Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. The Democratic National Committee’s Tech team develops and supports technology used by candidates and organizers across the United States.

Responsibilities
- Support pipelines and products that contribute directly to the 2026 midterms, including maintaining and validating early vote and vendor data pipelines
- Maintain core data products that make raw, messy data usable at scale. We build the ETL infrastructure that makes complex multi-sourced data accessible, accurate, and actionable. We take a user-centric approach to our work and support a portfolio of products that meet the needs of organizers, analysts, and strategists alike. Whether it’s integrating new Census data for our data science team, building innovative voter contact data models for campaigns, or building insightful analytics products for decision-makers, our work is what turns raw data into a strategic advantage
- Improve and maintain data observability, leveraging data contracts, SLAs, and automated tests to ensure reliability at scale. When our campaigns are building movements to win highly consequential elections, reliability can’t be an afterthought
- The work you do here won’t sit on a shelf. The pipelines you build and the datasets you shape will directly support decisions on the ground, like who to contact, where to invest limited resources, and how to measure our progress. In a cycle where every day counts, your contributions will help turn good strategy into meaningful victories
