WinWinLabs, an education-first non-profit, is looking for a volunteer Full Stack Developer to help us empower the next generation of talent in the American economy. We believe that the best ideas, with the best execution, can make the world a better place.

At WinWinLabs, we run gamified product development competitions where startup teams bring a product to market. These teams are made up of professionals from various fields who unite around a mission to solve a problem. They go through an intensive five-week sprint cycle, including researching, ideating, product designing and developing, iterating, and finally presenting their Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and pitch decks to industry judges, company recruiters, and hiring managers.

The success of our program helps us:

• Bring out the best in our committed members, providing them with an experience of a lifetime.

• Showcase our organization’s talent to prospective employers, attracting employment opportunities.

• Make the world a better place by solving problems, one at a time.

• Strengthen the American economy with top talent and innovation.

We believe that through relentless commitment and unwavering belief, every action, no matter how small, can spark something greater. Every action counts, and together, we're making the world a better place.

We're specifically seeking a skilled Full Stack Developer to provide invaluable assistance in the following key areas:

• End-to-End Development: Contribute to the design, development, and implementation of both front-end (user interface, user experience) and back-end (server, application logic) components for our web platforms and tools.

• Database Management: Design, develop, and maintain databases, ensuring data integrity, security, and efficient querying to support various application functionalities.

• API Integration & Development: Assist in integrating third-party APIs and, if needed, develop internal APIs to facilitate communication between different services and components of our systems.

• Deployment & Maintenance: Support the deployment process of web applications, including configuration and ongoing maintenance to ensure stability, performance, and scalability.

• Troubleshooting & Optimization: Identify, diagnose, and resolve technical issues across the full stack. Implement optimizations to improve application speed, responsiveness, and overall user experience.

• Make a Tangible Difference: Your contributions will directly support our mission by building and enhancing the digital tools that power our programs and help us achieve our goals.

• Be Part of a Growing Team: Join a passionate and collaborative group of individuals dedicated to positive change.

• Expand Your Skillset: Gain hands-on experience with diverse technologies, frameworks, and project challenges, enhancing your full-stack development capabilities.

• Networking Opportunities: Connect with other tech professionals, product managers, and community leaders.

• Volunteer-to-Hire Employment: There are opportunities to grow into a paid development position.
