DocumentCloud | Data Engineer | Remote (we're in -0500 & -0400 UTC) | Full-time We're hiring a full-time remote dev to focus on our document/data analysis & processing stack. DocumentCloud is a collaborative tool for analyzing and publishing documents. Journalists have used DocumentCloud in world-changing reporting from the first publicly posted Snowden documents to the Ferguson Grand Jury documents. We're opening our platform to the public because document analysis isn't just a journalist's problem. So, your focus with our tech lead (that's me) will be on our document processing capabilities as we implement new ways to extract data from documents, and tighten down the efficiency & scalability of our current tools. DocumentCloud is a polyglot Rails/Backbone stack, with some processing components written in Java & C++. We do what it takes to turn documents into data, and you're guaranteed to learn a lot on the job! We write FOSS code that's directly connected to the public good. (We're where Backbone.js & Underscore.js came from & you can check out our other projects here: https://github.com/documentcloud) Drop us a line at jobs@documentcloud.org (This is a full-time remote job with excellent benefits & sane expectations of work-life balance.)
