MySociety.org seeking female coders!

Janet (@J4) has flagged up to us today that Tom Steinberg posted on MySociety.org a call to ladies who would like to dedicate their coding skills to this organisation. It looks like the job applications are still open!

“As you might know, we’ve currently got an open-call for new developers, we’re hiring quite a bit in the next six months.

Thus far our list of people interested in the job contains no women’s names at all –zip, zero, zilch – despite us having taken soundings on how to get a more diverse sample of applicants.

I’m really, really not OK with this. I understand the gender imbalance in tech as well as anyone, but I interpret this as ‘mySociety hasn’t reached out well enough’, not ‘blame the women for not applying’.”

So ladies, do read the original post on how to apply and send over your cv to Tom! Let us know how it goes!
