Overview
Company Description
The world of online fundraising is a dark place. We’re building data-driven tools that shine light into that darkness. There is over $16 billion donated every year to causes on the web. Our tools help grow that market by giving donors a chance to see where their funds go, and organizations a chance to see who their donors really are. Think of us as a “Get Satisfaction” for your donation online. We’re a company that seeks to make the world a better place while also making a profit.
Timeline
We are looking to hire someone to start as soon as possible on a contract basis. We’ll be building a piece of the project to test our working dynamic before committing to a full-time position with an equity stake. The initial contract will cover 8-10 weeks of work to build an early version on top a 3rd party payment API.
If we work well together and meet our goals, this is an early hire/CTO possibility.
To Apply
Send resume, cover letter, link to your blog and any writing, and links to your GitHub repository or open source projects to amie@agoodproject.com. We want to see what you’ve done so the examples are very important. We look forward to learning about you!
