OVERVIEW
Fractured Atlas is seeking a full‐time Junior Software Engineer. Fractured Atlas is a national nonprofit art service organization with a membership of over 75,000. Our mission is to make the journey from inspiration to living practice more accessible and equitable for artists and creatives. We are dedicated to helping individual artists and arts organizations at every level of the cultural ecosystem, in every creative medium by providing fundraising tools, educational resources, and personalized support.
The Junior Software Engineer reports to the Senior Project Director on the engineering team, and will work closely with the entire team on projects to improve Fractured Atlas’s software. The successful candidate will be someone committed to writing clear, reliable, and maintainable code on a mission-driven, cross-functional team, and is looking to develop those skills further. We are especially looking for a candidate with an interest in building accessibility into all parts of the development process.
At Fractured Atlas, we individually and collectively work hard to carry out our organization’s mission. We also understand that work is just one part of life and, through a culture of care, support team members having full and robust lives outside of work. With that foundation, our organizational culture embraces people who are open to:
Building trust with others and addressing equitable distribution of responsibilities when collaborating.
Learning new ways of working while welcoming change as a way to reshape processes/policies/programming that no longer serve our values.
Transparency in communications, decision making, and feedback.
Centering care and connection in our individual work and in relation to our colleagues.
We recognize that the culture and core values of an organization should continue to evolve to reflect the world we live in. At any given time, we recognize that there might be emerging values other thanstated valuesand we continue to have conversations about stated and emerging values.
Additionally, at Fractured Atlas we work to adhere toanti-oppression and anti-racism principlesin all areas of our internal and external work. This commitment is grounded in our belief that change is possible, and that our work and that of the artistic community as a whole will grow stronger as oppression is eliminated.
In our current phase of this journey towards being an Anti-Racist Anti-Oppressive organization, the whole staff is engaged in all staff ARAO meetings led by rotating teams and undergo training as part of their onboarding process. We recognize that we do not have all of the answers as we pursue this work. This work will continue to shift as the Fractured Atlas team changes. We ask that new team members join us as we continue to learn, practice, and grow in this work. Learn more about what it’s like to work at Fractured Atlashere.
