At Measures for Justice (MFJ), we have pioneered a new way to use data to measure criminal justice system performance in America. We collect, clean, code, and analyze county-level data to provide information on the whole system from arrest to post-conviction, on a county-by-county basis. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to do good and be involved in cutting edge research and technology. We have challenged the status quo nationally and become a groundbreaker.
Measures for Justice seeks a Lead Software Developer who will be instrumental in the data engineering process by helping us to build systems and processes that help make collecting and transforming raw data files into datasets that the researchers can ingest and analyze more efficient.
