About this role
We want to change the world. We’re a team of fast-executing social entrepreneurs on a mission to build the future of social change. We’re looking for a visionary Lead Web Developer who wants to drastically improve a successful Beta website into the home for everyone who cares. This position will begin as part-time, but you should expect your role to grow as iFLIP4 grows!
This role is for someone who is passionate about constantly improving a revolutionary website that gives millennials the tools to make a profound impact on the world. You should be motivated to come up with innovative solutions and also to buckle down and crank out incredible work with the web developer team you’ll oversee.
We don’t want a code monkey; we don’t want someone to say yes and implement every feature we ask for. What we want is a partner. Someone to bounce ideas off of, someone with a vision for the future of our company, and someone who has the desire and drive to make it a reality.
