Constructive is a leading social impact strategy and design firm that helps advance social, environmental, and economic justice. We’re a close-knit, committed team of experts and advocates who partner with ambitious organizations to make the world a more fair, equitable, and sustainable place. Constructive’s culture is built on values that are core to who we are — integrity, empathy, accountability, trust, teamwork, and respect. These values add purpose to our work and can be seen and felt in everything we do.
We’re expanding our freelance developer bench for upcoming 2026 projects. In addition to the technical requirements below, we’re especially interested in developers who:
- Have agency experience
- Communicate clearly about risks and tradeoffs
- Write clean, maintainable code
- Value documentation and process
- Are comfortable estimating against defined scopes
- Prefer long-term partnerships over one-off gigs
- Note: We are NOT looking to partner with development shops
Engagement is project-based (typically 10–30 hours per week depending on scope), with EST overlap preferred.
