Recidiviz is thrilled to be hiring an Implementation Engineer to join our team! We’re a small, fast-moving group that partners with state governments to identify opportunities for impact in the criminal justice space. That’s where you come in. We’re looking for an empathetic, fast learner who is excited to own relationships with our state partners’ data teams and prepare raw data for analytics and product development.
About us
Recidiviz is creating safer, healthier communities by improving outcomes for justice-involved people. We build tech that reduces the number of people in prison and helps criminal justice leaders embrace data-driven decision-making.
Using modern data infrastructure and thoughtful product design, we’ve been able to safely and permanently reduce incarceration and improve outcomes. We work side-by-side with leaders of the criminal justice system, justice-impacted individuals, and ecosystem partners to build a better path forward. In addition to the revenue we earn from state partners, some of the most respected philanthropists and foundations support our work.
People who succeed at Recidiviz assume good intent, fix problems when they see them, learn from failure, creatively unstick themselves, and lead with kindness and humility.
About the role
At the core of our work is a process we call ingest: consuming data from various siloed data sources, normalizing and cleaning it, linking it together, and ultimately preparing it for Recidiviz analytics and product development. For each state we work with, there is an up-front process to define the data integration layer that powers ingest for that state, test the integration configuration, and validate the results of our ingest and calculation processes. When integration for a state is completed, we can begin our work to improve the outcomes of the state’s justice systems in earnest. This ingest process is a critical and high impact role that is the chief responsibility of Implementation Engineers at Recidiviz.
We are looking for people who can reason about complex datasets and data models, develop sophisticated data transformations, think clearly about systems, and communicate effectively with diverse stakeholders, including external government partners. Just as important, the right person for this role has a collaborative and kind nature, is comfortable taking agency, and can thrive in a dynamic workplace where no two days are the same.
