Volunteer Front-end Developer
Volunteer Jr Front-end Developer
About DigLit
Technology doesn't work for nonprofits. Technology requires access to capital that nonprofits do not have access to. In addition to this, many nonprofits have budgets that simply do not allow for technology upkeep.
DigLit is a unique solution to this problem. Our organization acts as the engineering branch of every nonprofit who seeks our help, regardless of their size. We build custom software solutions to strengthen nonprofits, but where other organizations release themselves of responsibility once the technology is built, we deploy and maintain the technology for its expected lifespan.
About the position
We’re looking for a front-end developer who is capable of building robust applications in a team oriented environment. The ideal candidate is someone who is open to learning new technologies and best practices, and can champion new ways of building software.
Your responsibilities will include:
Writing well designed, testable, and efficient code
Working in an agile environment
Peer reviewing code to ensure quality contributions
Documenting changes and contributions to ensure a smooth release cycle
This position is fully remote. Our expectation of the role is that it will require no more than 5-10 hours of work a week, but this will probably fluctuate a little based on the stage of the project.
Essential qualifications for this role:
Experience working with APIs
Solid understanding of git and the various deployment levels of a git repo
Knowledge of web and server technology
Experience with React.js
Experience with JS toolsets (ES6+, Webpack, Babel, Jest, Protractor)
Knowledge of accessibility practices
Nice-to-haves:
A history or strong desire to work with nonprofits
An academic understanding of software engineering
Excellent communication skills
Stays up to date with industry best practices
