Opportunities and Reminder of Credit Suisse Dinner
by Sam Lanning 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

Hey Everyone, There are a couple of opportunities that have been sent to us from various people: 1. Sofmor - Social Learning Platform - is searching for a back end developer 2. Education Partnerships Africa - Looking for IT Workstreams Lead 3. Reminder: Credit Suisse are hosting a meal tomorrow Kind Regards, Sam Lanning. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *1. **Sofmor - Social Learning Platform - is searching for a back end developer* Sofmor is an exciting and innovative Social Learning Network (think Moodle meets Facebook) co-founded by a final year UCL Computer Science student and we're looking for a Back-End Web Developer/CTO to join our two man team as a co-founder. In return we're offering a negotiable equity/salary split. We'll hit the ground running and begin building the prototype as soon as you join. We're tech agnostic but would prefer someone with PHP, Python or Ruby experience -- current students are welcome to apply. You don't necessarily have to have a lot of professional experience but should possess drive, tenacity and willingness to learn. We've already gathered interest from students and educators who'd love to test our initial product and have been approached by investors -- but we'd rather show off a working prototype to them first. If you're interested you can find out more about us, this role and even apply via sofmor.com <http://sofmor.com> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *2. **Education Partnerships Africa - Looking for IT Workstreams Lead* *IT Workstream Lead for Education Partnerships Africa* EPA is a virtual and growing organisation and is increasingly reliant on its IT systems to function. The integrity, availability and security of our information and documents is vital to the viability of our work and the quality of the systems that we use has a direct impact on the efficiency of our operations. Technological developments in collaborative and interactive software, and the increasing availability of the internet in East Africa has opened up a variety of opportunities for EPA that we are yet to exploit. The Kenya Government has made a huge quantity of data about schools available on line -- how do we tap into this? Collaborative authoring of documentation and 'corporate' social media -- how/should EPA use/implement/afford/host/support these tools to improve the way we work? Although you will have the ability to shape the nature of your role, these are some examples of tasks for which we require assistance. * Research website hosting options and guide the purchase of a new package which meets our internal technology requirements * Support the Knowledge Management Workstream Lead in researching and implementing a permanent management system * Support Knowledge Management Workstream Lead in designing and populating a remote database (accessible from Kenya) * Redesign the website to be more interactive and synchronised with our internal management system * Mailing list management * Provide website support to the Communications Workstream Lead * Investigate IT solutions for our summer work in Kenya * Organise IT training to the central charity and new Project Worker intake In addition to being a Workstream Lead, there is also the opportunity to apply join the IT Workstream in a more general capacity. This may be appropriate if you are broadly interested our IT work but do not have the experience required to undertake the Lead role or you cannot make a consistent year-long commitment. Within the application you will find the option to express an interest in joining the Workstream, and space to indicate what you might be interested in doing and/or restrictions on you time. Normally Central Charity positions are only open to those who have previously volunteered with EPA. However we have often suffered from a shortage in IT skills and therefore have opened up the position to external interest. Subsequently this is a fantastic and unique opportunity to directly enter the heart of a growing and dynamic education charity. Therefore you will be able to also develop additional skills in people management, working as part of a team, internal charity strategy, access to our internal jobs board and even on the ground development experience in East Africa! If you are interested, please visit www.epafrica.org <http://www.epafrica.org> for more information on the role and how to apply. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *3. **Reminder: Credit Suisse are hosting a meal tomorrow* Description: Description: Description: Description: Credit Suisse *Description: Description: Description: Description: Romy, Vice President, Information Technology*** *Credit Suisse: Your unique opportunity to join us -- IT & Operations Dinner *Quod, Old Bank Hotel 6 November, 2012 at 18:30** Come and join us for an exclusive dinner for students who are interested in our internships in Operations and Information Technology at Credit Suisse.
