Hey Everyone,
There are a couple of opportunities that have been sent to us from
various people:
- Sofmor - Social Learning Platform - is searching for a back
end developer
- Education Partnerships Africa - Looking for IT Workstreams
Lead
- 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
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 for more information on the role and how to
apply.
