Tech Lead
We built Question Jam to help educators and facilitators create a world where people are curious together.
Since we beta-launched the question-driven edtech-tool 10 months ago, pioneering educators from across the globe have used Question Jam to unleash their students' curiosity, and we are now ready to take the next step.
We are looking for an energetic person who wants to take on a core role in bringing Question Jam to the world. This is a part-time position in a small fully virtual non-profit organization.
This is a great opportunity for a developer who wants to be part of building something meaningful with users across the globe - you can combine it with another job, or with your studies.
Main responsibilities
Own all technical aspects of Question Jam - the product is currently in beta. You will be bringing the product to v.1, and beyond.
Lead future tech direction - we are exploring whether Question Jam should be open source, and would love to discuss this with you.
What we are looking for:
Ability to maintain and extend a full stack modern web application
Pragmatic hands-on independent type with positive energy
Passion for the Question Collective mission of enabling more people to exchange questions with each other
What we offer:
Live product with wonderful users across the globe
Mission-driven, collaborative, and action-oriented culture
Influence on the future direction of Question Jam
Opportunity to build your developer track-record and resume
Fully remote - work from anywhere in the world
The Question Jam stack and services:
React web-app
GraphQL API (on Node.js)
PostgreSQL
OVH - EU-based cloud
Elastic Email - email delivery
ChargeBee - user and subscription management
We run Question Jam as a side gig - which means that you will not have colleagues in the traditional sense. Instead you will have collaborators - currently two based in Copenhagen, Denmark, hopefully more soon - who are also driven by creating a world where people are curious together.
Our collaboration stack:
Slack - team communication
Google workspace - email and documents
Notion - shared planning and task tracking
Squarespace - website and newsletters
We imagine you may be an employed developer with more bandwith who is looking for a meaningful side-gig. Or a student looking for more real world experience and concrete results to demonstrate your tech skills. In short, if the description above sounds exciting to you, and you have something to contribute, then please reach out.

1) Try out Question Jam by creating a free account and testing it
