Web Development and Test

Position Summary

We are looking for someone to help develop and test small web software development projects. This position is a terrific opportunity to practice your existing skills and learn new ones, while working for a good cause and making a real difference.

Currently, our software development is focused on 3 different sites:

Duties and Responsibilities

• Develop and test fairly small web-based applications used on one of the three sites listed above.

KSAs (Knowledge, Skills and Abilities) Needed

• Strong knowledge of HTML, .php, and javascript
• Preferably familiarity with mySQL and Joomla
• Web & GUI development experience preferred
  

Please be able to commit 8-10 hours/month

This is a “virtual” team opportunity which you may perform from your home or other location.

Community Empowerment Network's (CEN’s) operations are nearly entirely driven by the efforts of volunteers (the only exception is our Field Manager in Santarém, Brazil, who is paid under contract). We are staffed along the lines of the Open Source development community. We have several (currently eight) Working Groups, each with its own lead who manages a number of Project Leads. These Project Leads are responsible for building and managing teams of volunteers to execute specific projects. We’re a small organization and so lines of responsibility become a little blurred at time, but this provides a terrific opportunity to take on a variety of responsibilities and to expand your skills. For more information on our staffing structure, please visit Staffing Overview.

If you are interested, please send your resume and cover note to rbortner@communityempowernet.org or contact Bob Bortner directly at +1 (206) 329-6244
