Web Developer
Position Description
Our Sci is seeking a collaborative web developer to work with developers, designers, project managers and clients to build web applications. Responsibilities include writing and debugging code in Javascript, Typescript, HTML, CSS, and VueJS. Additional skills not required but welcome!
Our Sci supports the development of research capacity in communities through software, hardware, and training. Using SurveyStack.io, our communities can flexibly collect, share, and visualize data in a way not possible through other services. SurveyStack allows users to code directly in JS within their surveys to create visualizations and manipulate data to provide real-time feedback to support their research goals.
While this is a junior position, we are looking for someone who is passionate about what we’re passionate about and is looking for a long-term position with us.
Why we are different
We are a small startup passionate about supporting community-driven science and we are building a fully open source future to provide that support. We also think that only through radical collaboration can we achieve our goals, that’s why we are active in the GOSH and GOAT and OpenTEAM communities. If you feel programming is a means to an end in shifting the world towards transparency and ‘free as in freedom’ thinking, we may be a good fit!
As a supporter of communities, we also recognize the importance diversity plays in understanding and reflecting the needs of those we serve. We also all personally enjoy working with colleagues who have wide ranging life experiences and appreciate the opportunity that affords all of us to learn and grow. As such, we are committed to prioritizing diversity within our organization.
