At Software for Good, we bring people and technology together to solve complex global issues such as climate change, housing, healthcare, human rights, renewable energy and education. And we are recruiting!
We are looking for new skills and perspectives to add to our team.
Software for Good is an all-remote digital agency founded in Minneapolis, and we develop web and mobile applications for clients including social enterprises, nonprofits, startups, and educational and government entities. We are looking for a full stack software engineer with a passion for building inclusive and ethical technology with positive social impact. The ideal candidate is a curious collaborator, eager to learn and experiment with new technologies and attentive to the impact of technology and the prejudices of the people who create it.
Software for Good is an equal opportunity employer and we welcome people from all communities and identities. We strive to include people from underrepresented backgrounds and would like to hear what specific talents and perspectives you could bring to our team and our work.
We are looking for a developer with a comprehensive high-level experience who is motivated to collaborate on mission-driven software.
Our ideal team member is adept at communicating with customers and colleagues, and is committed to building great software.
Candidates must have at least 5 years of experience in one or more of the following stacks: Ruby on Rails, Python/Flask, Node.js/Express or React.
Ideally, you’d also have experience with – or opinions on – some of the other technologies and tools we use, although we’re always open to new ideas.
• Front-end frameworks: React, Angular or similar
• JavaScript test libraries: test library, Enzyme, Jest or similar
• Design patterns, architecture and deployment patterns
• Development strategies: behavior driven development, test driven development, agile workflows, version control

We are also open to working with long-term entrepreneurs who have relevant experience but are not looking for full-time employment.
