Dev

Dev is a social impact organization focused on the mechanics of who gets hired. Its stated work is building an inclusive employment ecosystem: partnerships with companies that want to reach talent pools they are not currently drawing from, matched against candidates from underrepresented communities looking for meaningful work. The operating premise is economic independence for marginalized groups, pursued by breaking down barriers to employment rather than by training alone.

The core program is a talent connection service. Dev partners with what it calls forward-thinking organizations to place candidates from underrepresented communities into career opportunities, while giving those employers structured access to more diverse applicant pools. Partners named in the organization's own materials include Intuit. The approach is partnership-driven - the pipeline runs through the hiring companies, not around them.

For security candidates reading this: there is no stated technical domain here. Dev's listed verticals are non-profit and social impact, talent acquisition and recruiting, and employment services. No security-specific tooling, threat model, or engineering stack is described, and no founding year, team size, funding, or geographic footprint is published. The website is https://jobsforacause.org/; any claims about security roles would need to come from the employer partners rather than from the organization's own materials.
