About the Working Families Party
The Working Families Party (WFP) is the progressive party for the multiracial working class, fighting for a nation that works for the many, not the few. We recruit, train, and support transformational candidates up and down the ballot — and run them to win.
We believe that no matter where we come from or what our color, most of us want the same things. We want to earn enough to thrive, not just survive, and leave a better future for our kids. We want healthy food and clean water, safe neighborhoods and a safe world. We want to be free.
The Working Families Party is regular people coming together across our differences to make a better future for us all. We’re a multiracial party that fights for workers over bosses and people over the powerful. We want an America which realizes the promise – unrealized in our history – of freedom and equality for all.
The Data Systems Engineer will lead the architecture, implementation, and maintenance of complex data systems that power Working Families Party’s and Working Families Power’s organizing, analytics, and automations infrastructure. This role goes beyond traditional ETL responsibilities to encompass the full data stack— including principally data engineering, workflow automation, cloud infrastructure and web applications. The Data Systems Engineer will partner closely with the Engineering Director to design, scope, and build robust, scalable, and secure systems that move, transform, and surface data in ways that meaningfully support campaigns and organizing work nationwide. You’ll work on everything from ingestion (APIs / BigQuery mirrors) → transformation (dbt / Python) → pipeline orchestration (Prefect) → serving (Flask UIs).This is a senior-level position for a systems thinker with strong independent engineering judgment, the ability to own projects end-to-end, and a desire to work at the intersection of technology and progressive electoral organizing.
