About the Software Development TeamWe’re a fast-growing team that is dedicated to improving our people, processes, and platform.

Our goal is to build centralized systems that handle complex problems for multiple features and products.We’re focused on doing the important things the right way -- we write solid documentation, test our code well, design for scale, and follow defined software development processes.We follow best-in-class security practices to safeguard our data and application against bad actors. We regularly test and update processes and technology to fight complacency, because we know good security is a continuous effort.We curate high-quality datasets that are essential for effective mapping and tracking of the government and public affairs spaces. Our datasets underpin our promise to give users the information necessary to make smart decisions that influence policy.We set rigorous quality standards and monitor them with a mix of programmatic and manual verifications to ensure users maintain a high degree of trust in our systems.We’re very close as a team and invest not only in each others’ skills and careers but also in building real relationships with one another: product development is a team sport and we believe that it’s better (and more fun) to work on a team of people that you know well and care about.
