Job Description

Are you a mission-driven technologist eager to use your skills for real civic impact? Join GoodParty.org to build AI-powered tools that empower everyday people—not career politicians—to run for office and win. You’ll help scale a platform already transforming democracy from the ground up. About GoodParty.org: GoodParty.org is on a mission to make people matter more than money in our democracy by empowering independent candidates to run, win, and serve. Our AI-powered platform provides free tools to independent candidates to run their campaigns, connect with voters, and serve their communities effectively. A majority of eligible voters, including more than half of Millennials and Gen Z, say that neither Republicans nor Democrats represent them. GoodParty.org is the solution. In 2024 we empowered 3,444 independent candidate wins across 48 states from all across the ideological spectrum. The only things our elected officials have in common is that they prioritize people over parties and community over corporate interests. In 2024, 40.3 million votes (26% of all voters) cast for our candidates. 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: Design and develop intuitive, inclusive, and accessible tools that function seamlessly across desktop and mobile web platforms, empowering candidates and elected officials to take effective action.

Identify and maintain pixel-perfect, site-wide design standards to ensure a consistent and engaging user experience. Collaborate with our lean, agile team working directly with product, design, and QA teams. Report directly to the CTO, contributing to strategic decisions and the overall direction of our technology stack.
