At DataMade, we’re building a new, inclusive generation of civic technologists, where the only prerequisite is curiosity and the drive to learn.
DataMade is a small company where everyone is a programmer. We practice a pattern of trade apprenticeship. That means everyone is being trained to take on the role of their manager. It’s a model that emphasizes learning, growth, and increasing scope of responsibilities.
There are three rungs in the DataMade career ladder: Developer, Lead Developer, and Partner. We generally hire Developers. The role requires some familiarity with Python or JavaScript, but it does not require professional programming experience.
In your first year as a Developer at DataMade, you’ll learn a lot about programming through increasingly difficult implementation tasks on client projects. Your primary manager and project managers will provide you support, while keeping you consistently challenged. As you grow your skills, your scope of responsibility will increase from implementing work as a Developer, to managing work as a Lead Developer, to helping decide what work the company should pursue as a Partner.
