Who We Are
At Murmuration, we believe that America’s promise is shaped and reshaped by the best ideas and ideals of its communities, and the dreams of the people who believe in a better life for themselves, their families, and each other.
We help organizations build power in their communities in four key ways: we organize a network of values-aligned partners; we provide deep, data-driven insights into people, places, and perspectives; we develop tools that make organizing and engagement easy and more effective; and we offer services that strengthen our partners’ capacity to lead change in their communities.
We envision an America where every community has what it needs to help people lead healthy, free, and dignified lives. We work to redesign the systems and structures we all depend on — how we learn, live, govern, and solve problems — so that they are just, equitable, resilient, and rooted in shared responsibility. By strengthening the ties that hold communities together, we aim for civic life defined by collective action and care, with effective leadership that truly represents everyone.
We are a collaborative, curious, and creative team of organizers, scientists, teachers, technologists, campaign veterans, and more who share the unwavering belief that we can use our gifts in service of transforming America — together. We’ve built our team guided by the belief that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. And so we support each other relentlessly — rallying together to face challenges the same way we celebrate each other’s wins.
About the Position
Do you thrive in inclusive, thoughtful environments where engineers hold themselves to high standards of technical excellence, ownership, and impact at scale?
As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll be responsible for designing, building, and evolving the systems and services that power the Organizer platform. You’ll tackle complex technical challenges, help shape architectural decisions, and play an important role in keeping our backend systems reliable, scalable, maintainable, and secure as we grow.
Your impact will go beyond the code you write. You’ll own problems from discovery through production, partnering closely with Product, Design, Engineering, and other stakeholders to turn ideas and requirements into thoughtful, effective solutions. You’ll also have opportunities to share your expertise and help raise the technical effectiveness of the engineers around you.
