HOW DOES WORKING FOR GIVE.ASIA LOOK LIKE?
--------------------------------------------------------
First of all, you don't work for us - you work WITH us. We want people who are as fast-moving, fun, curious, and giving
as we all are.
We are a remote team. Although we have a physical space in Singapore, a lot of the work is done online. Slack is our office.
We also don’t have fixed office hours and
there is an unlimited vacation policy.
We think hierarchy is a terrible way to organize a team. Our stance is: Work is a way to express yourself. Don’t put people in a box, you need to enjoy your work to excel.
Also: Practise what you preach!
Every month you will get an amount to donate to whichever project you wish.
WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE DO WE WANT?
-------------------------------------------------
Here is a crazy story. When we first started out in Singapore, we were struggling to raise money to build a proper international platform. Naturally we couldn't pay any good engineers.
One day we received an e-mail from a developer in Thailand. He said “Hey, I’m really interested in what you guys are doing, it sounds awesome and I’d love to help you guys!" So before he started his high rank developer job at a pretty famous company in the US, he came to us in Singapore for 6 months and coded away. He was working 24/7. Only engineering, all day all night. When we said "Let go out and eat at some local favorite spots! Let us at least show you the city!" he would always reply "Guys, I have a job to do. We need to get this done."
These are the kind of people we love working with! Not just this wonderful engineer who helped us build the first version of our international platform, but all of us at GIVEasia are passionate about what we do and can do. We are super focused, super hard working and get things done. Everyone shines in a different field, but we only have people who are really good at what they do.
