What problems are more interesting to solve than making people click more ads? Plenty. We at NRC have embarked on a massive, yet exhilarating, challenge to radically rethink how technology is put to the service of millions of people. Join our new team of smart, hard-working individuals who accept the challenge and choose to shape a better tomorrow. Members of this team are extra special, just like you. They embrace diversity and they thrive in uncertainty.

Join us and be part of a global humanitarian organisation impacting the lives of 9 million people every year?
