DocumentCloud | Data Engineer | Remote (we're in -0500 &amp; -0400 UTC) |  Full-time
We're hiring a full-time remote dev to focus on our document/data analysis &amp; 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 &amp; scalability of our current tools.
DocumentCloud is a polyglot Rails/Backbone stack, with some processing components written in Java &amp; 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 &amp; Underscore.js came from &amp; you can check out our other projects here: <a href=")

(This is a full-time remote job with excellent benefits &amp; sane expectations of work-life balance.)
