Job: Open Source Developer, Ginkgo Street Labs
http://goo.gl/M1D4Pp

Care about the environment, animals, art, or social justice? Want to help progressive nonprofits mobilize their supporters and maximize their reach and influence? Ginkgo Street Labs is hiring a full-time mid- to senior-level developer to leverage and enhance open source technologies to help nonprofit organizations and community organizers meet their goals.

Founded in 2009, Ginkgo Street Labs arose from a desire to empower agents for good with technology that increases their productivity while decreasing their reliance on vendors. After decades of working and volunteering in numerous high-impact nonprofit and advocacy organizations, we realized we could have a bigger impact by setting up our own shop. We're looking for candidates with similar backgrounds in nonprofit and advocacy—if your heart is in activism and you geek out on tech, we want to talk with you!

Ginkgo Street Labs emphasizes collaborative, open development. Test-driven development, code review, and peer programming result in better code, knowledge sharing, and a more reliable product. We work in a variety of technologies, but our focus is on CiviCRM, Drupal, WordPress, and mobile.

In this position, you will:

Develop cross-platform mobile apps

Improve and extend CiviCRM, the leading open source CRM package for nonprofits, to help organizations meet their individual, real-world needs

Gain facility configuring, deploying, and extending leading open source CMS packages Drupal and Wordpress

Perform quality assurance activities: specification, testing, logging issues

Collaborate on internal projects to improve development operations

Gain skills through professional development and collaboration with diverse nonprofits

Develop collaboratively with and learn from experienced developers

Participate in the CiviCRM and nonprofit communities, attending conferences, trainings, and meetups

Learn to understand organizations' real-world challenges and how to offer solutions using our tools

Participate in new product and feature brainstorming and specification

Qualifications (most but not necessarily all of the following):

Three years of professional programming experience

Strong PHP skills

Strong JavaScript skills

Experience with a version control system like Git

Experience with command line interfaces on Unix-like systems

Experience administering CMS-driven websites

A hacker mentality - tell us about your mashups, your hacks, and things you've broken or patched together

Work within or providing services to nonprofit organizations

Understanding of CRM and its importance to an organization

Special consideration given to candidates with demonstrable experience in:

Developing CiviCRM extensions

Developing Drupal modules

Client-side MVC using a framework such as Angular, Backbone, Ember

We value diversity of background, skills, interests, and perspectives. Women, people of color, and LGBTQA folks are encouraged to apply. Please apply toinquire@ginkgostreet.com and include résumé, cover letter, desired salary, and a code sample (perhaps a Drupal module you developed) or a link to your GitHub. In your cover lever, please tell us about yourself, not just your work experience. We want to know what drives you. What issues brought you to nonprofit, advocacy, and tech in the first place?

Perks

We want you to love working with us, and we want you to grow as an individual as we grow as a company. Ginkgo Street offers health insurance, flexible working arrangements, three weeks of vacation, and five days of sick leave, as well as paid professional development and traveling opportunities. Our office is located in an historic building (with a yard!) in Washington, D.C.'s Dupont Circle neighborhood, a short walk from Metro's red line and numerous bus lines.
