We’re looking for a Frontend Developer to join our team and take our
MVP to market. Be part of an exciting travel startup that is backed by
the former UK Managing Director of Thomas Cook.
THE COMPANY
Our value proposition is simple: “Enriching family holidays, tried
and tested by like-minded mums”. We’re the first travel company in the
world that is focussed on mums: the decision-maker in the family when it
comes to family holidays. We’re targeting the 8 million UK mums to form
a unique and defensible community dedicated to family travel. TimeAway
is a marketplace where SuperMums sell family holidays based on their own
experiences amongst their networks. We provide SuperMums with the
technology to create, share and sell holiday experiences. Since the dot
com boom there has been an incredible amount of innovation in travel,
but the family market has been largely ignored. It’s time to shake
things up.
THE ROLE
We’re looking for a Frontend Developer to join our small and growing
team. In 2018 we will build the platform where our SuperMums can create
amazing holiday experiences and share these amongst their network to
earn an income and build social capital. You will be part of the
development team which will give life to designs, concepts and
prototypes. Nothing is set in stone so you will have a big impact from
day one. You will work directly with the CTO and founders and you’ll be
the main person responsible for building and maintaining the frontend
functionality of the TimeAway platform as well as creating new features
to fuel growth. A focus on design and UX as well as a eagerness to
understand our users’ motivations is essential to this role.
