What will you be doing?

At Geek.Zone, we are developing a new, community-focused, open source social platform to help all our members do everything they need as a Geek.Zone member. This includes,

Joining Geek.Zone Posting blog articles Purchasing Geek.Zone merch Accessing the 3D printer

...as well as much more! Our intention is to make this available to other communities in the future so that they too can benefit from the platform in the same way. We are using DevOps principles to build this in Python Django and Tailwind on the front end. We are also using Terraform across AWS and Azure to ensure high availability. To do this, we need you! This project has some very interesting challenges to overcome and problems to solve, so if you want to stretch your front-end development skills by contributing to an open-source, charity project, get in touch right now! We are a rather laid-back bunch, so no CVs here, just book a quick chat with our lead Dev to answer your questions and then we'll get you up and running! What Geek.Zone would expect from you
