At the intersection of innovation and influence, Quorum is pioneering the development of Generative AI technology that revolutionizes data analysis and utilization in government affairs. Our latest product, Quorum Copilot, is designed to navigate the vast expanse of political data - including 120,000 bills from 50 state legislatures, over 100,000 social media posts related to your issues, 10,000 documents, and more than 100 hours of testimony from Capitol Hill.
In today's fast-paced world, there's too much information and not enough time to process it all. Quorum Copilot aims to ensure that professionals in public affairs and policy advocacy never miss a mention or misinterpret vital information. By boosting productivity, transforming workflows, and saving time on daily activities, Quorum Copilot empowers teams to focus on what truly matters, enhancing creativity and decision-making.

As a Senior Data Engineer on the Quorum Copilot project, you will lead the effort to build and scale the data infrastructure that underpins our AI analysis tool. Working alongside a team of software engineers, product managers, and product designers you'll ensure our data systems are scalable, efficient, and primed for supporting advanced Generative AI and machine learning models at an unprecedented scale.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Architect and implement highly scalable advanced Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) data pipelines to support the aggregation and analysis of legislative bills, social media posts, documents, and testimonial content.
  • Design robust data pipelines that enable real-time processing and analysis of vast datasets to inform public affairs strategies and decision-making.
  • Design and implement data cleansing and transformation pipelines to power the AI product.
  • Lead cloud-based deployments, primarily in AWS, ensuring optimal performance, security, and cost-efficiency.
  • Innovate and iterate on data architecture to support Quorum Copilot's dynamic needs, ensuring the product remains at the cutting edge of AI-driven public affairs tools.
  • Drive build vs buy, tool selection, and solution trade-off analysis using standard engineering principles.

About the Software Development Team

  • Our fast-growing remote-first team is dedicated to improving our people, processes, and platform. The 100+ team comprises different functions, including software engineering, Product Management, Product Design, QA, DevOps/SRE, and an Information Security team.
  • We support many different products but internally think of them as one system with a single unified codebase. We aim to build centralized systems that handle complex problems for multiple features and products.
  • We’re focused on doing the important things correctly -- we write solid documentation, test our code well, design for scale, and follow defined software development processes.
  • We follow best-in-class security practices to safeguard our data and applications against bad actors. We regularly test and update processes and technology to fight complacency because we know good security is a continuous effort.
  • We curate high-quality datasets essential for effective mapping and tracking of government and public affairs spaces. Our datasets underpin our promise to give users the information necessary to make smart decisions that influence policy.
  • We set rigorous quality standards and monitor them with a mix of programmatic and manual verifications to ensure users maintain a high degree of trust in our systems.
  • We’re very close as a team and invest not only in each others’ skills and careers but also in building real relationships with one another: product development is a team sport and we believe that it’s better (and more fun) to work on a team of people that you know well and care about.

Our Work Environment
We are a remote-first team with flexible work options: work remotely, or you may choose to come into our office in Belo Horizonte.

Quorum Is Working to Advance Pay Equity: What Does That Mean For You?
In an effort to continue to build a diverse and inclusive work environment that advances pay equity, Quorum has implemented a “No Negotiation” policy for base salary for new hires for roles that are currently staffed by three or more team members. This means that candidates for the Fullstack Software Engineer II role cannot negotiate Quorum’s base salary offer.
Here’s our promise to you:
We will not ask you what you are currently earning.
We will consider years of relevant experience, relevant professional certifications/education, and performance expectations in setting what we believe is a competitive, fair base salary offer.
We will be transparent about our compensation structure (see above) so that all candidates have equal access to compensation information and can make an informed decision about whether or not Quorum is the right workplace for them.
If you are interested in learning more about how negotiation impacts pay equity and/or why other start-ups have decided to implement a “No Negotiation” policy of some type, here are a few resources: Project Include, AAUW, Ministry for Women, Magoosh.
Note: Quorum does not endorse or verify any of the information provided in the resources on the impact of negotiation on pay equity. We provide these resources simply to increase awareness of a topic we believe is important for both employers and candidates to consider.  
We comply with all requirements for US government federal contractors issued by the OFCCP, IFR, and the terms of our government contracts.

SELF-IDENTIFICATION OF VETERAN STATUS 

Quorum is a Government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended by the Jobs for Veterans Act of 2002, 38 U.S.C. 4212 (VEVRAA), which requires Government contractors to take affirmative action to employ and advance in employment: (1) disabled veterans; (2) recently separated veterans; (3) active duty wartime or campaign badge veterans; and (4) Armed Forces service medal veterans.

These classifications are defined as follows: A “disabled veteran” is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability. A “recently separated veteran” means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran’s discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service. An “active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran” means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense. An “Armed forces service medal veteran” means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985. 

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed above, please indicate by making the appropriate selection for the veteran status question below.

VOLUNTARY SELF-IDENTIFICATION OF DISABILITY

Form CC-305 / OMB Control Number 1250-0005 / Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
