Contract position: 40-80 hours per month initially, to increase
Autumn 2019, with option to move to employee position rather than
contract later in the year. £45/hour.
Our Lead Developer will be responsible for the maintenance and
development of a single-page typescript web app using angular; a mobile
version of the application written using react native; and a rest api
app server written using node.js.
You would be the sole developer initially, picking up a sturdy, well
documented codebase. We’d be looking to grow the development team in
2020 and beyond with your support.
We are looking for someone excited by the idea of growing and
improving a piece of software that is evangelised by it’s flourishing
community. You have to want to make it better. You will work directly
with the CEO to plan and spec features and will work with the Writer
Support, Clare, to work on and rectify bugs.
You will have a lot of autonomy and input into the product roadmap if you want it.
We would like you to be able to work some fixed hours (Eg. Monday and
Wednesday afternoons GMT) and then some roaming hours on your own
schedule - this is to allow for collaboration with the team on changes
and bug fixes but also maintenance work as and when it is needed.
For summer 2019, we need between 40 and 80 hours of development but
expect that this will rise significantly from October ‘19 - ideally you
would be in a position to pick up more work or move to a fixed contract
later in the year.
