About Tavern Research
About Tavern Research is a political tech startup that builds tools and insights to help our customers win elections and make better decisions. We specialize in scaling expert human work, like content generation and survey research. We're a venture-backed, mission driven, fast-moving, mostly technical team focused on supporting winning campaigns. Everything else is on our website. (If you still have questions, let us know when you apply!).
About You
You're curious, adaptable and are excited by AI’s real-world impact and taking on hard problems. You thrive in high-stakes environments, learning on the fly, and delivering under pressure. Skills matter more than credentials (we don’t care if you dropped out of school), and political experience is a plus but not required. If our mission at Tavern Research resonates with you, we encourage you to apply — even if you don’t check every box!
About The Role
- Analyzing survey data
- Writing about surveys or randomized trials
- Organizing data to help with measurement and prediction
- Building models
- Researching techniques to improve our work
- Reviewing your colleague’s analyses
We’re looking for candidates passionate about measurement, machine learning, causal inference, and applying novel techniques that are unlocked by new technology such as generative AI. You’ll spend your days on some combination of the above tasks.
We believe that it’s crucial to be transparent about uncertainty both among ourselves and with our customers. In other words, you should have both a zeal for data and skepticism about inference based on only what can be observed and measured.
Qualifications
- Expertise in scientific Python
- Experience working with survey data
- Experience with causal inference
- Previous work experience
- Our company is small right now and we have preference for folks who don’t require on-the-job training.
- To be explicit, you don’t need a degree to work here. You just need to be good at the things we’re asking from you.
Benefits
- Premium health insurance
- Unlimited PTO, office closed for all federal holidays
- 401k match
Tavern Research is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
