Threadbare is developed in the open, by our Games team and a growing community of contributors. As our programs reach more learners in more regions, we are growing the team that keeps the game stable, fun, and welcoming to the people learning to build it., Endless Access is a fully distributed, global nonprofit. Most of the team works remotely and asynchronously across many countries, and this role is no exception: it is fully remote and based in Latin America, collaborating daily with teammates and contributors across multiple time zones, much of it in writing, in code review, and over video. We are looking for someone who thrives in a self-directed, cross-cultural environment, and who communicates clearly and openly in writing.
