You Are Registering As Development and Technical Associate
The Development Associate is responsible for building, maintaining, and improving ALPHA’s digital platforms, while also supporting the team with technical operations during events. This includes translating UI/UX mockups into responsive web pages, managing backend systems, and assisting with livestream setups, OBS configuration, and sound systems when needed.
The ideal candidate is a tech generalist with a passion for development, event tech, and creative problem-solving. They should be equally comfortable fixing bugs in code or fixing the mic minutes before a livestream.
