Two individual positions available
We are looking for 2 student developers to work together. We are especially interested in women students who code. The plan is to build in an iterative and agile way, demonstrating progress on a weekly basis over an 8 week duration. Onboarding a small group of dedicated trialists as we go. The whole development process will be very creative, exploratory, evolutionary and interactive with one to two Zoom calls per week. This BubblersApp MVP project will be the first phase and then we will have the BubblersApp Launch project to follow it in another 8 week stint.
Initially we will be adding user profiles, pandemic metrics/graphs and a health passport. All data will be hosted in a Hasura instance, which will present the data as a GraphQL API. We will then build out the interface in the Kendraio framework (see below).
Requirements
- You will be building BubblersApp with the Kendraio framework (see below).
- Being able to work in a team is a must.
- Attention to detail is a must.
- You must know how to program with JavaScript/TypeScript and manipulate JSON.
- Some experience of Angular (version 9 and above) would be useful.
- An understanding of REST and GraphQL APIs is a must.
- You will need to have a little experience with Git code repository methodology. We use GitHub for our code.
- We will use Google Drive Docs and Sheets extensively. See the current BubblersApp folder.
- When you come to the interview make sure you have already signed up to Linear, GitHub, Google, LastPass, Hasura, Zoom, using your own Gmail/email address. You will need to tell us what this is.
- We will sign you up to our Slack channel.
Kendraio framework
Kendraio App is a low-code app environment that lends itself to rapid application development. Kendraio was created to service the creative/music industry to enable easy asset and rights management both locally and on third-party platforms. But what we've ended up creating is a generic data browser that plugs into remote APIs and enables highly configurable interfaces to be built. And we'll use this framework as the basis of this project. Please check out these links before accepting this mission: Kendraio App demo, Kendraio App on GitHub, Kendraio App documentation, Kendraio App website. As you create this project your feedback will influence the direction and capabilities of the Kendraio framework.
Wellbeing
This is a short and rapid project. Being able to flag difficulties quickly is vital for success. Team and individual wellbeing is paramount. We aim to have zero stress in this project by us all flagging potentially stressful situations early and quickly, and creating a relaxed and stress-free work environment.
Emotional awareness, emotional intelligence and authenticity: listening to our gut reactions and feelings will help us recognise when we are getting stressed. The intention is not to be a 'self help group' but to treat each member of the team as a human being with all the associated complexities of not being a robot! ;-)

BubblersApp is a new initiative developing a free and open source application / platform for keeping us safe in times of pandemic. The focus is on privacy, security, flexibility and configurability. The aim is to empower individuals to make their own choices specific to their own situation in the way that suits their own needs.
Peer-based personal contact management and exposure notification – BubblersApp is a complimentary companion app to proximity-based contact tracing, based on peer-based, manual contact management and exposure notification. With BubblersApp, we want to give everyone the ability to make decisions that suit their specific needs and manage their social bubble, using relevant, real-time information. And now we are adding a health passport.
BubblersApp is incubated within World Peace Now Foundation CIC, the nonprofit ethical incubator. BubblersApp will be developed with technology by Kendraio and supported by the University of Reading and the Imperial College London.
