Job description:
Ycenter is looking for a Full Stack Developer to join its Digital Innovations and product development team. This is a fully remote, full time position. You will be employed under the Ycenter India office.

We’re looking for a dynamic coder and problem-solver to work with our Digital Innovations team and help build web products that solve complex global problems for our clients. Preferably a Full Stack Developer / Software Engineer with 2-4 years of experience in building & maintaining web applications, not afraid of taking on new challenges in a fast paced startup environment, able to take leadership decisions independently (read: without a boss) and an obsession for effective & timely communication.

Why you should work with us:

1. If you’ve ever felt that technology should be used for social good, or wanted to create measurable impact through your work, this is the opportunity

5. We care about you as a person and the work you do, more than spreadsheets and corporate KPIs. In fact if you love spreadsheets, this role is not for you.
