are coming from industry, however, be aware that some things are different in the world of politics: while we've done some budget hacking so we can be competitive when it comes to salaries we know we can’t beat Google or Facebook.
