We’re a cross-disciplinary team who believe in the transformative power of learning. Our software is open-source, our org is not-for-profit, and our primary users are in underserved communities such as rural schools and refugee camps.
We’re building Kolibri [1], an offline-first application that makes high-quality education tools and content available in low-resource contexts. We're also building a supporting ecosystem of tools and training materials. This all builds on previous work which now reaches millions of learners in hundreds of countries [2].
In the past two years we’ve: received substantial funding, e.g. from Google.org; doubled our team size with a focus on pedagogy and training; added dozens of languages and thousands of openly-licensed resources; begun deployments with partners around the world, including UNETE, the MFE Nalanda project, Vodafone Foundation and UNICEF Uganda
# Who you are
You are an experienced full-stack developer who is comfortable with ORMs, relational databases, API design, modern JS web frameworks, build tooling, and automated testing.
You want to use your skills to have a positive impact on the world, and our core values [3] resonate with you. You take pride in your craft and think carefully about the needs of your users.
