DATA FELLOWSHIP
TextOut is seeking a data fellow to join our team. Our fellowship roles are for people who are excited about contributing to our cause while developing deeper professional expertise. This role may be perfect for someone who is self-taught, completed a bootcamp, comes from a non-technical major, or is switching careers. We expect you to have some basic core technical skills, but you do not have to be an expert. Outside of tech, this role might be called an apprenticeship.
This is a remote, full-time position that can be based anywhere in the continental U.S. Pay is dependent on experience. There aren't any additional benefits at this time. While this position is at-will, you are making a moral commitment (though not a legal one) through the conclusion of the November 2020 elections.
