Movement Labs Software Engineering Fellowship (Fully Remote)

About Movement Labs

At Movement Labs, our mission is to build a country that works for everyone.

Movement Labs offers Fellows the opportunity to gain skills and knowledge across the full array of activities in progressive political power building. We serve as an incubator for missing pieces of political infrastructure, combining data, technology and experimental methods to build power. We use peer-to-peer texting to help grassroots organizing, recruit candidates to run for office, and help those candidates win. We look for opportunities to work in red and rural areas, and with communities that have too often been ignored.

Movement Labs seeks exceptionally ambitious, hard-working young people from diverse backgrounds interested in entering a long-term career building political power for marginalized communities. We are currently collecting resumes to support our Fellowship program. We are seeking additional technology fellows immediately.

We want to get to know you, your interests, and why you want to work with us. We will reach out on a rolling basis to individuals who may be a good fit for open Fellowship positions. Please submit your resume and note the department that interests you, along with a second choice. We are gathering resumes for all teams and at all levels of experience and skill.

Movement Labs is an equal opportunity employer with a commitment to economic and social justice. Women, people of color, LGBTQ people, people with disabilities, and members of other historically disenfranchised populations are strongly encouraged to apply. If you require accommodations as part of the hiring process, please contact [email protected]. This is a fully remote position.

Priority will be given to candidates that apply before March 6th.
