    Description

    🌐 Help Us Build a Better Internet - Operations Volunteer Opportunity

    Network Theory Applied Research Institute (NTARI) - Remote/Distributed

    Are you passionate about open-source technology and building systems that serve humanity rather than exploit it? Do you believe the internet should be a force for digital equity and user sovereignty?

    What We Do: NTARI is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit advancing network technology for global public benefit. We're committed to open-source protocols, privacy-first principles, and fighting surveillance capitalism. We're building the technical infrastructure for a more equitable digital future for everyone. We call it #WebWe

    What We Need: We're looking for a volunteer Operations Coordinator to help us refine and optimize our Confluence-Jira-Slack workflow. You'll help us build efficient systems that support our distributed team and advance our mission.

    You Might Be Perfect If You:

    • Have experience with Confluence, Jira, and Slack integration
    • Believe in transparent, asynchronous governance (we practice it!)
    • Want to use your skills for public benefit rather than corporate profit
    • Understand that good documentation is how distributed teams thrive
    • Care about privacy, open-source principles, and digital rights

    What You'll Do:

    • Design workflows that support our research and development projects
    • Create documentation systems that embody our transparency values
    • Optimize cross-platform integration for maximum team effectiveness
    • Help implement governance processes that scale with our mission

    What You'll Get:

    • Real impact on internet infrastructure and digital equity
    • Experience with cutting-edge nonprofit governance practices
    • Skills in distributed organization management
    • Connection to a community building the internet we actually want
    • References and portfolio work for meaningful projects

    Time Commitment: Flexible - we respect that volunteers have lives! Even a few hours monthly can make a huge difference.

    Apply: Tell us why you want to help build a better internet and how your skills can support our mission. We're more interested in your values and potential than perfect credentials.
