This is an unpaid volunteer position for a PHP open-source project. (It could turn into a paid position if we get along well and raise enough money later.)<p>Zidisha is the first direct P2P lending community to connect lenders and borrowers directly across international borders. We connect tech-savvy young adults in the world's poorest places with the chance to raise small business growth loans from ordinary people worldwide.<p>We've funded 1.7 million dollars in loans and maintained an impressive repayment rate while pioneering a platform that links individuals in developing countries to the international P2P lending market without any local intermediaries. Now we're ready to scale up our service into something that will change the world.<p>We're a shoestring nonprofit with no office, manned by dozens of volunteers worldwide, collaborating online to overcome the barriers of location and circumstance for ambitious and deserving people in the world's poorest places.<p>Our code is messy and poorly written as it was originally outsourced on a shoestring budget. You can have an enormous impact by helping us modernize it, leveraging your talent to help our team of experienced international development professionals build an even better online platform.<p>You'll be working with the Zidisha founder and a YC partner to organize our source code, review pull requests from other volunteers, and help oversee a project to transition our website to Smarty templates.<p>To apply, please take a look at our project: <a href="https://github.com/Zidisha/zidisha" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Zidisha/zidisha</a>.<p>Then send a note indicating why this challenge is a good fit for you to julia@zidisha.org.
