I don't care how old you are, or where you live (well PST to GMT+5 is ok). We span from 30 to 50 years old in our developer team. If you are good at a combination of (any combo will do): Java, Google app engine, python, Django, HTML/CSS/JavaScript, dev/ops, Linux sys admin, QA, Wordpress (themes/plugin building/php); well, then I have open positions. Half time to full time. Working from home.

Will post these new positions at the end of the week, but here is where you can find us, and where these positions will be posted: http://www.akvo.org/web/jobs



Quite interesting. How, might I ask, is your work funded? Do you sell your products and services to various governments and NGE's? Do you get funding from the same to distribute to worthy causes and products?


Yes, pretty much. We develop open source software which we run as a service. We are about to expand into some interesting use of mobile phones in data collection for monitoring and evaluation of program effectiveness in the field.

The majority of our funding is in the form of grants, against which we deliver services on a contract. We also have some grants which are more of an investment to allow us to scale up and expand. We also do some CSR work and consulting work.

We don't distribute funds to worthy causes ourselves, but our partners which are part of our trusted network do. We just provide the software and services to make it easy to do so and see the results.
