Building back democracy, state by state. Join a team of journalists, engineers, and policy hands doing the work every day.
We hire in the places where policy gets made and where the people building modern tooling live. Come work in San Francisco, Washington D.C., or Miami.
Engineering and product leadership. Most of the platform team works from our SoMa office.
Our Washington bureau — statehouse journalism, federal tracking, and policy research.
Go-to-market, customer success, and operations. Headquartered where the sun stays on.
We hire for craft, for judgment, and for caring about the work. Here's what a few of our teammates say about why they're here.
We're scaling tools across 50 states that teams actually rely on every day. That's rare.
Our engineering culture is genuinely collaborative. You learn from everyone, every week.
The problems here are real. Processing state legislation at scale isn't something anyone else has solved.
Four values guide how we hire, review, and give feedback. If these resonate, you'll fit in.
Nonpartisan coverage. Accurate data. Credit where due. We do what's right when no one's watching.
We ship things that matter. We're skeptical of trend-chasing and generous with solving real problems.
No silos. Engineers work with journalists. GTM works with product. The best ideas come from crossing lines.
We're confident about the work and quiet about ourselves. Credit the team. Learn loudly. Grow in public.
A comprehensive package that scales with you, whether you're just starting out or raising a family.
Medical, dental, and vision for you and your family, premiums fully covered.
Company match on every dollar you contribute up to the statutory limit.
16 weeks fully paid for primary caregivers, regardless of how you grow your family.
Annual stipend for courses, conferences, books — anything that makes you better at your craft.
Pre-tax spending accounts for medical, dependent care, and commuter expenses.
Basic life and AD&D coverage at 2× your base salary, company-paid.
Free, confidential support for mental health, legal issues, and financial planning, for you and your household.
Pre-tax transit, parking, and bike maintenance across all three of our hubs.
We hire when we meet someone great, not only when there's an opening. Send a note.
