Android Engineer (Volunteer Role)
DoinGud, United States
Job Description
The DoinGud community is the brainchild of Manuel Gonzalez Alzuru, who was infected with COVID-19 in the early days of the pandemic. Upon returning home to Barcelona, he found he was unable to get help even though there were people who wanted to provide it. Inspired by so many coming together, Manuel launched the FightPandemics project with one mission in mind: to ensure that those who need help could more easily connect with those who had help to offer. Today the community is evolving from a help board to a marketplace that will create the space for artists to engage with their communities and sell their work while contributing to the work of purpose-driven organizations. From that simple desire to enable connections for the greater good, we are now a collective of more than 1100 volunteers.
We are looking for volunteer who want to join us in our fight against pandemics like COVID-19 and other crisis alike.
