Who We Are
The Marshall Project is a nonprofit news organization dedicated to covering the U.S. criminal justice system.
We were awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 2016 and 2021. We have also been honored with the Goldsmith Prize, multiple National Magazine Awards, and an award for General Excellence from the Online Journalism Awards. We are not advocates — we follow the facts and do not pander to any audience — but we have a declared mission: to create and sustain a sense of urgency about the criminal justice system.
We do not generally cover breaking news, although we curate the reporting of other news outlets in our morning newsletter. Our work includes investigative and explanatory projects and shorter pieces aimed at highlighting stories that other news organizations miss, underestimate or misunderstand. To ensure our work reaches a larger audience, we partner with other media outlets; we have worked with more than 200 newspapers, magazines, broadcasters and online sites.
We are seeking a part-time software engineer to temporarily join our product team. This is a 16-hour-per-week position running for four months and beginning as soon as possible. We like working with people who are thoughtful, curious, and kind, have informed opinions on their craft, and a willingness to both take feedback and advocate for the integrity of their work. You will report directly to our Director of Product and work closely with our product team and stakeholders across the newsroom.
Example Duties and Responsibilities:
Required skills and Experiences:
