About DIVD

DIVD is the voluntary fire brigade of the Internet. At the Dutch Institute for Vulnerability Disclosure we aim to make the digital world safer by reporting vulnerabilities we find in digital systems to the people who can fix them. We operate on a global level, but do it Dutch style: open, honest, collaborative, and for free. We mainly work on cases with the volunteers in CSIRT and Research teams. And to support all these volunteers, many great people are in supporting roles.

DIVD wants to be an open and inviting organization for everyone. We believe it is essential that everyone can join us and feel welcome and safe, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, religious beliefs, or political preference. If you are already part of the hacker community, you may know neurodiversity is included in the package.

Departement 

The communications department handles internal and external communications, events, and merchandise. It showcases DIVD's work both nationally and internationally through blogs on our website, press releases to relevant media, and posts on social media channels. This department ensures our experts are visible at key cybersecurity and hacker events. The team currently has four members: two developers who maintain the website, one communications specialist who focuses on internal communications and the head of communications who is responsible for the team, strategy and external communications.

This is what you’re going to do

As a developer you’ll become part of our communications team. You’ll be working on bringing DIVD’s online presence to the next level. 

We are migrating our website from an outdated static + CMS setup (that causes more headaches than joy) to a modern stack with Next.js and TinaCMS. We’ve already proven this works through a couple of PoCs, but need help with building it for real. 

It would be great if you could help out with:

• Building out our new Next.js + TinaCMS setup

• Making sure the site stays statically hosted (our infra doesn’t allow running backends)

• Collaborating with the team to support their campaigns and events

• Bringing in your own ideas to improve performance, maintainability, and usability

Must haves

• You share DIVD’s mission and vision and want to contribute to it

• You have experience with modern web development (React, Next.js)

• You’re comfortable working with GitHub 

• You know how to turn a Proof of Concept into a solid, production-ready build

• You’re able to communicate in English,  bonus points if you speak Dutch as well

Nice to haves

• Experience with TinaCMS or other headless CMS solutions

• Familiarity with static site generation and deployment pipelines

• An eye for design and usability (we love devs who care about user experience)

This is why you want to join us

By joining us, you'll be key to improving global cybersecurity while learning and growing with a passionate team. You can expand your knowledge in different fields of cybersecurity. You will find yourself strengthened by a growing community of helpful hackers who like to deep dive into technical challenges, learn from each other, and maybe join our (geeky) meetups now and then.   

Volunteer work, but no less important

We need volunteers who can commit to a set number of hours. Even though this is volunteer work, it still requires dedication and responsibility. We invest a lot of time in you as a new volunteer, so we take the onboarding process quite seriously. That's why a screening for a Certificate of Conduct (in Dutch: VOG)  is part of the process.
