Want to make a real difference by doing JavaScript?

We mean a REAL difference. Not creating a new feature for that (boring) B2B app you’re currently building (even if it is running on the latest tech set).

Integrify enables integration through technology. We teach recent immigrants and refugees coding and lead them into jobs within the tech industry. Our pilot was a huge success, with every graduate landing in a job in mere months.

Currently we are looking for a full-time & part-time coding teachers to unlock the potential among immigrants and turn them into coders. We have done this before and now we are looking into expanding operations. This is a true once in a lifetime opportunity as what Integrify does is an internationally novel approach for integrating motivated and skillful refugees and immigrants.

If you’re irritated about the fact that we have foreign engineers and doctors working as cleaners and uber drivers (or actually not even as uber drivers anymore), this is for you.

Join us, and have a true impact on an individual level.
