Job description

Director of Engineering

GoodParty.org is looking for a Director of Engineering to help reinvent civic leadership in America. You’ll lead a rapidly growing missiondriven engineering team, ship ambitious 0 to 1 products, and integrate AI at the core of everything we build.

This is a rare chance to steer the technical strategy at a highgrowth, fully funded startup tackling one of the most urgent problems of our time. You’ll operate with autonomy, contribute code, and shape a product and engineering culture that values velocity, innovation, and impact.

In case you’ve seen similar job postings with different titles, we are only hiring for one engineering leader. The title will be commensurate with experience (Director of Engineering, Head of Engineering, or CTO). We’re also rapidly expanding our engineering team due to exciting growth and a new product launch, which is why we have so many open engineering roles posted.

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 AIpowered 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 candidates 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 a ballot 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 FlipagramTikTok and Shopzilla), GoodParty.org is building solutions so we can have a truly representative democracy where society’s biggest problems are solved.
