You’ll be working on a mix of interesting projects for mission-driven organizations, and be counted upon to solve problems in code, and work in a team context using agile methodologies.

You’re a glass half full type of person.

Full-time applicants are preferred, but we are open to contract and part time opportunities. Applicants must live in North America. No recruiters.
