This is a remote volunteer opportunity with Right to Live Canada, a virtual-office based Canadian non-profit start-up.

------ THE MISSION

Right to Live Canada exists to realize the right to live as a practical, supported, executable choice.

We were founded in response to systemic poverty-driven euthanasia amongst Canadians with disabilities: cases where Canadians choose MAiD because they cannot access the essentials required to continue living. This is a specific form of economic euthanasia: euthanasia where a preferable living future existed, but was not achieved.

That crisis remains our founding application point. It is not the boundary of our work.

Right to Live Canada is building Continuity: the service, financial, technological, and institutional architecture required to keep life connected to preferable living futures. We work from the recognition that biological escape velocity may become achievable for a significant portion of people alive today, and that the right to live must now be pursued with the seriousness, urgency, and scale appropriate to that possibility.

Our four core areas are:

● Continuity Service — developing a service to identify, propose, finance and execute preferable living futures in the event of potential death
● Continuity Insurance — developing a finance model for Continuity Service in the event of potential death scenarios
● Social Brokerage — developing a system to productize and sell the anonymized outcome of a life supported to the global market as an impact product in exchange for the capital to accomplish it, in order to fund those who cannot afford Continuity Service or Insurance
● Corporate Farming — developing a global-scale system to take concepts, form a structure around them starting with a team, incubate them internally and nurture their growth towards incorporation, and then emitting them as formed non-profits dedicated to their founding concept such as a technology, project, infrastructure or issue.

Right to Live Canada is a founder-centric, early-stage non-profit pursuing rapid national and global expansion. We use the advantages of the non-profit form — volunteer-class labor, sponsorship sales, grants, subsidized infrastructure, open development, impact monetization, and institutional farming — to uphold and extend the right to live for humans and, ultimately, other conscious beings.

------ ROLE DESCRIPTION

This is a part-time or full-time, volunteer, and remote role for a Documentation & GitHub Lead supporting the Open ABLS (Artificial Brain Life Support) project.

Open ABLS is an open-source engineering initiative developing a non-clinical artificial brain life support research platform. Every design revision, software commit, CAD model, wiring diagram, bill of materials, test result, failure report, photograph, and engineering improvement is published openly to accelerate development and enable global replication. The project advances through rapid engineering cycles where every version becomes easier to build, test, understand, and improve.

The Documentation & GitHub Lead has dual responsibility for project documentation and GitHub repository management. This role ensures that Open ABLS remains both technically understandable and operationally organized by maintaining the project's public engineering knowledge base and its open-source development infrastructure.

From the documentation perspective, the Documentation & GitHub Lead owns the project's README files, build guides, assembly procedures, Bills of Materials (BOMs), release notes, version histories, known issues, technical diagrams, photographs, and contributor documentation. The objective is to ensure that every version of Open ABLS can be understood, reproduced, and improved by engineers, researchers, universities, manufacturers, and contributors anywhere in the world.

From the GitHub management perspective, the Documentation & GitHub Lead maintains the overall organization and quality of the project's repositories. This includes maintaining repository structure, organizing documentation, managing Issues, Discussions, Projects, Pull Requests, Wikis, labels, releases, milestones, contributor guidelines, templates, and ensuring that engineering artifacts are published in a consistent, discoverable, and version-controlled manner.

Working closely with the Build Lead and every engineering discipline, the Documentation & GitHub Lead transforms ongoing engineering work into a structured and searchable public knowledge base. As hardware, software, testing, and documentation evolve, this role ensures that the repository accurately reflects the current state of the machine and that new contributors can quickly understand how to participate.

Responsibilities include managing GitHub repositories, maintaining documentation standards, organizing engineering documentation, publishing build guides, maintaining Bills of Materials, coordinating release documentation, organizing project photographs and diagrams, managing version histories, maintaining contributor documentation, supporting onboarding of new contributors, reviewing documentation quality, helping coordinate repository workflows, and ensuring that the public repository remains accurate, organized, and replication-ready.

This is a high-ownership role suited to someone who enjoys organizing complex engineering projects, maintaining open-source repositories, and transforming technical work into knowledge that others can easily understand, reproduce, and build upon.

------ QUALIFICATIONS

• Familiarity with Markdown and GitHub documentation practices.
• Ability to work collaboratively with multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Excellent attention to detail and commitment to documentation quality.
• Comfort working remotely with a high degree of ownership and follow-through.
• Interest in open-source engineering, collaborative development, and knowledge sharing.

Preferred

• Experience contributing to or maintaining open-source GitHub projects.
• Experience administering GitHub Organizations, Projects, Issues, Discussions, Wikis, Releases, and Pull Requests.
• Familiarity with GitHub Actions or documentation automation workflows.
• Experience documenting hardware, electronics, scientific research, laboratory equipment, or engineering projects.
• Experience creating technical diagrams, process documentation, or engineering illustrations.
• Familiarity with version control best practices and release management.
• Experience developing contributor guides, onboarding documentation, or documentation standards.
• Experience with project management tools such as GitHub Projects, Jira, Notion, or similar platforms.
• Startup or early-stage technology project experience.
• Interest in biomedical engineering, open science, and the development of emerging continuity technologies.

------ TIME COMMITMENT

This is a volunteer role requiring a minimum commitment of 20+ hours per week, with part-time and full-time participation welcomed. Right to Live Canada is an early-stage, founder-led organization pursuing rapid national and global expansion. The role is best suited to someone who is comfortable with startup intensity, high responsibility, and a culture of serious dedication to the mission.
