## Job description

If you're interested in joining Civitech in a product or engineering role but do not see a position that matches your skillset, please apply here. We'll keep your information on file and will reach out if we find a match!

Our software engineering team at Civitech is the backbone of our mission to build technology that helps people run smarter political campaigns and solve big data problems at scale. We are committed to identifying and building technological solutions that allow political campaigns and progressive advocacy organizations to: aggregate data across all of the tools they are currently using, visualize voters by geography, integrate behavioral data into voter profile, and reach users where they are at.

About Civitech: Civitech is an Austin, Texas based startup that is applying modern technology-based solutions to civic problems. We are building elegant, usable interfaces that will help people run for public office, make it easier for volunteers to get involved in the civic arena, and offer modern solutions for local governments to better provide services to their constituents.

Civitech simplifies the process of launching and running a campaign, from fundraising to voter outreach. Political campaigns are expensive and inefficient, frequently spending their limited resources reaching out to the same people over and over because the existing software solutions don’t talk to each other. Civitech integrates with the existing software solutions, simplifies the big picture of a campaign, and uses social media and voter registration to reach out to voters who are frequently left out of the process.

Civitech provides equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, marital status, amnesty, or status as a covered veteran in accordance with applicable federal, state and local laws.
