iFLIP4

East Hanover, NJ

$164.60K/yr

Part-time

Posted 10 days ago

Job description

Company Description

iFLIP4 is the brand and network for people to care. We're creating the one home for everything related to nonprofits, doing good, and changing the world -- targeted at millennials who overwhelmingly want to do good but don't know how. They can come to the site and learn about causes with articles, videos and games; they can find a nonprofit they love; and they can support it all in one place. The first way they can do that is that for every iFLIP4 product purchased, iFLIP4 donates half of the profits to the charity of their choice.


Pre-launch, we have been featured in the New York Post, and we are also the recipients of the Brown University C.V. Starr Social Entrepreneurship Fellowship.


We have iFLIP4 Ambassadors (campus representatives) on 50+ college and high school campuses in the US, UK, and Canada, and iFLIP4.com has been visited in 140+ countries.

Some of our advisors include a former treasurer of IBM, a media expert who helped launch MTV, a Fulbright winning law professor, and a senior advertising executive in charge of $250 million of ad sales at Yahoo.

Job Description

We want to change the world. We're a team of fast-executing social entrepreneurs on a mission to build the future of social change. You want to change the world? This is your chance!


We are searching for an exceptional game designer to build our business with. You will work closely with our CTO and other members of the Core Team to design and develop world-changing games. These games will have to deal with global issues, from education to poverty to human rights.


We don't want a puppet; we don't want someone to say yes and implement every feature we ask for. What we want is a partner. Someone to bounce ideas off of, someone with a vision for the future of our company, and someone who has the desire and drive to make it a reality.


We want the best of the best. We've built a team of supremely talented and dedicated individuals, and we want our app developer to be the same.

Qualifications

Coders

  1. Extremely well versed in some C-oriented language (experience with javascript is a plus)
  2. Experience with Unity
  3. Open mindedness -- to new ideas, different perspectives, criticism, and suggestions
  4. Exceptional time management skills
  5. A portfolio (please provide URL) of your work
  6. Experience in app development is not required, but is definitely a bonus


Artists

  1. Proficient with tools such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, and GIMP (but really we don't care what tools you use, so long as you produce great work!)
  2. Endless imagination, and a desire to use that imagination to design a truly inspiring, world-changing game
  3. You want creative freedom so you can help build our brand from startup to global brand for good
  4. Exceptional time management skills
  5. A portfolio of your work
Additional Information

This job requires a commitment of about 20 hours/week and is unpaid to start. After we raise our Angel round of funding, there is the potential for this role to grow into a full-time position with a full salary and vested equity in iFLIP4, assuming the work you do is great! We are located in East Hanover, NJ, and telecommuting is fine with us.


If you're responsible, driven, and innovative, we want to hear from you! Please send your resume and a link to your portfolio to Team [at] iFLIP4.com. Preference will be given to those who apply earliest.
