Mission context

Girafe connects raw ideas, unmet needs, and early intentions before they are lost in outdated systems.

Girafe is a civic-tech project that helps local governments and organizations better read, activate, and coordinate their local ecosystem by turning signals — needs, ideas, resources, data, and emerging intentions — into concrete collaborations.

More specifically, we see Girafe as a tool that can help territorial agencies implement their mission in a more operational, visible, and responsive way.

The current website is only a first public-facing layer. The broader product vision is a territorial coordination engine with a frictionless input layer, where users can share raw material — ideas, needs, notes, documents, or questions — and see it structured into meaningful cards, signals, and early-stage matches.

We are looking for an experienced developer who is interested not only in building features, but in helping shape a product around a few key challenges:

• radical frictionless input

• modular card-based logic for structuring and matchmaking

• thoughtful and socially useful use of AI, with strong awareness of ethics, inclusion, and data safety

• contribution to a more sophisticated territorial interface, together with our UI designer and early institutional feedback

We are not looking for a standard freelance executor, but for someone who could begin with a modestly paid, clearly scoped mission, and potentially evolve into a stronger long-term technical role if the fit is right.

This role may fit someone interested in civic tech, local systems, impact-oriented product design, and digital tools that help public-interest actors work in a more intelligent, inclusive, and coordinated way.

Paris or France preferred.

If this speaks to you, feel free to get in touch. I’d be happy to share more about the product direction and current priorities.

Best,

Eric Firley

Founder
