Job Description

Remote (Mid) React Developer Location: Remote (UK based) Salary: £40,000 - £55,000 Hopefully you understand that for humanity to have the best possible chance at continuing to live happily on and with our planet, things have to change. One of the easiest changes to make is to our habits surrounding waste. We’ve become all too comfortable with failing to squeeze every last ounce of nutrition or value out of our natural resources. It’s unsustainable and a huge contributor to a growing number of environmental issues. We’re working with a company tackling exactly that - waste; food waste, furniture, books, equipment, clothing, you get the idea - take resources that some people need [sometimes desperately], that others have plenty of and create the space where both sides win. They’re ahead of the game and are already a global success with their app live in almost every country! So, how would you feel about applying your coding skills to solving waste problems! But! Nobody wants to work for a company that’s doing good at the cost of their sanity or ability to lead a happy life, so you’ll be pleased to know the environment and benefits here are sound. They were remote before Covid forced us all to embrace that.

They have a super generous approach to annual leave and do a lot to ensure their teams are not just succeeding in work, but genuinely happy and aren’t overstretched. Happy people work hard when tackling problems they’re passionate about. It’s that simple. You won’t be joining a huge technical team spanning multiple floors of an office in London. Instead, you’ll be working with a technical team of 13 where every single person on the team contributes their own ideas, has a shared goal for the platform and most importantly, wants to make what they’re doing now even better. Their main app is built on Ruby on Rails but they’re increasingly using Javascript with React and Redux, React Native and from an architecture & infrastructure perspective they’ve found their home with AWS. In an ideal world, you’ll be a dev with three, or four, years’ experience in tech - one or two of those spent working with React. Critically though, you need to have a passion for the environment.

They want people who have a good awareness of the scale of the problem and the urgency with which we must act to overcome the challenges ahead. They’re realistic with their expectations though, and they can teach what you don’t know - for example, React Native, you’ll work with it but don’t need to have used it before, everything is teachable to a good student and the passion for helping will outweigh having used React Native before. They’re split into two teams at the moment, community/volunteer, so depending where your strengths take you, you’ll be helping volunteers increase their impact and reach or creating a brilliant user experience. The Head of Engineering is still super hands-on, still contributes to their architecture and codebase every day, and you’ll have him and the rest of the team there helping ensure your skills progress. In terms of what’s in it for you, well the list is endless really. Alongside a great salary, true freedom to work how you want to (no clock-watching here), and real progression, you’ll be joining a company that’s grown significantly in the last few years, has actually changed the world and has their eyes set firmly on the future.
