At Akvo we believe that sustainable change will happen faster if governments and non-governmental organizations become more effective, accountable and collaborative. With a team of data and development experts, an open-source data platform and a proven methodology, we help power decisions to achieve inclusive and sustainable impact.
As a front end developer at Akvo, you will take a leading role on front end work on the open-source data platform. You will mainly contribute to Akvo Lumen (https://github.com/akvo/akvo-lumen), a JavaScript SPA built using React and a Clojure backend, continuously deployed using Kubernetes but also work on Akvo Flow (https://github.com/akvo/akvo-flow), another SPA built with the Ember framework (currently being migrated to React) and a Java backend.
You will be part of the development team with most team members distributed geographically across Europe. You will work closely with the design team and report to the Team lead.
Together with our diverse team, you are driven by creating valuable products that enhance Akvo’s impact. You are ok figuring things out yourself and know when to involve the rest of the team. You always keep pushing to understand why certain things are the way they are or what the root cause of a problem is while being willing to learn and stay at the forefront of current technologies to deliver the best product to our users. You do not shy away from complexity and unknowns, take initiative, and understand how to split things up in clever ways, so we ship step by step and learn from it quickly.
