About Bama Kicks Foundation

The Bama Kicks Foundation works to eradicate poverty by creating pathways to economic equality.

We believe in a future where communities share ownership in the systems they sustain — and where opportunity is both accessible and regenerative.

We pursue this mission through research, advocacy, and equitable wealth distribution models such as cooperatives, unions, and employee-owned enterprises (ESOPs). Our approach is grounded in collaboration, evidence, and long-term community impact.

Our Ecosystem

To turn our mission into measurable impact, the Foundation anchors a family of aligned initiatives that work together to create sustainable economic systems:

1. Bama Kicks — Impact Investment Company

Bama Kicks is an impact-driven investment and venture-building company wholly owned by the Foundation. It funds and scales businesses that advance economic inclusion and community ownership through:

  • BKVC Venture Fund – invests in early-stage, mission-aligned startups.
  • SmaBizFund – offers $10K microloans to small businesses and local entrepreneurs.
  • Idea Factory Venture Studio – incubates and launches new ventures rooted in community needs and equitable design.

All profits from Bama Kicks flow back to the Foundation to expand its programs and impact.

2. BKG — Agency & Consultancy

BKG is the Foundation’s in-house agency and consultancy, providing strategic, design, and operational expertise to both internal ventures and external partners.

By offering consulting services in product, brand, and systems design, BKG helps organizations adopt equitable practices while generating revenue to sustain the Foundation’s broader mission.

3. Human Development Center

The Human Development Center serves as our research and learning arm, focused on understanding how humans can progressively build and sustain equitable systems as our world evolves.

Using cross-disciplinary models, data, and human-centered research, the Center explores areas such as:

  • Future of work and ownership
  • Inclusive governance and cooperative economics
  • Human potential, creativity, and well-being within equitable systems

Our Vision

To build an economy where ownership, opportunity, and dignity are shared — not scarce.

Role Overview

  • Build and maintain mobile apps using React Native and Flutter
  • Integrate third-party APIs and platforms (payments, auth, analytics, etc.)

  • Optimize performance, scalability, and security across the stack
  • Participate in code reviews, technical planning, and architecture discussions

Tech Stack (Preferred)

  • Frontend: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS
  • Backend: Ruby on Rails, Node.js (Express/NestJS), Python (FastAPI/Django)
  • Mobile: React Native, Flutter, Swift/Kotlin (nice to have)
  • Databases: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Firebase, Supabase
  • Cloud & DevOps: AWS, Vercel, Docker, CI/CD pipelines
  • Bonus: AI API integration, headless CMS (Sanity, Contentful), or data visualization

  • Strong experience with Ruby on Rails, React, and mobile frameworks
  • Proven ability to ship and maintain production-quality web and mobile apps
  • Understanding of UI/UX principles and responsive design
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills
  • Comfortable working in fast-paced, creative, and client-facing environments

What We Offer

  • Opportunity to work across diverse, design-led client projects
  • Creative freedom and ownership from day one
  • Collaborative, growth-oriented culture
  • Flexible work arrangements (remote or hybrid)
  • Room to explore new frameworks and emerging technologies

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
