Job description
Volunteer AI Full Stack Engineer (AI-Native / Rapid Development)
About this Role
Position type: Volunteer (unpaid), pro bono
Location: Remote / International
Time commitment: 10–15 hours per week for a minimum of 3 months
Experience level: 2–5 years
Professional Volunteering: Professional volunteering at Solution Community is a skills-based service performed with the same reliability, accountability, and quality expected in a paid professional role. Volunteers are core contributors whose work directly supports our mission of global compassion, collaboration, and action.
About Solution Community: Solution Community is an international 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, pioneering an innovative social platform dedicated to enabling actionable change. With volunteers from over 70 countries, we are a testament to the power of global collaboration. Our team members bring experience from some of the world's most successful companies, including Apple, Toyota, Google, Netflix, Walmart, Meta, and many others.
Our Mission: To foster a global community of compassion, uniting individuals and organizations to solve the world's social problems. We are the bridge that connects non-profits, businesses, philanthropists, and volunteers, empowering them to create meaningful change.
Our Vision: A world united by collaboration, compassion, and action — where every person can thrive. At Solution Community, we are turning that vision into reality.
Position Overview: We are seeking a Volunteer AI Full Stack Engineer who builds production software the way top AI-native engineers build in 2026: primarily through AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, or equivalent), not the classical write-every-line, sprint-by-sprint engineering lifecycle.
This is a vibe-coding role in the best sense — you move at the speed of AI-assisted development, but you bring the engineering judgment to keep quality high. Most "vibe coders" ship fast and buggy; we need someone who ships fast and correct. You'll design, generate, review, debug, and deploy real features for our platform, working directly with our CEO (who builds the same way) and our engineering team.
Key Responsibilities
AI-Accelerated Development
Build and ship full features — front end, back end, integrations — primarily by directing AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.), not manual line-by-line coding.
Rapidly prototype, iterate, and deploy working software in days, not sprints.
Apply strong engineering judgment to review, debug, and harden AI-generated code — catching the bugs, security gaps, and architectural mistakes that typical vibe-coded output has.
Design clear, specific prompts and technical specs that get AI tools to production-quality output on the first or second pass.
Full Stack Ownership
Develop and maintain responsive web applications, APIs, databases, and cloud services end to end.
Own your features from spec through deployment — no separate QA/handoff cycle to lean on.
Ensure application security, performance, and reliability despite the compressed build timeline.
Collaboration & Support
Work directly with the CEO and engineering lead on architecture and priorities — minimal process overhead.
Document what you build clearly enough that another AI-native engineer (human or agent) can pick it up without you.
Mentor other volunteers on AI-assisted development practices.
What We Are Looking For
Required
Advanced, daily, hands-on proficiency with Claude Code, Codex, or an equivalent AI coding agent — able to architect, generate, debug, and ship full applications with AI as the primary development method, not an autocomplete assistant.
Solid full-stack fundamentals (front end: React, Vue, or similar; back end: Node.js, Python, or similar) — enough to review, debug, and correct AI-generated code, not necessarily to write everything by hand.
Experience with RESTful APIs and SQL and/or NoSQL databases.
Familiarity with a cloud platform (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
A track record of shipping working software fast, with the discipline to test and verify it before calling it done.
Preferred
Experience with LLM/AI application development (OpenAI/Anthropic APIs, LangChain, RAG, vector databases, prompt engineering).
Docker, Kubernetes, or other cloud-native deployment experience.
Prior volunteer, nonprofit, or social-impact work.
Skills
Strong problem-solving and independent judgment — you catch what the AI gets wrong.
Clear written communication (specs, docs, async updates).
Comfortable operating with high autonomy and minimal process.
Genuine interest in AI-native development and technology-driven social impact.
Application requirement
Include 2–3 examples of production apps or features you built primarily using an AI coding agent, with rough build time for each. This is the main filter — general dev experience without demonstrated AI-native speed will not be a fit for this role.
What Success Looks Like
Features shipped in days, not weeks, with bug rates comparable to (or better than) traditionally coded work.
Code and architecture that the rest of the team can read, extend, and trust without a rewrite.
Reliable, secure, working software in production — not demos.
Growing autonomy: less spec detail needed from the CEO/lead over time as trust is established.
What We Offer
Global collaboration with leaders and strategists from top global companies.
Meaningful impact on global causes and communities.
A vibrant, multicultural team spanning 70+ countries.
A supportive environment rooted in compassion, integrity, innovation, and collaboration.
Flexible work with full autonomy.
Opportunities for personal and professional growth.

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for Solution Community. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
