Do you want to build technology that genuinely makes a positive difference?
Are you looking to join a high-growth startup where you'll have real ownership, influence, and the opportunity to help shape both the product and engineering culture?
I'm currently partnered with a rapidly growing Tech for Good startup on a mission to make it easier for families to discover, book and manage enriching activities for children.
Founded by two parents, this platform helps to connect families with activity providers, community programmes and local organisations, encouraging children to spend more time learning new skills, staying active, and spending less time in front of screens.
The business has experienced exceptional growth, growing more than 10x since the start of the year and continuing to expand following a series of major new client wins
As a result, they're now looking to hire a Full Stack Developer to join their close-knit engineering team and help deliver the next phase of the product roadmap.
The Role
You’ll be joining a small, collaborative team where engineers are encouraged to think beyond code and contribute to product direction, user experience and problem solving.
The focus over the next 6-12 months will be on building new features and products as the business continues investing heavily in its own technology platform.
You'll be involved in:
Greenfield feature development
Building new user-facing functionality
Reporting dashboards and internal tooling
Improving the booking and checkout experience
Frontend enhancements and UX improvements
Future mobile application initiatives
Contributing ideas around product and technical direction
What They’re Looking For
Ideally 5+ years commercial software development experience
Experience building products, APIs and integrations
Startup, scaleup, or highly autonomous product environment experience
Strong problem-solving skills and a proactive mindset
Someone who enjoys ownership and genuinely cares about the user experience
Nice to Have
Experience using AI-assisted development tools such as Claude or Copilot
Exposure to cloud infrastructure, deployments or DevOps
