About the Role
Maleda Tech is hiring two experienced full stack engineers, passionate about social impact, to help build the vision of a nimble global emergency response program. This role supports an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit — affiliated with a major consumer platform — that has helped provide safe housing for more than 260,000 people to date, responding to hundreds of emergency events worldwide, including hurricanes, wildfires, refugee crises, and a global pandemic.
The team builds tools that enable impactful individual generosity at scale, in support of the belief that everyone should have a safe place to call home. You'll bring strong technical knowledge, hands-on software development, and the ability to collaborate seamlessly across many functions.
