JustFix.nyc is seeking an experienced engineer to join us on our mission to build technology that serves low-income New Yorkers. We build data-driven tools for tenants and advocates fighting displacement. By combining highly scalable SMS and mobile services with advanced housing data analysis, we aim to build and galvanize a 21st century tenant movement. Our goal is safe and healthy homes for all.
Compensation is competitive and will include salary and full health/vision/dental insurance. Our dog-friendly (and people-friendly!) office is based in Lower Manhattan.
At JustFix.nyc, we have spent the past three years building technology for housing justice. Our webapp for tenants with repair issues has been used by thousands of families across the city to document their situations and build strong legal cases. Our advocate dashboard, in use by over 40 community organizations and legal services, connects those in need with advocacy and community organizing services anywhere in the City. We're currently working with Open Data to develop groundbreaking new ways to identify patterns of displacement and target some of the city's worst slumlords.
You will be joining our growing engineering team at a critical time as we scale our services and begin to integrate with official NYC technologies. You will join a larger community of technologists, data scientists, and policymakers who are creating new models of civic technology and data-driven analysis. This is a chance to build and design across a spectrum of accessibility and internet connectivity, presenting unique engineering challenges.
