\nWhy you should work for ROI Developers\n\nFrequent Rotation Across Projects - If you find yourself thinking "I wish I could switch projects every 3-6 months" or "I enjoy learning new APIs", you're the right type of personality for our team.\n\nThe company specializes in custom software development. Essentially, we are a plug and play solution for mid-size businesses that require a talented team of developers. Any business in the world can benefit from software, which ensures your exposure to a wide range of industries and requirements as new projects come in. The common thread in all that variety is that our projects relate to MVC frameworks.\n\nYour income\n\nThis is a full time position paid on an hourly basis ($25 per hour for 7+ years of experience, $20 per hour for less). Said in another way, you have more control over your income.\n\nEarning money based on hourly pay means that you earn money in the exact same way that the company does: billing for time. Paying a salary would put competing incentives between the developer and the company. Instead, we tie your incentives directly in line with the company. So long as you work within our 25-35 hours per week guidelines, your income is 100% tied to how much you work.\n\nDo you do an amazing job meeting customer expectations with a minimal number of bugs? That's called job security. Customers always have their favorite developers. Make a name for yourself with quality work.\n\nROI Developers also believes that connecting income to time worked maximizes team quality. The kind of people that want to collect a salary and drag the team down are not attracted to the company. That means you will work with talented colleagues that are motivated to make you, the code and the entire team better.\n\nQuality of Life - Your work week totals 25-35 hours with 30 being the ideal amount. You can work at any time of day so long as your work hours are consistent and evenly spaced across 4-6 days per week. One of our teammates works from 11 pm - 5 am in his local time zone because that's when he wants to work. The company cares more about you working when you're at your peak mental state rather than the time of day when you work.\n\nMeetings are strictly limited to when they are necessary. Because your income is based on your time worked (which includes meetings), the company is incentivized to value and protect your work time.\n\nAn Engineer's Environment - Test driven development comes first. We do not build features until existing code passes all tests. You are assigned tasks within the repository, at which point you are expected to own the problem and fix it. Because we operate in a "no micromanaging" environment, we need a teammate that sincerely cares about the impact his/her engineering decisions will have across the project.\n\nVersion control is paramount. Commits to a project are not meant to be a fancy save button. Commits tell the team, "I have tested this feature and it's production ready."\n\nThe team practices either daily or continuous releases, depending on the project. \n\nNobody wants to get yanked out of bed to fix fires (we are not IT people on call!). Steady commits keep us looking sharp and polished to clients and keep emergencies to a minimum. We don't merge major changes or features from development branches on Fridays, for example. It's better for us and it's better for our customers.\n\nSmall Teams - The size of the company is 5 total, which we expect to number 7-8 by April. Your work is meaningful and appreciated. And because of the small team size, you have the ability to significantly influence the solutions within a project.\n\nTechnologies\n\nDjango 3.x and related apps:\n\n\n* Django REST Framework\n\n* Celery, RabbitMQ\n\n\n\n\nHTML5\n\nJavascript:\n\n\n* VUE and Vuex\n\n* Bootstrap\n\n\n\n\nDocker, Git, Cordova\n\nPostgreSQL\n\nMust haves\n\nYou must have 2+ years of direct experience with Django. Django is our MVC of choice and the technology that all developers in the organization share in common. In order to be considered for our senior level pay rate of $30/hr, you need to make your case for why you deserve to be a senior level developer.\n\nMost Django developers also work in the frontend using Javascript and HTML5. Given the choice between an expert in Django and an expert in Javascript, we would choose Django. That said, our teammates need to come on board with a strong foundation in Javascript.\n\nExperience using Git for version control.\n\nNice to haves\n\nwebpack, Docker, expertise across multiple Javascript libraries, years of experience working with multiple types of databases (especially PostgreSQL). Laravel and PHP are nice to make keep the team as a wide-ranging MVC shop, but not at all necessary.\n\nDay to Day\n\nWe intentionally avoid chatter apps like Slack or Skype. Most questions do not require an immediate reply, making threads within the repository's issue tracker our preferred method of communication. The biggest challenge for any developer is to minimize interruptions to help you spend most of your workday in the zone (ie, deep work). Keeping chatter restricted to the issue tracking system keeps conversations organized and minimizes distractions. Genuine emergencies are handled over phone calls or WhatsApp.\n\nAbout 80%+ of your time is spent architecting or writing code. The remaining time is spent on team communication - reviewing proposed solutions from teammates, clarification on requirements, etc.\n\nThe types of projects and problems you encounter are everything related to MVC frameworks. Identify business problems, abstract them into models and serve the content through a browser or mobile app. \n\n#Salary and compensation\n No salary data published by company so we estimated salary based on similar jobs related to Senior, Full Stack, Developer, Digital Nomad, JavaScript, Laravel, PHP, Git and Mobile jobs that are similar:\n\n $60,000 — $120,000/year\n

_This is a 100% remote position._\n\nWe are looking for a passionate, experienced software engineer to join our team. You will be focusing on improving and extending Ushahidi's open source tools, and developing custom solutions for clients.\n\nYou are a passionate developer with a few years of work experience and an entrepreneurial drive for international development and social justice. After hacking away at your own projects and/or busting your chops for a while in the corporate world and startups, you're looking to use your skills to develop software that has a tangible social good.\n\nNew cultures, people and experiences give you energy; you work effectively and efficiently on distributed teams with diverse experience across many time zones. Given the freedom to work anywhere, you are self-guided and can work autonomously with superior communication skills. Chaos gives you joy, order is your satisfaction.\n\n## About Ushahidi\n\nUshahidi is a crowdsourcing and data collection tool that helps communities, activists, companies, and humanitarian organizations gather and share critical information with the people that need it most. Ushahidi uses visualizations like maps and lists to help you understand what happened, when, and where.\n\nThe Ushahidi tech stack is in two parts: a RESTful API built using modern, object-oriented PHP; and a web client built using modern JS and SASS. On the backend, we use PHP components from Kohana, Aura, Symfony, and League, along with other smaller libraries. On the frontend, we use AngularJS and Bourbon, along with many other smaller libraries. Our development stack also includes phpspec, phpunit, Behat, Gulp, Browserify.\n\n## Responsibilities\n\n* Working collaboratively with a team to build and iterate on the Ushahidi platform\n* Working across the full stack from API to frontend as needed\n* Practice sustainable coding (code reviews, automated tests, Git, comments)\n\n## What We're Looking For\n\n* Experience with some or all of our JS stack: AngularJS, Browserify, Leaflet and a bunch of smaller libraries\n* Experience with some or all of our PHP stack: Kohana, Aura, Symfony, and League, along with other smaller libraries\n* Willingness to help out where you're needed: responding to coworkers, helping a community members fix a bug, or working deep in the code\n* Drive for working with and supporting our clients and customers\n* Eagerness to take feedback, grow and further your skills\n* A passion for programming and open source\n* A practice of reading and writing in technical terms, following and leaving records of technical work\n\n## Bonus Points if you..\n\n* have used or deployed Ushahidi's tools\n* have experience working on an open source product\n* love using and building beautiful maps\n* have experience with mobile app development (Android, iOS or Cordova apps)\n* have experience with Ansible or other server automation tools\n* Used any of: NodeJS, MySQL, Nginx, Vagrant, PostgreSQL, Symfony, Laravel, JS app frameworks (Backbone, React, Ember, etc), Browserify\n\n## Why You Might Be A Good Fit\n\n* Independence. Ushahidi operates under a de facto system of commander's intent. That is, the team agrees upon a goal, but how it is accomplished is left largely up to everyone. Nobody will be leaning over your shoulder telling you what to do everyday, we expect you to be able to do that yourself.\n* Team oriented. Desire to work with and support other developers in the team. We rely on team members to support each other, review each others code, and generally help each other keep winning.\n* Intrinsically motivated. Ushahidi came from Nairobi, but team members work all around the world. If you need to come into an office and talk to your boss everyday to stay motivated, this job is not for you. If all you need is a crazy cool project, wifi, and coffee, then you'll fit right in.\n* Ability to get things done and ship. We'd love you to write beautiful elegant code every time but at crunch time: getting things done matters. You'll need to pick the right balance between doing it right and doing it fast.\n* Community driven. Desire to work with the community, dig into their use cases, and help them solve problems. Ushahidi has a large and dedicated community whose needs have evolved.\n\n## Why You Might Not Be A Good Fit\n\n* We pay competitively at Ushahidi, however, keep in mind that we are still a mission driven non-profit.\n* You only want to wear one hat. Ushahidi is growing (30+ employees) but we take on the goals of much larger organizations. In practice this means that all Ushahidians end up wearing multiple hats and working on multiple projects. If that excites you, great! If you are set on never venturing out of your job title, you're going to get frustrated fast.\n* You want to be in an office surrounded by colleagues. You will most likely be operating on your own unless you are based in Nairobi, where about half our team is based.\n\nTraditionally underrepresented populations in tech such as women, People of Color, People with Disabilities, and LGBTQ+ people, etc, we strongly encourage you to apply!\n\nExtra tags: javascript, php, web, developer, open source, js \n\nPlease mention the words **MEAT ORIENT SMALL** when applying to show you read the job post completely (#RMjE2LjczLjIxNi4xMg==).
