Volunteer Web Developer

Aunt Mary's Storybook, a project of Companions Journeying Together, bridges the distance between incarcerated people and the children most important to them, by recording touching audio readings of stories. Transitioning from cassette tapes to CDs, and now to a web-based system, we've innovated our delivery over the years to connect families in profound ways.

We are looking for volunteers to join our current team of talented developers. Together, you'll enhance our existing system, bringing new features to life, and smoothing out any bugs. Your work will be instrumental in enriching the lives of those separated by incarceration.

What You'll Do:

• Collaborate with other volunteer developers to add features and fix bugs
• Work with a codebase hosted in GitHub, built using CodeIgniter 4, and hosted on Amazon AWS
• Participate in team communication via Slack

Skills We're Looking For:

• Proficiency in PHP and SQL
• Experience with CodeIgniter or similar MVC frameworks
• Experience with Bootstrap is a plus
• A detail-oriented approach to coding and problem-solving
• A collaborative mindset and the ability to work well with a team

Requirements:

• Must be located in the United States
• Please note that we are unable to assist with obtaining or maintaining a United States visa, including an F-1 / OPT visa.
