DoSomething.org is a fun place to work! If you don't believe us, read our Culture Book [2]!

DoSomething.org's policy for working with recruitment firms has been changed from this [3] to 10% of salary on hire, and another 10% after 1 year of employment.

Our office is located in New York City.

Positions Available:

• Finance & HR Associate
• Quality Assurance Engineer
• Software Engineer
• Front-End Engineer

DoSomething.org helps young people (25 and under) rock causes they care about.

Rules we live by:

1. Believe in young people. Young people can lead today. We don’t require old people.
2. Trust young people. We provide reliable, easy to access information and activation strategies, but young people decide for themselves what to do.
3. Celebrate young people. We think all measurable contributions from young people are valuable.
4. Listen to young people. We must always respect their varied abilities and time constraints.
5. Value young people. Our programs and products are free. We’re not after young people’s money; we want their passion, time, and creativity.

We’re looking for someone who has the ability to create clear and valuable experiences for our millions of members, billions of potential members, and all of their friends and awkward acquaintances. We want someone who can see the process all the way through from ideation to visual design. Help us give the user an experience they tell their friends about - which our design inherently facilitates.
