Volunteer Software Developers — IT Cohort (Frontend / Backend / DevOps / QA)

Volunteer Software Developers — First IT Cohort

Marra Community Hub, an ACNC-registered charity supported by Glen Eira City Council, is recruiting four volunteers to form the first cohort of our development team. You'll build and maintain our production volunteer management platform, hub.marrahub.com.au — real tickets, pull requests, and code review, the same workflow you'd find in any professional team.

We're recruiting across four roles — tell us which one you're applying for:

FRONTEND DEVELOPER

Build user-facing features for the volunteer portal: workshop sign-ups, dashboards, application forms. Improve accessibility and polish, fix bugs from real user reports.

Tech: React 18, TypeScript, Vite, Tailwind CSS 4, React Router

BACKEND DEVELOPER

Design and build REST endpoints in our .NET Azure Functions API. Work with Entity Framework Core and PostgreSQL — queries, migrations, multi-tenant data isolation.

Tech: C#/.NET, Azure Functions, EF Core, PostgreSQL, xUnit

DEVOPS / CLOUD ENGINEER

Maintain GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines deploying to production. Work with our Azure estate (Static Web Apps, Functions, PostgreSQL Flexible Server) defined in Bicep. Help harden security: managed identities, Key Vault, access policies.

Tech: Azure, GitHub Actions, Bicep, Docker

QA & TEST ENGINEER

Write test plans, run exploratory testing before releases, extend our automated suites (xUnit for the API, Node-based frontend tests), and help introduce end-to-end testing — a greenfield project you can own.

Tech: xUnit, Node test runner, GitHub Issues

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

— You hold, or are studying towards, an IT certificate or bachelor's degree

— You're seeking referenceable project experience with an Australian organisation

— You can commit approximately 15 hours per fortnight, flexible around study and work

WHAT YOU'LL GAIN
