Job description

About the Org

Scale to Win is a fully-remote, progressive, political tech company founded in 2020 by organizing leaders from the Biden / Harris, Bernie 2020, Warren 2020, Bernie 2016, and Hillary for America Presidential campaigns. Our product offerings include Scale to Win Text, our “all-in-one” shortcode and longcode texting tool, and the Scale to Win Dialer, a predictive calling tool. Scale to Win also offers turnkey “We Text” services, where our team builds text campaigns, sends messages, collects data, and ensures compliance on behalf of clients.

We work with more than 3,000 Democratic and progressive campaigns and organizations, driving change. Current and past clients include the Biden-Harris campaign, the Democratic National Committee, the Working Families Party, the AFL-CIO, UFCW, MoveOn, and For Our Future.

About the Role

Engineers here tackle challenging projects—from real-time web interfaces to managing massive scale during elections (tens of thousands of requests / second, heavy write loads) and interfacing with telephony providers. You will work autonomously as well as in partnership as a Product Engineer, a part of a team of at least 6 other Senior Software Engineers, reporting to the VP of Engineering and working closely with Product Management and Product Design. You'll work on shipping features to customers that are delightful, scalable, and have the most impact for our customers' needs. Following success in the 2020, 2022, 2024, and 2025 elections, we are expanding our texting and calling tools to create best-in-class products for the fundraising and distributed organizing needs of key progressive campaigns, nonprofits, unions, and movement groups.

Key Responsibilities

Full-Stack Feature Development (50–60%)

  • Develop front-end and back-end functionality using TypeScript, React, Node.js, and Python or similar.
  • Build reliable, scalable services and user-facing features.
  • Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code.

Architecture, Quality, & Performance (20–25%)

  • Contribute to system design and technical decision-making.
  • Improve reliability, performance, and security across the stack.
  • Maintain high engineering standards through testing, code reviews, and documentation.
  • Collaboration & Delivery (15–20%)

  • Work closely with product, design, and engineering to deliver end-to-end features.
  • Participate in sprint planning, estimation, and release processes.
  • Communicate clearly, provide meaningful feedback, and support team success
  • About you

  • You write clean, readable, and maintainable code and are willing to prioritize quality to guard against errors in production.
  • You have experience with key aspects of scaling web applications—whether through software testing, release management, dev-ops, or another area of software engineering. Bonus if you have hands-on experience with PostgreSQL or cloud infrastructure. You’re comfortable joining our night and weekend on-call rotation.
  • Our primary stack is Javascript / Typescript and React, Node, and Postgres on AWS managed with Terraform - experience in all of these technologies is not required but you likely know your way around a couple of these.
  • Willingness to work some weekends and evenings, especially as we approach peak election times and experience peak volumes with our clients.
  • If you identify as belonging to a community that is underrepresented in technology companies, then we strongly encourage you to apply even if you are unsure. The organizations we work with advocate for many of these communities and we believe it’s essential that organizations should reflect the communities that they represent.
  • You’re motivated by doing work that has a positive impact on the world.
  • The offer

  • $200k yearly salary, plus discretionary bonuses during election years. As part of our commitment to equity, salaries are non-negotiable : everyone in the same role receives the same salary.
  • Generous paid vacation (up to 24 days a year with time accrued monthly); paid sick leave; paid short-term medical, caregiver, bereavement, and other personal leave.
  • 10 company holidays, 2 floating holidays, and a weeklong holiday break at the end of the year.
  • 16 weeks of paid parental leave and an additional 4 weeks of part-time, fully-paid flex time. This is available to all new parents of any gender, including adoptive parents.
  • Fully-paid premium, $0 deductible, top-notch medical insurance, as well as dental and vision insurance, for you and your dependents.
  • Remote working with flexible working conditions, a stipend to support your home office setup, and access to a company computer.
  • Every employee is invited to donate 25,000 free texts to a non-profit of their choice each year.
  • How to Apply

    To apply for this position, please visit and fill out the application. Be sure to select “Marketing & Content Manager” from the position dropdown.

  • This application will be closed on Friday, December 5, 2025. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis. At this time, we’re unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of employment visas.

    Interview Accommodations

    Scale to Win is committed to providing all candidates a respectful and inclusive interview process.

    In keeping with our beliefs and goals, no applicant will face discrimination or harassment based on race, color, ancestry, national origin, religion, age, gender, marital domestic partner status, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability status, or veteran status. Above and beyond discrimination / harassment based on “protected categories,” Scale to Win also strives to prevent other, subtler forms of inappropriate behavior (e.g., stereotyping) from ever gaining a foothold. Whether blatant or hidden, barriers to success have no place at Scale to Win.
