About the Position
As a Senior Research Engineer, you will leverage your extensive engineering expertise and sound judgment to make informed architectural choices. You will spearhead intricate projects within Murmuration’s research and data science infrastructure, designing, developing, and maintaining the platforms and tools that empower our researchers, data scientists, and partners to work more efficiently and at scale. Your ability to deconstruct vague challenges, balance speed with sustainability, and deliver dependable systems will ensure the long-term success of our initiatives.
Your role will place you at the nexus of engineering and enablement, collaborating closely with teams across Research, Data Science, Product Development, and Growth to create the systems that drive our understanding and activation of civic engagement in America. In addition to your technical contributions, you will uplift the team through mentorship, technical leadership, and the establishment of best practices that enhance collective effectiveness.
The Research Engineering Team is dedicated to developing systems that amplify the impact of our researchers, data scientists, and network. Our goal is to transform a research question that typically takes three days to resolve into one that can be answered in three minutes—scaling model evaluations from millions to billions without manual intervention, and making advanced analytics accessible to journalists and decision-makers who lack data expertise. Join us in building these transformative platforms and tools.
