A mi követelményeink

Thank you for your interest in joining Sortition Europe Nonprofit Kft. We hope this document encourages and inspires you as you consider this opportunity.

Location: This is a home-based remote position open to applicants based in Europe. We have a preference for someone based in Budapest, Hungary as we have an existing team based there. International (within Europe mostly) travel may be required.

Salary: We offer a competitive salary and benefits package that considers the cost of living in the country of employment. The Hungarian salary for this role will be 18,358,600 HUF per year (Band B) pro rata (this role is 0.8FTE so the annual salary will be 80% of the above, that is 14,686,880 HUF) based on our Global Salary Scale.

Benefits: The basic holiday entitlement for employees based in Hungary is 20 working days. The employee is entitled to additional holidays based on age or other personal circumstances which will be in line with Hungarian law and will be calculated and confirmed in the employee’s contract. We also have an equipment and furniture allowance, two in-person European team events per year, monthly in-person Budapest co-working days, and much more.

Hours: 32 hours/week (0.8FTE) – we are flexible with our needs and so if you have a preference for a certain number of hours within this range, please do apply. We operate on a flexible schedule; you will work your hours whenever you’d like, provided you are available to attend online meetings when they occur.

Contract length: Until 31 January 2028, with the possibility of extension, subject to funding availability and performance in the role

Reporting to: Director of Operations 

Management Responsibilities: None

Application deadline: 10.00pm (CET) 2 June 2025. Details of how to apply at the end of this job description.

About the role
We’re seeking a mid-level Front-End Developer to join an ambitious, purpose-driven project focused on improving democratic participation. Between now and the end of 2027, you’ll help build an open-source platform that streamlines democratic lotteries — the process used to select participants for citizens’ assemblies — using statistical modeling and AI. This tool aims to remove financial and technical barriers, making inclusive democratic processes more accessible for governments and civil society worldwide.

The platform will be a web application with a lightweight front end. It will use modern HTML and CSS but minimal JavaScript in the browser. The core of the role is to design and implement the pages of the application in a way that is accessible to as many people as possible.

This is a fully remote role with flexible working hours, ideal for someone who’s passionate about civic tech, social impact, and inclusive design.
