Company Overview

We are a mission-driven organization committed to monitoring and combating app censorship on a global scale. We are in search of a dedicated and proficient Web Developer to lead the development and ongoing maintenance of three distinct projects: a new website for our Play Store Monitor (PSM), improvements to our existing App Store Monitor (ASM) website, applecensorship.com, and a completely new website that will host our Mobile App Censorship (MAC) monitor.

The Play Store Monitor, currently in development, aims to let users test app availability in over 140 countries where Google Play is operational. This initiative complements our existing ASM, which is already operational on applecensorship.com and offers similar functionalities for Apple’s App Store. The MAC monitor will be an integrated platform that combines data from both Apple and Google stores, offering users a comprehensive view of app availability across these major platforms.

If you are passionate about digital rights and possess the technical skills to contribute to our vision, we invite you to join our team.
