Why is working with ACT so awesome?
For countless reasons, but let’s just name three of them:
Joining our team at the beginning of a fascinating journey means you’d simply have a say in what we do and how we do it and take ownership.
At the same time, you will get constant support, working hand in hand with our diverse and competent team.
And above all, you’d play a crucial role in the emergence of (possibly) the only tool that can realistically impact the future of the food production industry and thus mitigate global warming and change the lives of millions for the better.
Why am I your ideal iOS Developer?
Good collaboration skills in an international team
Disciplined and self-driven (it’s not easy to come back from work and work again!), honest and generally good-hearted as hell (...)
A team player building effective and fun relations with other people of diverse backgrounds, even when they’re on the other side of the Earth (or screen)
Enjoying remote work and flexibility of time and location
Fluent in English
Able to pay your bills and have a decent life with current stable job and devote at least 10 hours per week to ACT project. For the first period we are paying in shares/equity and we are aiming for a salary paid in cash.
What is your gut telling you?
We know this offer may be peculiar and the no-money-yet aspect can be tough. We’ve all been there, and yet there we are around 20(!) people literally infected with ACT’s vision. If your heart (or gut) tells you “I want to be the next ACTer, I want to have my share (metaphorically and literally!) in this world-changing project” there’s nothing left but send us an email to jobs@aacct.org, tell us what your heart told you about working with ACT and share your skills and portfolio to prove that you not only want, but also can.
You cannot imagine how much we’re looking forward to meeting you :)
Cheers,
ACT Team
