(Full time position - Burkina Faso)
Akvo is looking for a front end developer to take a leading role in the development of our open source data platform. As a front end developer, you will mainly contribute to Akvo Flow and Akvo Lumen, our data collection, visualisation and analysis tools. You will be part of the development team with most team members distributed geographically across Europe. You will work closely with the design team and report to the team lead.
About Us
We believe that sustainable change will happen faster if governments and non governmental organisations become more effective, accountable and collaborative. With a team of data and development experts, a solid and scalable open source data platform, and a proven methodology, we help our partners power their decisions to achieve inclusive and sustainable impact. We support the improved management of water, sanitation and agriculture and have a strong commitment to the sustainable development goals.
Since 2008, we’ve worked with over 20 governments and 200 organisations in more than 70 countries to improve the way they make decisions using data. With a core team of over 75 data and development experts in five continents, we’ve built the data skills of over 15,000 people and have supported partners in carrying out over 6.5 million surveys.
Profile
As a front end developer at Akvo, you will take a leading role in front end work on our open source data platform. You will mainly contribute to Akvo Lumen (https://github.com/akvo/akvo-lumen), a SPA built using React and a Clojure backend, continuously deployed using Kubernetes, and Akvo Flow (https://github.com/akvo/akvo-flow), another SPA built with the Ember framework (currently being migrated to React) and a Java backend.
Together with our diverse team, you are driven to create valuable products that enhance Akvo’s impact. You are able to figure things out yourself and know when to involve the rest of the team. You always keep pushing to understand why certain things are the way they are or what the root cause of a problem is while being willing to learn and stay at the forefront of current technologies. You do not shy away from complexity and unknowns, you take initiative, and you understand how to split things up in clever ways, so we ship step-by-step and learn from it quickly.
