Join Us: Seeking Engineers + Nairobi 🇰🇪 Meetup
Help us build healthier social media that strengthens democracy.
At Sparkable, we’re building healthier social media—something that feels more urgent than ever as polarization rises across communities.
In this update, there are two ways to get involved:
👩💻 We’re Looking for Software Engineers (Global, Volunteer)
We’re working toward a more open and healthier social ecosystem. Next steps for Sparkable include:
- Making the platform fully transparent and open source

- Enabling interoperability with decentralized platforms and protocols
What you’ll get:
- Contribute to a mission-driven, non-profit, and open-source project
- Help shape core product and technical decisions
- Collaborate with a global network of changemakers

🇰🇪 Tech + Democracy Meetup in Nairobi
Alongside building Sparkable, we’ve hosted Tech + Democracy meetups across six European cities over the past year. Now, we’re organizing this event on the African continent for the first time: on May 12 in Nairobi! 🌍
In partnership with Build Up, FECoMo, and Baraza Media Lab, we're bringing together people across civil society, technology, journalism, human rights, and peacebuilding.
What to expect:
- Meaningful connections with people working on tech & society
- Cross-sector discussion on reducing polarization and strengthening democracy
- A chance to exchange ideas and spark collaborations
