AI Architect

Change.org is searching for an AI Architect. You will report to our CTO. As a key member of our Engineering team, you’ll lead through technical authority, hands-on work, and influence — not through a reporting line. You’ll operate as the org-wide technical owner for AI adoption, working across every engineering team.

Change.org is the world’s largest platform for democracy.

At a time when dissatisfaction with democracy globally is at an all-time high, we’re investing heavily in using AI to build an operating system for modern democracy. This includes our platform for giving people greater voice, a personalized voter guide for elections, and a new product which aims to bring people across the political spectrum together to identify shared solutions.

To realize this vision, we're building a team at the intersection of technology and civic engagement — bringing together top talent focused on giving citizens a direct voice, strengthening accountability, and building stronger, more resilient democracies.
