THE ORGANISATION:

We deliver healthcare strengthening projects in low and middle income countries around the world, with a focus on eHealth development and implementation. With a talented team across Melbourne and NZ, we're a small, friendly group of people bonded by a desire to make awesome technology and put it to good use in the world. BES is proud to recently be accredited as a B Corp.

We hope to find someone else who is technically talented, excited by the work we do, and able to take initiative as well as collaborate with a team. Work/life balance isn’t an afterthought. We offer reasonable work hours and flexibility, our staff juggle kids, second jobs, study and anxious pets. Right now we're working remotely until restrictions ease but the office is on Nicholson St in Brunswick East - close to Lygon Street with its Cafés, restaurants and bars - and there is a big park just behind our building. We would especially encourage you to apply if you are from a community that’s underrepresented in the tech or aid industry.

No closing date, we’ll hire as soon as we get the right candidate, so don’t delay!
