Requirements

• If you were here today, you'd be: • Optimizing data availability: Developing new features to automatically make election research data available in our customer-facing tools, reducing latency to our end users. • Building data pipelines: Developing and maintaining pipelines that ingest, normalize, and serve civic data so it's reliably available to our tools and customers - including geospatial data like shapefiles and political boundary files. • Bridging data silos: Designing strategies to effectively and broadly share data between operational PostgreSQL databases and BigQuery data warehouses to enrich existing datasets. • Working with political geography: Reconciling census shapes against political shapes (precincts, council districts, legislative districts) and keeping that data current as new maps move through legislatures and the courts. • Improving data quality: Diagnosing and fixing bad data - from malformed geometries to inconsistent identifiers - so downstream tools and customers get reliable results.

Responsibilities

• Participate with other engineers in the design, implementation, and maintenance of Civitech's applications and infrastructure. • Collaborate cross-functionally with product, research, and data science teams to develop features from participation in requirements definition through to testing and documentation. • Build scalable, secure, and high-performing features in a cloud environment. • Communicate effectively with team members and contribute to an open and inclusive engineering culture.
