Senior Product Engineer

About Reach

Reach Progress PBC is building an app that helps progressive organizations harness their people-power like never before. Since we first built the product on the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez campaign in 2018, over 100,000 organizers across 1000 campaigns, labor unions, and non-profits have used the tool. In the coming months, we are designing and building out features which will make the app an even more critical part of the progressive organizing toolkit of some of the largest and highest profile campaigns this cycle. We are in the process of expanding technical and support infrastructure accordingly.

We are a fast-moving, boldly progressive Public Benefit Corporation based in Queens, NY. Our fully-remote team is made up of passionate activists, engineers, designers, and organizers who have come together to build a product we all care deeply about. Our customers are the candidates, campaigns, and organizations who are building the future and fighting for social, racial, economic, and environmental justice. Our users are the grassroots activists that are changing the word.

You are passionate about progressive politics and comfortable in a deeply political atmosphere. We’re a mission-driven company, and everything we do is guided by political impact and custom-built for the progressive movement. Politics are an integral part of everyday life at Reach.
