mySociety.org is hiring UK-based web developers.
mySociety is a community of coders and technology fiends using our talents to make the world a better place.
We do this by building useful, high impact, democratic open source web apps like FixMyStreet.com, WhatDoTheyKnow.com and TheyWorkForYou.com, and running projects, such as Alaveteli, to help people run tools like these around the world.
We’re hiring open-source-savvy web developers in order to grow our international impact, help us sustain ourselves through commercial work, and increase our reach in the UK.
We are a friendly, user-focused software development team, and we get to work on stuff that matters. Our sites and projects help people to get important things done: holding politicians to account, extracting information from government, and getting streetlights fixed. And as a mySociety developer you can see the benefits and talk to the users, every day.
We’re looking for new developers who will be comfortable working on both charitable and commercial projects, for clients who vary from volunteers (asking for new features) through to big media company clients with high expectations of professionalism.
We’re not dogmatic about languages: if you can work in any of Ruby, Python or Perl you’ll be at home here - we’ll find an interesting project for you. We love Django and Rails, and we’re having fun experimenting with Node.js, canvas, and more.
We’re widely geographically dispersed across the UK, and a lot of people work from home or from co-working spaces.
