Sounds like perhaps there should be more developers working on the EA forum? I imagine that it wouldn’t be too hard to hire for such a position, and my uninformed intuition is that someone working on this would compare favourably to a marginal Effective Altruism Infrastructure Fund grant although I don’t have a good feel for that. Of course, I understand that it takes time to train staff and that software projects do not scale easily.
If you know of any talented software engineers, please do encourage them to apply for the expression of interest role here. We might start hiring engineers in earnest sooner or later in 2022, depending on filling some other roles, but would hire an excellent fit opportunistically.
(Any time I describe apply to jobs, I’m obliged to say: it’s best to let the hiring org be the judge of fit, and err on the side of applying. — In particular, I was extremely confident I would not be the best fit for my role and had to be encouraged by someone close to CEA to apply.)
