Job Description: Role Summary

Climate Cabinet is seeking a Contract Data Engineer to enhance and maintain our vital data infrastructure and tooling. This role is pivotal in identifying and leveraging opportunities to support the election of pro-climate candidates in overlooked but impactful electoral positions, and the passage of impactful pro-climate legislation in state houses across the country.

Data Infrastructure and Pipeline Development: Design and maintain robust backend systems, data pipelines, and cloud-based storage and processing to support large-scale electoral and civic data analysis.
Data Integration and Management: Ensure the accuracy and completeness of data related to 500,000+ local offices, and regularly update our databases with external data sources like LegiScan and Open States for up-to-date legislative information, demographics, and climate data.
Application Development: Build out the internal toolset with applications that streamline operations, such as custom database interfaces for tracking electoral data and fundraising activities. 
Data Analysis and Visualization: Develop defensible, well-thought-through methodologies for calculating useful metrics. Analyze and generate data visualizations to support Political, Policy, Comms, and Development teams, enforcing high standards for analysis quality and accurate data-driven storytelling.
AI Infrastructure and Tool Development: Build out AI-powered tools and connect Climate Cabinet datasets to provide powerful self-serve policy analysis and data visualization tools to the broader team. 
The Contract Data Engineer will collaborate closely with the Tech Team, managing work via Jira and Github. This role will take the lead on specific projects that will be agreed with the team as well as provide code review and input on projects led by other team members.
