As developer, you will help conceptualise, design, and implement improvements to our current site while paving the way to a mobile app.

Berlin, 03. April 2023

***te.ma is a new public space for science-informed discourse on pressing societal issues.***

Our hybrid between media platform and webtool is intended to be an alternative to noisy social media and the short news cycles of journalism. Our users come from a wide range of professional and social backgrounds, we improve the quality of online debates, make science accessible, and give discussions on complex and controversial topics more substance – through our content and the technical infrastructure we’re creating alike.

In short: Part-time and/or freelance, remote work possible (te.ma is based in Berlin), start as of now, competitive salary, non-profit/vision-oriented organisation, possibility to help fix what’s broken about social media.

Your tasks:

• Maintaining our code base, cloud deployment, and infrastructure.
• Iterating on and fixing bugs in the code base.
• Conceptualising and implementing new features.
• Improving workflows for the editorial team.
• Paving the way to a mobile app.

What we’d expect:

• An interest in media innovation and/or the future of public debate. You want to be at the forefront when it comes to reinventing reception of information and discursive patterns.
• Experience in building complex products/applications. Even better in remote teams.
• 2+ years of backend (optional: and frontend) engineering on digital products.
