Senior Engineer

About the role

GoodParty.org is looking for a Senior Engineer to help scale frontier AI to empower tens of thousands of Independent candidates and elected officials who are putting people over parties. This is a role for an engineer who nerds out about the latest in AI, tests what actually works, and turns the best ideas into durable, high-impact features for our users.

You will lead technical projects, shape architecture across the stack, and put AI-native products into the hands of civic leaders who are solving real problems for their communities.

About GoodParty.org:

A majority of voters, including more than half of Millennials and Gen Z, say that neither major party represents them. GoodParty.org is the solution.

We're on a mission to make people matter more than money in our democracy by empowering Independent candidates to run, win, and serve.

Since 2024, 13,000+ Independent candidates have won their races across all 50 states using our tools, training, and support. Our AI-powered platform provides free tools to launch and run campaigns, connect with voters, and serve their communities effectively — without needing a political party or big donors. What our users have in common is that they prioritize people over parties and community over special interests. We're not a political party, we're a platform and a movement to democratize democracy.

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:

- You’ll single-handedly build and own large parts of the GoodParty.org products that serve independent candidates and elected officials every day.

- You’ll iterate extremely quickly alongside our small team. You’ll regularly take rough product ideas (a sentence or two) and transform those into a working MVP in the hands of real candidates and elected officials in 1-2 days.

- You won’t manually write code, and you won’t manually review code.

- You’ll push the boundaries of what is possible with agents, both in GoodParty.org products and in your day-to-day-work.

Who we're looking for:

- You’re up for the audacious challenge of driving money out of politics and democratizing democracy.

- You have experience shipping and iterating on production AI systems with real usage. You have hands-on experience designing eval systems, building agent graphs, and doing general agent engineering.

- You are bored by most blog posts on AI and agentic engineering. You’re past that, and are interested in personally pushing the envelope by designing, building, and measuring processes and systems that actually work on your team. You believe in agentic coding because it means you can do more for users.

- You have a hard track record of single-handedly delivering internal improvements that meaningfully and measurably increase the output of everyone on your team. You obsess over projects that create leverage for the whole team.
