Caim (www.caim.org) | Python Engineer, Front End Engineer, and Engineering Lead | 100% Remote | Volunteer/Unpaid | Part-time

We’re a 501c3 charity whose mission is to help the US become a no-kill nation. Our platform empowers animal rescues to connect with each other, fosters and other rescue advocates in order to move animals from overcrowded, high kill areas to places they're more likely to be adopted. Our organization launched in 2022 and we’re looking for engineers to join the team so we can continue building out our web app. Caim is 100% volunteer run at this time.

We are looking for people who can help out 5+ hours per week.

Python Engineer – must have knowledge of python and any popular web framework (preference for Django) – https://www.caim.org/volunteer/full-stack-engineer

Engineering Lead - must have knowledge of python and any popular web framework (preferably Django) + experience helping more junior engineers get started – https://www.caim.org/volunteer/engineering-lead

Please apply to volunteer through the links above.

Is there a reason why your code isn't open source? I like your mission, but it's very unclear to me why your codebase isn't open and I'd 100% be much more likely to try to help out if it were.

Would you be willing to volunteer your time to open source their codebase rather than waiting for someone to volunteer their time to open source their codebase so you would be more likely to help out?

I'm not trying to be snarky, but there could be a fit for a person acting in good faith to help them accomplish this. I think open sourcing one's code is seen as easy by some, but it's actually a skill (I tend to get overwhelmed by the idea of open sourcing my projects and never end up doing it FWIW) and people experienced in doing so have something to offer.
