Your Role

Develop our "V-process" project, a system that ranks signatories of AI-policy petitions based on signature authenticity, credentials, and relevance to the subject matter.

• Capable of efficiently updating UI based on design requests and contributing to feature decisions.

Job Responsibilities

• Collaborate with SFC's Product Manager Ethan Ashkie and CEO Andrew Critch, as well as a diverse team of developers and contractors.
• Design and prototype user-friendly UIs for capturing and displaying signatory data.
• Implement business logic for signature validation and integrate with external APIs.
• Occasionally assist with other philanthropic and grant-making projects, time permitting.

Benefits

• Competitive annual salary of $200,000 - $300,000, plus health benefits.
• Join as the first full-time hire in a flexible, predominantly remote team.
• We are open to hiring remote contractors living outside the US and can collaborate with institutions who may be capable of providing work visas.
