About the Role:

Our website is the most valuable asset we have to reach our audience. So far, many volunteer developers have contributed bits and pieces of our website code, and as a result, we have a functioning website, but we know that it could be more neat, functional, and in general, just look better (makes for easier navigation).

In this position, you may be asked to serve as a 2nd-in-Command/right-hand to our Director of Technology. As a Senior Website Developer, you will also review questions and requests from other developers volunteering with the organization.

Qualifications:

1. You must also know how to use the following tools -

• Next.js

• Strapi

• TailwindCSS

• GitHub Actions

1. Respond to messaging/emails within 24 hours and proficient in written & spoken professional/native English language skills

2. MUST be located in the United States

Duties/Tasks/Responsibilities:

• Review junior developer pull requests

• Split major projects into smaller issues to be handled

• Act as ‘project implementation lead’ on cross-departmental technology projects with other teams

• Handle major tasks (in coordination with other developers) such as the implementation or overhaul of a platform

• Help junior developers joining the team get set up and help navigate issues

• Manage our Azure cloud computing infrastructure

• Implement and optimize GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines

Time Commitment: THIS IS AN UNPAID, REMOTE #WFH VOLUNTEER POSITION. Although this is a volunteer role, given our startup-like functioning, we only seek active volunteers who are energized, ready to engage and make an impact.

Please be prepared to contribute at least 5-8 hours a week for at least the next 6 months. As we invest heavily in training each volunteer, we humbly request that if you are unable to meet this time commitment, that you do not proceed with our application further. All volunteers must attend their department’s team meeting or 1-1 meeting every week. We enforce a 24 hour response policy to promote a smooth workflow and mindfulness towards ongoing projects/deadlines that team members are working on.

We are able to accommodate volunteers who need time off for exams, work, family events, etc as long as these commitments are appropriately conveyed as soon as possible.

Benefits: Advanced Google Workspace and Canva features, the flexibility of working remotely, coaching/Q&A sessions with industry experts, resume coaching and guidance, public recognition of outstanding work on our social platforms, internal networking, and more!
