Hello everyone,
My friend Edward Duffus is leading OpenCRVS, an impact startup building an open-source civil registration system.
Their vision is that every person on the planet is recognised, protected and provided for from birth. It's a huge challenge and they are already off to a great start.
I think this is a great opportunity that really shows that you can have a good tech job building something useful for the world :)
The role is remote (you can be based anywhere, but preferably in a Europe friendly time-zone).
You can check out their code repo here:

If you're interested, please share your CV and a short covering note to jobs@opencrvs.org by Friday 26th of August 2022.
It's my understanding that they will be opening more jobs soon, possibly tech. I'll keep you updated.
UPDATE: They just opened an Operations Manager role, check it out here
