Javascript Jobs in Web3

VotingSmarter is a civic tech nonprofit. We are founded on the idea that in order to fight voter apathy, political corruption, misinformation and paralyzing partisanship we must address the incentives that cause them. That starts with "cheaper" and fairer information. Everything we do is centered on being fair, fast, and fun. Be began by fighting voter apathy in 2020. We built a "dating app for elections" that matched thousands of voters to the political candidates that matched their political preferences rather than political party or immutable characteristics like race, age, or gender identity.
Since the 2020 election, we’ve been designing a tool to fight the political corruption created by large corporate donations and lobbying. We are super excited to announce that after months of development and thousands of hours of research, our new Chrome extension that matches shoppers to the companies that donate to candidates that share their political values has been approved and is live in the Google Chrome Store!!!
Who We Are
Our team is made up of passionate people from all over the world, from all walks of life, and from all over the political spectrum. At VotingSmarter, we recognize that our political process is broken and that being an informed citizen is hard work; it takes too much time and emotional effort.
VotingSmarter’s 2020 "dating app for elections" turned 4000 hours of boring political research into 4 minutes of "fun".
VotingSmarter’s new Chrome extension turns countless hours of research into a tool for conscious consumerism. The businesses you shop at everyday use YOUR dollars to support THEIR values and political agendas. With the VotingSmarter browser extension, you can be sure your dollars are spent supporting YOUR values.
Join our team to help us combine these two great products into a new platform in both web2 AND web3 and give people their political power back.
We have an upcoming NFT drop and are starting to design a metaverse for politics. Leave your mark on the future of politics.
