  • Self-directed, organized, proactive, and communicative
  • Curiosity and motivation to learn and develop technical skills
  • Strong problem-solving abilities, with a willingness to seek help and feedback
  • Versatile in handling various web team responsibilities (bug fixing, technical support, site building, code analysis, client communication)
  • Capable of providing training and support to clients with varying technical expertise

Technical Skills

  • 4+ years of experience building websites using WordPress

Assets

  • Experience integrating third-party services with WordPress
  • Experience and/or interest in the non-profit and/or community sector
  • Experience with external communication and promotion ("outreach")
  • Enthusiastic about taking on non-technical tasks crucial for smooth operation of the collective (e.g., billing, human resources management, administrative decisions, and shared responsibilities like cleaning)

Benefits

  • Participate in decision making processes that guide the future of the collective and impact how you spend your day-to-day work
  • "Hybrid" / remote-friendly position
  • Flexibility to set your own schedule
  • Two additional paid holidays per year (March 8th and May 1st)

Some things we think you should know

  • This position starts at 30 hours per week, with the possibility of adjusting hours as needed. The hourly salary is 23.47$.
  • The majority of our collective is still working from home, and, as a collective member, your input will be part of any changes to this policy.
  • Koumbit provides workstations for use in our office in the Centre-Sud, Montreal, but having your own laptop for client meetings would be helpful. It will be useful to have your own setup for remote work as well.
  • Unfortunately, our office is not currently wheelchair accessible. Our office is accessed at the front via 1 step, and at the back without a step. However the bathroom is down 11 stairs in the basement and is not wheelchair accessible. Moving to a new office could be considered. You'll be a member so you'll have a say in those discussions.

This hiring process will prioritize candidates who are socially excluded and marginalized in the domain of technology, particularly trans, non-binary people, and women. Koumbit encourages applications from disabled people, racialized people, First Nations, Métis, and Inuit people, recent migrants, queer people, and formerly incarcerated people. If you experience discrimination or barriers to employment for other reasons and you want us to be aware of that during the hiring process, please don't hesitate to mention it in your application.

Cover letter required for consideration. Ideal submissions should articulate your motivation to work at Koumbit.

If this position interests you, please send your CV and a cover letter by email to embauche@koumbit.org.

We thank everyone who takes the time to submit an application, but we'll only contact candidates selected for an interview.
