Interested in joining a team that is leading the movement to use the web for social change?

Change.org, a profitable social entrepreneurship company, is hiring a Rails developer to help architect, design, develop, and support the fastest growing platform for social change on the web.

Candidates should have experience developing web-based applications and a BS degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience. You will be joining a small development team, so we’re looking for someone interested in getting involved in all parts of the product. Your focus will depend on your expertise and interest, but work will include both backend (model design, SQL tuning, and scalability and performance concerns) and frontend (JavaScript and AJAX) components.

Beyond that, we care less about checking off a long list of formal qualifications than finding someone who is fiercely intelligent, interested in working in an agile, iterative development culture, and excited about being part of a small but fast-growing team dedicated to building the most influential platform for social change in the country.

Pay and equity compensation are competitive. Benefits include the daily thrill of seeing your work make real-world impact on a local, national, and global scale. We offer health care, too.

Change.org was founded in 2007 by two former classmates from Stanford and aims to become the most influential platform for social change on the web. The site has taken off over the past six months, during which time we’ve surpassed 1 million members, reached profitability, and worked with 50 of the largest nonprofits in the country to help launch, promote, and win a series of national advocacy campaigns.
