About abillion
abillion is a social media app, consumer review platform and marketplace designed to make sustainability intuitive for a billion people. We have over 400,000 members in over 130 countries who have contributed over 2.7 million reviews and created almost 50,000 curated collections.
Whenever a member posts a review, abillion gives them credits that they can then donate to any one of 48 impactful partner causes or charities through our app.
We have been around for 5 years now and have maintained high ratings in the app stores — people rate us highly because they enjoy using our app and feel good about making an impact. Our team is currently very lean and we need more engineers to be able to make our product better, faster.

Why you?
We are looking for a sharp-eyed craftsperson who believes they can make a difference. Someone who is pedantic yet inventive, able to learn and find solutions without being asked to. Someone who makes an effort to build things in a way that will make them thank themselves tomorrow.

- Understanding of modern CI/CD practices and SRE
- Experience with Typescript or another strongly typed language
- Working experience with NextJS or another framework with server-side rendering (e.g. Laravel or RoR)
- Working experience with NestJS or another modular backend framework
- Working knowledge of MongoDB (it’s important to understand indexing and query optimisation) or another database
- Working knowledge of unit and E2E testing
- You may or may not love tomatoes
- Good understanding of security principles and best practices
- Great communication skills; we are building an open and friendly environment, and expect everyone to be candid but respectful
- Some understanding of UX design would be great for a smoother collaboration with our designer
Our benefits
