　　About the Software Development Team

　　We’re a fast-growing team that is dedicated to improving our people, processes, and platform. The multi-cultural team is composed of a DevOps team, the software engineering team, the Product Management team, the Product Design team, and an Information Security team.

　　We support many different products but internally think of them as one system with a single unified codebase. Our goal is to build centralized systems that handle complex problems for multiple features and products.

　　We’re focused on doing the important things the right way -- we write solid documentation, test our code well, design for scale, and follow defined software development processes.

　　We follow best-in-class security practices to safeguard our data and application against bad actors. We regularly test and update processes and technology to fight complacency, because we know good security is a continuous effort.

　　We curate high-quality datasets that are essential for effective mapping and tracking of the government and public affairs spaces. Our datasets underpin our promise to give users the information necessary to make smart decisions that influence policy.

　　We set rigorous quality standards and monitor them with a mix of programmatic and manual verifications to ensure users maintain a high degree of trust in our systems.

　　We’re very close as a team and invest not only in each others’ skills and careers but also in building real relationships with one another: product development is a team sport and we believe that it’s better (and more fun) to work on a team of people that you know well and care about.

　　Our Work Environment

　　Quorum Is Working to Advance Pay Equity: What Does That Mean For You?

　　In an effort to continue to build a diverse and inclusive work environment that advances pay equity (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/four-ways-advance-pay-equity-your-organization-melissa-theiss/) , Quorum has implemented a “No Negotiation” policy for base salary for new hires for roles that are currently staffed by three or more team members. This means that candidates for the Ruby Developer role cannot negotiate Quorum’s base salary offer.

　　Here’s our promise to you:

　　We will not ask you what you are currently earning.

　　We will consider years of relevant experience, relevant professional certifications/education, and performance expectations in setting what we believe is a competitive, fair base salary offer.

　　We will be transparent about our compensation structure (see above) so that all candidates have equal access to compensation information and can make an informed decision about whether or not Quorum is the right workplace for them.

　　If you are interested in learning more about how negotiation impacts pay equity and/or why other start-ups have decided to implement a “No Negotiation” policy of some type, here are a few resources: Project Include (https://projectinclude.org/) , AAUW (https://www.aauw.org/research/the-simple-truth-about-the-gender-pay-gap/) , Ministry for Women (https://women.govt.nz/nacew/information/develop-your-workplace-negotiation-skills/why-negotiation-issue-women) , Magoosh (https://magoosh.com/blog/why-we-dont-negotiate-salary/) .

　　Note: Quorum does not endorse or verify any of the information provided in the resources on the impact of negotiation on pay equity. We provide these resources simply to increase awareness of a topic we believe is important for both employers and candidates to consider.
