DI was instrumental in establishing the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI), which was launched in 2008 at the third High-level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Accra. IATI is a global initiative to improve the transparency of development and humanitarian resources and their results to address poverty and crises. IATI encourages organisations to publish data on their spending according to the IATI Standard. The IATI Standard is a set of rules and guidance for publishing useful development and humanitarian data. Once published, IATI data is open for anyone to access online or ingest into their internal systems.
We have an exciting opportunity for a talented developer to join our small team of developers that build new, and improve existing, open source software, working closely with the larger IATI Technical Team.
The successful candidate can expect lots of interesting conceptual and technical challenges.
Duties include:
We are looking for someone who has an excellent understanding and significant professional experience of software design principles and is able to write code that scales and is well tested.
The ideal candidate would have good knowledge of Javascript and a clear understanding of Agile principles. Having a keen interest in being part of an-open data, open-source community would be an advantage along with experience with user interface development.
Early applications are highly encouraged; we will be reviewing submissions as they arrive, and interviews will be held periodically. As we are recruiting on a rolling basis, we reserve the right to end recruitment without notice.
If you would like to contribute to increasing the impact of a dynamic organisation committed to ending poverty, we would love to hear from you. Please download and read the full recruitment pack and apply by uploading your CV
