We are looking for a part-time developer to join our remote team!

About us

At Zetkin Foundation we develop the software Zetkin and teach successful organizing methods to the international left. Zetkin is a web based platform designed for organizing and mobilizing activists in left-wing organizations, unions, left parties and non-profits. Our growing community of Zetkin users expands over 7 countries in the EU and the UK.

Zetkin Foundation is a remote work-place with a software team and an organizer team. In addition to our small group of paid part-time workers, we work together with around 100 contributing volunteering coders, designers, communication specialists, data analysts and organizers.

Zetkin Foundation is based in Sweden and founded by Vänsterpartiet Malmö (The Left Party in Malmö).

About the software team

We are a small team that work close together, even though we don’t sit in the same room. We collaborate a lot, give and receive feedback, and spend a lot of time defining and refining our methods and ideas.

Accessible code that’s easy to read is important for us, which means we probably spend more time than most on making sure we produce sustainable, self-documenting code.

The methods we use to structure our work involves shared responsibility for planning and goal-setting. We care about each other, and we have all worked here for multiple years.

Some tools we use (you don’t have to know all, we’ll teach you what you need):

• Next.js & React (frontend development)
• TypeScript (full-stack development)
• Frontend testing (unit, component, end-to-end)
• Python (server-side development)
• Open-source collaboration (code reviews, documentation, etc.)
• Docker & DevOps
• Flutter (mobile app development)

What are we looking for?

We're looking for someone who is dedicated. Whether you are a junior fresh out of school, a capable hobbyist or an experienced senior, we’re interested in hearing from you.

It’s not important whether your primary skills are front-end or back-end development, mobile or web. We're looking to find someone who share our progressive ideas and can learn what’s necessary for the job.

In addition, we hope that:

• You have some years or many years experience working as a developer
• The idea of working part-time for a radical leftist organisation sounds great to you
• You care about writing and maintaining code that is accessible and easy to read.
• You are happy about the idea of both sharing your knowledge and learning from others.
• You can work daytime hours with a team based in CET timezone
• You are comfortable using English as your work language

Everyone at Zetkin Foundation works part-time, and everyone has the same salary. The pay is more than the typical salary for a junior, but less than a typical salary for a senior.

We're looking forward to hearing from you!
