Product & Engineering
Building the Future of Civic Transparency
At Civic Sunlight, we believe local government decisions shouldn’t be buried in hours of video—they should be searchable, accessible, and instantly useful to journalists, researchers, and civic organizations. Our platform turns raw meeting transcripts into structured intelligence, surfacing key discussions on zoning, public funding, and policy shifts without the endless playback.
But making local government transparent at scale isn’t easy. It requires a technical foundation that can process messy, unstructured data, extract meaning, and deliver real-time insights—all while ensuring accuracy, reliability, and usability. That’s where you come in.
If you’re passionate about NLP, AI-driven transcription, and building tools that transform unstructured data into actionable intelligence, we’d love to connect.
Technical Excellence
Our work requires cutting-edge data processing—from large-scale transcription to searchable insights. Whether it’s NLP, vector search, or API development, we need builders who can turn raw government data into structured intelligence.
Scalable & Searchable Systems
We’re working with high-volume public data that needs to be processed, stored, and retrieved efficiently. Expertise in data pipelines, indexing, search models, and structured query frameworks is key.
Real-World AI Impact
AI isn’t just theoretical here—it’s driving how journalists and researchers access government data. If you’re experienced in text analysis, summarization models, or entity recognition, your work can have real civic impact.
GROWTH & CUSTOMER SUCCESS
Expanding Access to Civic Intelligence
At Civic Sunlight, we believe local government decisions should be easy to find, search, and understand—not buried in hours of meeting videos. Journalists, policy researchers, and advocacy groups need fast, reliable access to civic discussions before decisions are made, not after.
Our platform extracts key topics from government meetings, but technology alone isn’t enough. We need people who understand newsrooms, public policy, and civic research to help integrate our tools into workflows that drive impact. Transparency is only useful if it’s accessible.
If you’re passionate about supporting journalism, shaping civic engagement, and making local government more transparent, we’d love to connect.
Understanding of Journalism & Policy
We work directly with newsrooms, media organizations, and policy researchers to ensure they can access and use government data efficiently. If you understand newsroom workflows, research methodologies, or civic data access, your insights can shape how we build and improve Civic Sunlight.
Expanding Our Reach
Civic Sunlight is designed to serve news organizations, advocacy groups, and research institutions. We’re looking for people who can build partnerships, gather feedback, and ensure adoption—without feeling like salespeople. This is about trust, relationships, and long-term impact.
