Come Work With Us

ActBlue is the leading source of online funds for the Democratic Party
and an innovator in the field of grassroots politics. We build tools
that are used by hundreds of thousands of people to change the country
everyday. We're an established player (eight years strong!) gearing up
to make a huge impact on the 2012 election season....and we need you for
our team.

Don't be misled by our "so-2006" look (goes along with being one of the
oldest rails sites), we t mess around. We use best in class tools
(rails, postgresql, resque/redis, memcached, jquery, chef) and methods
(github, extensive automated testing, continuous integration,
deployment, cloud hosting) to deliver the best technology in
politics. We are collaborative. We are nimble. We are experts.

You'll be an essential contributor to a small team of professionals in
our Harvard Square office. You'll have significant responsibility right
out of the gate and a voice in designing our architecture and the
features we build. You'll have plenty of leeway to choose the best tools
and technologies to implement those features.

We offer autonomy, responsibility, an amazing workplace (full of people
geeking out about politics and tech all day), competitive salary, and a
benefits package that includes 401k, health, dental, vision,
transportation subsidies, and the opportunity to have an outsized impact
on politics. Join us.

Please send a cover letter, resume, and a GitHub URL, code sample or
portfolio to techjobs at actblue.com.
