WHO ARE GOOD GROWTH?
Good Growth’s primary mission is to enable large businesses and organisations to innovate online, without letting their legacy tech stacks slow them down. Many of the websites you see – some of which might belong to your favourite retailers – are often over a decade old, relying on older systems and legacy technology to continue running.
Whereas a lot of companies will see this is as a barrier, Good Growth sees Legacy Tech as an asset. We enable businesses to innovate at breakneck speeds, with lower risk and time costs. We drive change and create value in areas that previously seemed unworkable. You can find out more about us and the clients we have worked with at https://goodgrowth.co.uk/.
We are based in Birmingham, Exeter, and London. Broadly speaking these are the homes of our Tech, Data, and Client Teams respectively.
We believe passionately in allowing our clients to innovate at speed within their current constraints. Through our experience of doing this we have developed a software platform - Good Growth Technology (GGT) - that you would both use and contribute to the ongoing development of.
PLEASE NOTE: WE HAVE A ROLLING HIRING PROCESS FOR THIS ROLE. WE CONDUCT INTERVIEWS EVERY FEW WEEKS, SO YOU MAY NOT HEAR BACK ABOUT YOUR APPLICATION IMMEDIATELY.
Salary: £30,000 - £40,000 dependant on experience
Location: Birmingham, UK or Exeter, UK
Home working vs. office: we are flexible with regard to home working vs. office; we want you to work where you do your best work. As a guide, across our business we will typically do 1 or 2 days a week in the office. In the early stages of your career with us, we may ask you to be in the office more, but we will always seek to be accommodating (e.g. childcare; appointments; etc.).
THE ROLE
We are looking for someone to join our Tech Team as a Software Developer. You would be joining a collaborative and supportive team and work across a range of technologies. We’re small, but mighty. This means you’ll get exposure to a broad range of tasks, clients and people.
Our core platform stack is made up of Go, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB. The tooling layer which sits on top of this consists of React, GraphQL and TestCafe. All our tech is deployed onto Google Cloud Platform, with an increasingly large percentage of this being automated through
Terraform. We care deeply about quality and place a heavy emphasis on automated testing and peer reviews.
Although exactly what you were working on would evolve over time the role would initially have two primary focuses:
