Want to help people get fit ๐ช๐ผ๐ช๐พ๐ช๐ป๐ช๐ฟ๐ช๐ฝ by doing good ๐๐๐?
GoodGym is a charity that combines exercise with volunteering. Our members run ๐๐พโโ๏ธ, walk๐ถ๐ผ, or cycle ๐ด๐ฝโโ๏ธ to support people and organisations in their local community. Our web platform helps coordinate all this. Weโre now looking for an experienced React developer to take it to the next level.
The existing codebase, a Rails app, has been around for a while, but this is a chance to start completely fresh. Weโre creating a brand new Typescript/React app that will sit in front of the Rails app and interact with it through a GraphQL endpoint. So no technical debt ๐ฒ, and the opportunity to define and adhere to best practices from the start ๐.
Weโre 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 ๐ง๐พโ๐ณ๐๐พ. You donโt need to tick every one of these boxes: if there are areas where youโd like to develop your skills, weโll support you in doing so.
Weโve worked remotely since the pandemic hit, and we like it - but if you enjoy working from an office and live in London, we have a space in Somerset House you can use ๐ข.
Itโs been a journey going from a colocated to a fully remote team at the drop of a ๐ฉ but we think weโve done a pretty good job. We work hard to keep video meetings useful and interesting and to find ways to socialise and have fun ๐ฅณ. 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 ๐ฅ. We know itโs 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 fill out this application form. Weโre looking forward to hearing from you ๐.
