ActivPrayer is a faith-based organization that is building an open-source faith-sharing platform centered around purpose-driven action. For example, a high school athlete can dedicate his next football game for Pro-Life causes around the world or to his mother and then share his “ActivPrayer” with the world when it’s completed via rich media. This is done both through the ActivPrayer iphone app and our website, which will have a live streaming feed of ActivPrayers from around the world at live.activprayer.org.

In order to facilitate this project, we will need a technology manager (effectively, a CTO) who can manage all aspects of the development process and do much of the necessary work personally if needed or if we fail to recruit an adequate team of open-source developers.

ActivPrayer was founded by a Catholic seminarian and is currently a large, ecumenical movement supported by large organizations such as Reebok.

We are willing to pay up to $5,000/month on a monthly contract or up to $60,000/year on a long-term contract, with generous benefits (including stock options/company ownership).
