• Develop and improve donation systems, including recurring contributions and payment integrations.
• Create user-friendly interfaces with React.
• Design and run A/B tests to optimize supporter experiences.
• Collaborate with campaigners to understand needs and translate them into solutions.
• Manage feature releases, fix bugs, and ensure performance through CI/CD, Docker, and monitoring tools.
• Track and report progress across projects, and help keep us all aligned.

About us

WeMove Europe is an international campaigning organisation that seeks to build people power to transform Europe on issues that matter, including climate emergencies, migrant rights, workers rights, better governance and more. At the centre of what we do are two key beliefs: that people hold the power to drive change, and that the Europe we live in today needs real, deep-rooted transformation so that its politics reflect the needs of people and planet rather than corporations and profit. When we all take action together we create something bigger than ourselves and build momentum for real political change. That is when politicians start listening to us, when big business feels the pressure, when hope becomes a reality. And when we become unstoppable!
