🌈 Our Mission & Vision

At Good Growth, we help businesses innovate online without being slowed down by outdated technology. Many large companies rely on legacy systems - where others see a limitation, we see an opportunity.
Our mission is to tear down barriers to growth, helping brands move fast, innovate boldly, and optimise their digital experiences. We combine extraordinary technology with world‑class data and insight to deliver results that redefine what’s possible in digital commerce.

🌳 Why This Role Matters

Joining Good Growth as a Software Developer, you’ll be part of our close‑knit Build team, building and maintaining client ‘Experiences’ through the Good Growth Technology (GGT) platform. GGT acts as an overlay on top of existing websites, and you’ll use your knowledge in front‑end technologies, problem solving skills and logical thinking to rapidly develop new features that will directly impact how our clients innovate and grow online.
This role is more than just about writing code; you’ll be solving real‑world problems, using DevTools to dive deep into existing websites and leveraging existing APIs to develop new solutions that make a meaningful impact.

🔥 You’ll love this role if you enjoy

• Working closely with cross functional teams
• Seeing the real‑world impact of your work with major brands
• Finding performative solutions to complex problems
• Being part of a collaborative and supportive team
• A varied work‑week where you get to work on multiple projects

❌ This role may not be right for you if

• You prefer a rigid, structured corporate environment
• You want to specialise in one language or framework only
• You’re looking for a purely remote role with no in‑office collaboration

📌 What You’ll Be Doing

Working as a Software Developer at Good Growth is varied, and your work will evolve over time. However, your initial focus and tasks include:

• Delivering digital Experiences for our clients – Using our proprietary GGT platform, you’ll develop Experiences (usually tested against control variants for impact) using a mixture of HTML, CSS, JavaScript and other front‑end frameworks like Preact. You’ll also get a chance to work with other proprietary tools and APIs specific to the GGT platform.
• Ensure consistent monitoring is in place – using testing frameworks like Playwright you’ll write E2E tests which form part of our synthetic monitoring of Experiences on our clients’ sites.
• Take part in the entire Software Development Lifecycle – This includes scoping and feasibility investigations, development of Experiences, QA and feedback reviews and ensuring consistent quality throughout the lifecycle of the Experience through automated tests.
• Collaborating with cross‑functional teams – You’ll work closely with developers, analysts, and client teams to build innovative solutions through our squad approach.
• Writing clean, maintainable code – We value quality, and you’ll help ensure best practices in testing, peer reviews, and development.
• Become the Technical Expert – You may take part in some client facing calls as part of the squad, offering your knowledge and support from a technical point of view.

📝 About You

We’re looking for problem‑solvers and logical thinkers, not just coders.You enjoy finding efficient solutions to complex problems by understanding the ‘Why’ as much as the ‘How’. You enjoy exploring how a site works, leveraging existing APIs and data to your benefit.

Essential Skills

• Vanilla JavaScript, HTML, and CSS
• 1‑3 years of commercial development experience
• A proven track record of delivering projects on time
• Strong communication skills and the ability to communicate technical concepts to a non‑technical audience
• Ability to work from a Good Growth office when required

Desirable Skills (Not a dealbreaker if you don’t have them!)

• Experience with JavaScript frameworks (React, Vue, etc.)
• Familiarity with automated testing
• Exposure to CRO tools (Optimizely, Google Optimize, Monetate, etc.)

• £30,000 - £40,000 (dependent on experience)
• 28 days annual leave (+ bank holidays)
• Flexible & hybrid working
