[jobsthatareLEFT] Developer and Data Integration Specialist -- The Public Interest Network

Developer and Data Integration Specialist

 

Are you a tech-savvy person who cares about the future of the planet, believes that elections should be decided by voters rather than big money, and thinks we should protect public health over corporate profits? Do you believe that organizing and advocacy have the potential to solve the problems that you are most concerned about? And, are you interested in using your experience in software development or data analysis to create social and political change?

 

The Public Interest Network's Digital Team is hiring a Developer and Data Integration Specialist. Our team works with public interest organizations to fight for social change on critical issues like fighting global warming and getting big money out of politics. A key part of their strategy to win is to use online outreach tactics to reach and build a large list of supporters who can take action both online and offline and contribute financial support to the campaigns. You'll help:

·         Design new tools to help our digital organizers work with this data;

·         Communicate to our clients about this data;

·         Improve our data quality and supporters' online and offline experiences;

·         Build tools and reports that will improve coordination between organizers, staff, and data systems across the nation.
