[LRUG] [JOBS] Roles at mySociety working on the Democratic Commons (remote)

[Louise Crow]

Hi LRUG,

We're working on a new project that's going to be scaling up over the
course of 2018 - it's called the Democratic Commons
<https://www.mysociety.org/2017/11/22/democratic-commons-open-data-infrastructure-for-democracy/>
- a grand vision where political data is open to all, for the benefit of
all. We're going to be building an open, sustainable data infrastructure
for political data on a global scale.

We've got some interesting ruby roles to fill to help us get there.

Data Pipeline Developer <https://mysociety.workable.com/jobs/613927> - an
experienced developer role, working with our team to build and maintain a
large-scale distributed architecture for sourcing and updating basic
political information

Data Analyst <https://mysociety.workable.com/jobs/613930> - a role for a
less experienced rubyist, writing scrapers and SPARQL wikidata queries to
assemble and analyse the dataset

GIS Developer <https://mysociety.workable.com/jobs/613925> - using ruby and
GIS tools to assess, improve and transform political boundary data

If you're interested, you can find out more from the role-specific links,
or do please email me if you have questions.
