Senior Software Engineer at EverGive, United Kingdom, 2-3 Months, £Contract Rate
Contract Spy United Kingdom
💥Our Mission   EverGive fights for two things: a free world and a happy one.   It was originally conceived as the answer to a radical question: What if donations didn’t just get spent? What if they compounded over time and lasted forever instead? EverGive is on a mission to do just that - make donations compound and last forever, building the foundations of a free and happy world.   We are pioneering a model where donations are invested to last forever, creating financial freedom for charities.
