Javascript Programmer For Earth Org

JavaScript programmer for Earth.org (LAMP) (remote, fulltime)

At Earth.org we are building a Web2.0 travel guide with a responsible mindset, collaboratively sourced from users and travellers around the world. And we're not just talk about being responsible: at least 50% of our net profits will go into environmental, social and cultural projects.

We are a 100% remote team around the world working on the initial beta which has been silently launched and needs your support to get off the ground. We are a small, open-minded and dedicated team and are looking for people who can work independently at the workplace of their choice - be it a beach in Bali, a cafe in Rio de Janeiro or your bedroom in Prague (due to time zone problems we can not consider Australia and New Zealand).

To complete our technical team Earth.org is looking for 1 (one) more passionate, ingenious, responsible and underpaid full time Web 2.0 JavaScript programmer (ideally 40 hours/week), who will play a central role in the technical development of Earth.org.
