Indigo is hiring a Senior Product Engineer to accelerate our work building organizing tools for progressive campaigns and organizations. OUR MISSION We believe that progressive campaigns focused on building sustained, authentic relationships with voters – rooted in voters’ material needs – are the key to systemic change in our country. In this moment of democratic backsliding and rising inequality, it’s particularly urgent that we deliver that kind of change. To that end, we're building software and data products to help Democratic campaigns and progressive organizations run voter outreach programs that are genuinely responsive to people's needs and rooted in local communities. WHAT IS INDIGO? We build software and data products for Democratic campaigns and progressive advocacy organizations. We're a small team with a culture of autonomy, consistently challenging and varied work, and concrete opportunities for major impact. At the same time, our company has built partnerships with major organizations, allowing us to avoid the financial anxiety and growing pains that many similarly-sized startups face. It's a pretty great situation! OUR PRINCIPLES We have an opinion. Our products are strictly for Democratic campaigns and progressive organizations, and they're designed to help those users run substantively better programs and win more elections. We believe in mutual respect. We've been lucky to build a team that consistently demonstrates kindness, humility, and integrity – toward each other and our users. Maintaining that culture is critical to delivering on our goals. We value diversity. We'll need to collectively bring a range of lived experiences and backgrounds to meet the needs of the candidates and advocacy organizations we intend to serve. We run a disciplined and focused operation. We aim to establish a business that's financially sustainable and whose products and roadmap are fully aligned with our mission. We believe in the power of a small but mighty team. A group of passionate, independent, multi-talented builders can have more impact than much larger teams. HOW WE BUILD We're a human-driven, agents-forward engineering team. While everything we build is rooted in human-centered planning, design, architecture, and decision-making, coding agents have become an increasingly important part of our daily workflow. That said, we're very deliberate about how we use them. Agents have helped us to accelerate our work, but it’s also a major body of work to build appropriate skills, harnesses, and review systems to ensure the agents are doing what we want them to do, and doing it well. THE ROLE The person in this role will: Turn ambiguous feature ideas into clear, well-scoped technical plans that both humans and agents can execute against Make key architecture and design decisions Work with a high level of autonomy and take ownership of major components of the product and code base Ship lots of code Collaborate with other engineers to build and maintain the scaffolding that makes agents effective in our codebase: context docs, skills, test harnesses, best practices, workflows, CI guardrails, and other tooling Review code with rigor and a strong sense for which changes or decisions merit careful human attention and which can be safely delegated to agentic review Help triage customer feedback and issues Leverage large language models to boost the pace and quality of their work: faster development, more thorough code review, more comprehensive specs and mocks, etc. Our product engineering team is responsible for developing and maintaining our web application (Matchbook) and its accompanying external API, as well as part of our data pipeline. Our stack includes React, GraphQL, Django, Postgres, dbt, BigQuery, and Google Cloud. We don’t require familiarity with our specific stack, but you should have experience using a comparable modern web development stack in a production environment. WHAT TO EXPECT If you join our team, you'll be coding on day one, shipping code in week one, and directly contributing to the success of the progressive movement in this election cycle and beyond. REMOTE ENVIRONMENT Indigo is a remote organization with team members distributed around the United States. We'll hire the best people from anywhere in the country and support a remote working environment that's flexible, transparent, and trusting. COMPENSATION The salary for this role will be $170,000-$215,000 per year. BENEFITS Indigo covers 100% of health, dental, and vision coverage for employees and 80% for dependents Employer-provided long-term disability and life insurance 21 days of paid time off plus federal holidays Unlimited sick leave 16 weeks paid parental leave for parents of any gender, including adoptive parents 401(K) match with immediate vesting ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS We're generally looking for candidates with: Demonstrated interest in and passion for progressive politics: we’re all here because we care deeply about our country and we believe that our work will play a critical role in the fight to defend democracy. At least several years of experience as an engineer building a live product Comfort working across a typical web stack, including the front end, back end / API, database, and infrastructure Meaningful experience successfully leveraging coding agents and harnesses (Claude Code, Codex, or similar) to strengthen and accelerate projects that have been deployed to customers at scale A track record of designing clear technical plans and specs, and of decomposing large projects into work that can be delegated and verified Excellent oral and written communication skills. In that vein, please write your cover letter in your own words (using an LLM for light copy editing is fine). High emotional intelligence and empathy: the mutual respect and honesty underlying our relationships is our team’s greatest asset. Some experience and comfort stepping a bit outside of your engineering role. We’re a small team with no formal product manager, designer, or UX researcher, and we expect our engineers to exercise end-to-end ownership and think through (and have an opinion on) the user-facing implications of every engineering decision. Strong code review instincts: you can spot subtle bugs, weak abstractions, and quiet scope creep in code you didn't write. Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, startup-like environment: we work reasonable hours and maintain a healthy work/life balance, but our development process moves quickly and our team members often wear multiple hats.
