The Organise staff team pride ourselves on nimble, focused campaigns. That means our team is decisive, ambitious and happy to take risks. We’re characterised by our energy and enthusiasm; we’d rather aim high and see what happens, than play it safe. We’re passionate about putting Organise members first – we believe change happens when more people get involved. There are now over 250,000 people taking action with Organise. We currently operate in the UK, and are aiming to launch in the US in 2020.
We are seeking a mid-range or senior developer - we will generally expect applicants to have at least a few years of commercial web development experience. There are no formal education requirements for this role - as long as you can show us you have the skills we don’t mind where you got them from!
We build most of our software in Ruby (mostly Rails) and React, use Postgres hosted on AWS RDS for most of our databases, and use Heroku to host most of our web applications. If your previous experience is with a different tech stack but you'd enjoy learning ours next, then we're still interested in talking to you.
You will lead the technical development of our paid membership product and help to run the tech stack of Organise. You’ll play a pivotal role working alongside the CEO and CTO in taking the company to scale from pre-seed stage to series A. We're always working on ideas for what to build next. You'll need to communicate and collaborate with people across the whole organisation, and across our sister organisations in other countries around the world, to imagine, design, and build new features and new tools swiftly enough to support our members in this fast-moving worker's rights landscape.
