Join us and be a part of our mission to revolutionize mobile organizing!
Acter is a encrypted, mobile-first, organizing App to organize and grow your community of peers. We understand that the work of organizing often falls on the shoulders of a few dedicated individuals, while many others are eager to help if given the chance.
With Acter, we're changing that dynamic by enabling privacy-first organizing, using strong resource-aware cryptography in familiar user interfaces, that makes it as easy and approachable as using WhatsApp on your mobile or desktop.
As a small and growing NGO-backed non-profit, we're a close-knit team with a big vision. We value authenticity, humility, and collaboration. Remote work and asynchronous communication are at the heart of our operations, enabling us to bring together talented individuals from diverse backgrounds around the world.
Join us as an early team member, and play a pivotal role in shaping:
- Our company culture and team dynamics.
- Cutting-edge engineering practices.
- The direction and focus of our product.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I apply?
Simply follow the job description you are interested in and complete the process as instructed. If you have any questions, feel free to email us or ask them in our public matrix channel.
Where is Acter located?
Acter is a 100% remote company with employees all around the world. Although we have a desk in Aarhus, Denmark, we all work from home or a workspace of our choice. Our team members are based in Aarhus (DK), Lisbon (PT), Nairobi (KE), Boston (US), Shenyan (CH), and more.
How is Acter funded?
We have a previous product that is already being used by customers, and it has helped us convince some NGOs to become partners and support our work towards the next major milestone. Some of our partners include ActionAid, CISU, Amnesty International, Greenpeace Nordic, OceanKAN, and NCCDH, to name a few.
How will Acter become financially sustainable?
Our goal is to enable activists to become more effective through the tools we have built. Thus, we want the revenue to come from the same source to ensure we stay on course. In addition to the free-forever version, there will be a more advanced version for larger groups that requires an extra subscription. We are also partnering with NGOs to offer the service in a decentralized manner and they will be paying for that service as well.
What does the application process look like?
We keep it simple and straightforward. We will review the information you have submitted and research additional information we consider relevant. If we like what we see, we will contact you about a video call with the team lead (for tech and product, that would be @Ben(GNUnicorn)), where we will discuss more in-depth how we would like to proceed.
How big is Acter’s team?
We currently a team of 9 people, spread across 7 countries.
How many people do you plan to hire?
We plan to grow the team, but we will do so one person at a time to ensure everyone settles in and becomes effective. Therefore, we will be filling these roles slowly and as needed. Expect that we might be adding 2-3 people by the end of the year (2024).
At Acter, we are always looking to hire the best talent and recognize that diversity in our experiences and backgrounds is what makes us stronger. We hire candidates of any race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, marital or family status, disability, and any other status.
