GoodParty.org is looking for a Staff AI Product 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 without needing to be a people manager: shaping architecture, setting patterns, building across the stack, and pushing our 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 will single-handedly build and own large parts of the GoodParty.org products that serve independent candidates and elected officials every day.
You will iterate extremely quickly. You’ll regularly take rough product ideas (a sentence or two) and transform those into a working MVP in 1-2 days. Then, you’ll ask “how could I have done this in 1-2 hours?”
You won’t manually write code, and you won’t manually review code.
You will 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 have hard 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 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 like this that create leverage for the whole team.
You are skilled at the whole remote communication thing. In chaotic situations, you are a clarity-creator.
Bonus if:
You have professional or volunteer experience in civic tech, democracy reform, political campaigns, or social impact initiatives.
Why you should work at GoodParty.org:
Join a passionate team with diverse political views focused on one mission. Our values are: People First. Direct, Open, and Honest. Empowered Ownership. Iterate for Impact. Fun Is Fuel.
We're a Public Benefit Corporation that prioritizes social impact over profit.
Innovative Bitcoin denominated deferred bonus plan, allowing you to have the amazing upside of being in a startup while working on a truly meaningful mission.
Work where and how you like, on a fully remote team spread across the country.
100% coverage of health, dental, and vision benefits for you and your dependents.
We encourage you to take time off to recharge and have an unlimited PTO (sick and vacation) policy. This is a marathon, not a sprint. We believe a work-life balance is needed to get there.
401(k) program available so you can contribute toward retirement savings (no employer match).
Individual learning & development budget to fund your growth.
We'll make sure you've got what you need to work remotely through our workspace setup stipend.
If you work from home, we give $50/month to help with your internet and other expenses. If you prefer co-working, that's an option we can discuss too.
Fully funded for our mission. No stressing over whether the next round of funding will come through. Focus on making an impact. That's what matters here.
The salary range is $200,000 - 235,000 for this remote, full-time position with excellent benefits. This range reflects the range of possible compensation for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range. An employee's position within the salary range will be based on several factors including, but not limited to, relevant experience, skills, seniority, education, qualifications, certifications, and organizational needs. We reserve the right to modify this pay range at any time.
We are not considering candidates currently based outside of the US, so please only apply if you are physically located in the US. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide sponsorship for any of our roles at this time.
