Senior Link Builder Specialist driving scalable off - page SEO initiatives. Responsible for acquiring high - quality backlinks and expanding the company's digital footprint across platforms.
About the role
- Staff Technologist responsible for technology solutions supporting advocacy at Worth Rises. Collaborating across teams and leading technical strategies for public-facing tools.
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain the technical infrastructure behind our public-facing research tools and technology solutions.
- Own the systems that power our public-facing technology.
- Execute and advise on technical strategy for new tools.
- Coordinate with external technology partners to expand what our small but mighty research team can do.
- Create documentation, including well-structured READMEs, clear docstrings, and data dictionaries, that make tech tools and solutions legible to colleagues and future maintainers.
- Serve as the in-house technical lead for Open Connect, coordinating the development of the platform with the support of external developers, fellows, and contractors.
- Support the build through launch, collecting feedback from a small set of advisors and owning ongoing maintenance.
- Connect with Advocacy, Narrative, and Operations teams to understand their needs and scope an internal dashboard.
- Build and maintain an internal dashboard that can both support day-to-day activities and track our organizational goals and impact metrics.
Requirements
- At least five years of experience as an engineer or developer with a portfolio of tech tools and solutions built from scratch, including at least one example of a shipped public-facing tool, map, or data product that demonstrates attention to usability for non-technical audiences.
- Demonstrated ability to bridge technical and non-technical contexts; able to assess a codebase, identify what matters, and communicate trade-offs clearly to colleagues without a technical background.
- Proficiency in Python for data work, with working knowledge of libraries like pandas for data transformation, scraping tools such as BeautifulSoup, Scrapy, or Playwright for sites that require browser automation.
- Experience calling and working with external APIs, including LLM APIs and geocoding for structured data extraction and transformation.
- Experience with Airtable, with the ability to evaluate when to use which and migrate to other no-code/low-code platforms.
- Familiarity with data validation and normalization techniques, including entity resolution and record linkage for matching messy records across sources (e.g., variations of the same corporate name or facility); experience with libraries like fuzzywuzzy, dedupe, or recordlinkage is a plus.
- Experience scheduling and automating recurring data jobs using GitHub Actions or comparable CI/CD tooling, and comfort with containerized deployment environments (Docker, AWS ECS/Fargate, or equivalent) sufficient to run, update, and monitor a production pipeline.
- Comfort extracting data from non-standard sources, ideally including PDFs (using tools like pdfplumber or tabula-py) and scanned documents.
- Precision and care across every step of the data pipeline, from scraping through publishing, with an understanding that journalists, policymakers, organizers, and impacted families rely on the credibility of our public-facing tools.
- Strong project management skills, technical judgment, and the ability to scope realistically — knowing when to build, when to outsource, and when to push back on a project's scope.
- Strong instinct for usability — what makes a public-facing tool clear, intuitive, and trustworthy for a non-technical user landing on it cold.
Benefits
- Healthcare: 100% employer-paid medical, vision, and dental coverage, plus a one-time reimbursement of up to $5,000 for family planning expenses.
