Description
About Us: Love Justice International (LJI) is a Christian nonprofit organization and our mission is sharing the love of Jesus Christ by fighting the world’s greatest injustices. We do this in two primary ways: through our expanding anti-human trafficking work and by caring for orphaned and abandoned children. We are seeking faithful, compassionate, thoughtful problem-solvers who are able to think deeply and carefully about how we can share Christ's love by fighting injustice.
Love Justice International is a certified Best Christian Workplace in 2021, 2022, and 2023.
Position Overview: LJI's anti-human trafficking model focuses on transit monitoring. We identify, intercept, and assist trafficking victims as they are being transported—when victims and traffickers are the most visible and open to detection. The Anti-Trafficking Software Developer will be instrumental in accelerating the development of Searchlight’s features and capacity, including expansion to new fields.
The Anti-Trafficking Software Developer will be based in South Africa and will report to the Chief of Staff. Some travel to LJI’s other field offices may be required.
Primary Duties and Responsibilities:
- Developing new features for Searchlight to expand LJI’s ability to leverage data through intelligence-led investigations and trend analysis.
- Utilizing strong cognitive skills, both quantitative and qualitative, to maintain and improve Searchlight’s capacity to collect a variety of forms of data from multiple contexts and design interfaces to view such data.
- Providing support for various tech-related projects or spreadsheets, including solutions through Google Sheets and connecting to APIs.
- Training and working with end users of Searchlight.
The duties listed above are conducted within a work culture that is striving to emulate Christ and make him first and central.
Qualifications:
- Mature Christian faith and agreement with our Global Value to “Abide in Christ.”
- Knowledge, understanding, and agreement with how the Christian Gospel ministers to “the least of these” (Matthew 25:40).
- A strong commitment to social justice and advocacy on behalf of vulnerable populations.
- Minimum of a bachelor's degree in computer science.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
- Logical reasoning, problem solving, and quantitative skills.
- Ideal candidates will have considerable knowledge of full stack development (preferable experience with Django and AngularJS or similar frameworks).
- Candidates with software development management experience preferred.
