What does it need:

We’re looking for people who are great at Javascript (or even better, Typescript). Experience with GraphQL is a plus. We want to make the GoodGym website as beautiful, user friendly, and effective as possible, so if you have a strong product, UX, and/or design mindset that would be. Experience with Ruby and Rails, or a willingness to learn, would be great - our tech team is small so the ability to cover both ends of the dev spectrum would be handy. You don’t need to tick every one of these boxes: if there are areas where you’d like to develop your skills, we’ll support you in doing so.

Responsibilities

Want to help people get fit by doing good ?

GoodGym is a charity that combines exercise with volunteering. Our members run, walk, or cycle to support people and organisations in their local community. Our web platform helps coordinate all this. We’re now looking for an experienced senior or mid-level React developer to take it to the next level.

The existing codebase, a Rails app, has been around for a while, but we’re now in the process of porting it over to a Typescript/React app that will sit in front of the Rails app and interact with it through a GraphQL endpoint.

Since the pandemic hit we’ve adopted a hybrid and remote work environment - if you enjoy working from an office and live in London, we have an office in Holborn that you're very welcome at.

It’s been a journey going from a colocated to hybrid team but we think we’ve done a pretty good job. We work hard to keep video meetings useful and interesting and to find ways to socialise and have fun . Not all of these involve staring at a screen, either: we set ourselves challenges to get outdoors or cook healthy meals and then share the results . We know it’s important to find time to step away from your computer and encourage you to do so.

And finally: we take diversity seriously. Our commitment to it is baked into our business plan, and we report regularly on our progress to our board of trustees. So we particularly encourage applications from groups underrepresented in tech!

To apply, please copy the link below and fill out the application form. We’re looking forward to hearing from you.
