Who we are:
The Tech team is a small, diverse team that provides technology and datasets 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 candidates and campaigns around the country with the data and analytics resources they need to win, and are looking for Analysts with a diverse range of backgrounds and skill sets to help us tackle numerous projects.
You will be part of the DNC’s Data Team and will focus on both 1) the near-term operational efficiency of the DNC, state parties, and candidates and 2) the long-range development of groundbreaking products for the progressive ecosystem at large.

- Strengthen and expand core DNC data products, with a focus on enhancing the integrity of our data, making our products more accessible, and encouraging wider adoption of DNC data products.Help us continue building upon and improving the data we provide, and create systems to get the right data into the hands of decision makers who are driving Democratic campaigns from the school board to the presidential level.
- Identify opportunities to develop new tools and products that help Democrats fully leverage data in their decision-making.Work on better understanding the end users of Democratic data and building the tools that best meet their needs. Help us think about how we can make data, analytics, and data science products more impactful and accessible to the campaigns that rely on them.
- Build tools that help campaigns level up their analytics work, including voter targeting, experimentation, and data visualization.Help us improve how campaigns find and reach the right voters across all of their programs; how they define and measure success across outreach efforts; and how we set up systems to be able to continually test assumptions.
You might be right for this role if you:
- Have experience working with data in a political context.
- Feel comfortable with one or more of the following: SQL, Python, R, data visualization tools (e.g. Tableau, Periscope, Google Data Studio), or political CRMs (e.g. Votebuilder, NGP, BSD).
- Have strong written and verbal communication skills, and experience explaining technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Are curious, collaborative, and humble – ready to work with a diverse, distributed team to solve interesting problems together.
Do you want to:
- Secure the future of our country? Right now a lot is at stake in our country and our team has a huge opportunity to make a real difference.
- Work with amazing people?We’re building a diverse, distributed team, hiring the best people we can wherever they are—alumni from past Presidential campaigns working out of DC and New York, experienced product developers from the SF Bay Area, and more.
- Never stop learning?There are people who know about politics and people who know about technology and a few who have figured out some things about how to combine the two, but we are blazing a lot of new trails and you should be comfortable exploring and learning from everyone you can.
You can work from our headquarters in Washington, D.C.; with a concentration of folks in NYC, the San Francisco Bay Area, Boston, or Chicago; or remotely from wherever you are. We’re looking for someone with diverse electoral campaign experience – experience up and down the ballot is not required, but is definitely a plus.
