Pink Programming is Sweden’s biggest community for developers that are women and non-binary, with the mission of a gender-equal tech industry.

Through our events and vibrant community for connection, we support women and non-binary developers at every stage of their journey, all while helping companies become more inclusive workplaces.

Pink Programming is rooted in a feminist and intersectional approach to change. We believe in addressing structural barriers and outdated norms by actively creating the environments we want to see in the tech industry and society as a whole.

Our non-profit organisation is built up from a passionate board, a force of one hundred engaged and active volunteers across the country, hundreds of members and a team of 3 employees at the HQ in Malmö.

Focus areas for the role

Tasks include recruiting, onboarding and engaging volunteers, coordinating teams and meetings, and managing internal communication, activities and events within the community.
