Senior Full Stack Developer

GoodParty.org is looking for a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer based in the U.S. to join us in our mission of making people matter more than money in our democracy.

AboutGoodParty.org:

GoodParty.org is on a mission to make people matter more than money in our democracy by empowering independent candidates to run, win, and serve. Our AI-powered platform provides free tools to independent candidates to run their campaigns, connect with voters, and serve their communities effectively.

A majority of eligible voters, including more than half of Millennials and Gen Z, say that neither Republicans nor Democrats represent them.GoodParty.org is the solution. With 3,444 independent candidate wins across 48 states last year, these elected officials come from across the ideological spectrum. They prioritize people over parties and community over corporate interests. In 2024, 40.3 million voters (26% of all voters) cast a ballot for our candidates. We’re not a political party, we’re a platform and a movement.

Founded by serial entrepreneur Farhad Mohit ($1B+ in exits, including Flipagram/TikTok and Shopzilla),GoodParty.org is building solutions so we can have a truly representative democracy where society’s biggest problems are solved.

What you’ll do:

• Build intuitive, inclusive, and accessible tools that function seamlessly across desktop and mobile web and will empower candidates, volunteers, and creators to take effective action.

• Turn product requirements and designs into high-quality working software for candidates on our web-based platform.

• Build out AI and LLM use cases and utilize best practices in AI into our product to help candidates get elected, as well as opportunistic projects to spread our message and movement.

• Identify and maintain pixel-perfect site-wide design standards.

• Collaborate with our lean, agile team using CI/CD and Kanban methodologies.

• Work directly with product, design, and QA on your projects.

• Report to the CTO as an early team member.
