We work with organisations like the British Labour Party, Unite the Union, 38 Degrees and Change.org to help them win progressive change.

Our main fields of work now are:\n- Ringround, enabling volunteers to collaboratively call and text voters and supporters, already used by Keir Starmer’s campaign to become Labour leader, Freedom from Torture & more. \n- Democracy, a live video conferencing & voting platform, used by many UK trade unions to enable their annual conferences capable of supporting up to 3,000 delegates in real-time video communication, as well as offering voting and breakout sessions\n- Pinpoint, a tool enabling hundreds of personalised Facebook ad creatives to be targeted to different regions and/or custom segments, to increase conversions and impact\n- ShareHarder.

We’re looking for someone who we can build a long-term working relationship with, who can build a deep familiarity with our products and codebases. \n\nYou will be working across all of our core products at different stages. Our primary development scheduled for the immediate future is focused on the Ringround product, but there is ongoing development happening on each of the products. We are a small team, and are looking for someone flexible, who enjoys getting to grips with a variety of codebases and taking steps to actively improve them.\n\nSince we’re a worker-owned co-op, if we all enjoy working together, there is a path after a year to becoming a full partner in the business with an equal ownership stake as the rest of us, along with the responsibility and benefits that provides. \n\nHowever, it’s not mandatory - if you’d rather keep freelancing, then that won’t affect your application or how we work together at all. \n\n### You’ll enjoy this role if:\n- You want to use your technical skills to make real progressive change\n- You enjoy working in a small team and seeing the impact of your work day-by-day\n- You enjoy solving technical problems \n- You like to prototype and experiment with new technology\n- You’re quick on your feet and experienced applying a range of approaches to debugging issues that arise\n- You’re pragmatic about when applying “best practices” will pay off versus when it’s just box ticking\n- You’re motivated by seeing your code running in production and having a positive political impact\n\n### Our technology stack\nWe work primarily in Ruby on Rails for back-end and React for front-end. Most of our applications have a heavy real-time component or are complete SPAs, so we use a lot of websocket communication backed by Pusher, Anycable and Redis. We have been actively working on a library, called Jason, which allows us to subscribe the frontend to updates from any Rails model as soon as it is edited, with almost no boilerplate code required.\n\nWe also enjoy working with telephony and video technologies - Ringround integrates heavily with many aspects of Twilio’s infrastructure and Democracy uses the video API platform Vonage.\n\nGenerally we keep deployment as simple as possible, relying on Heroku and AWS services such as RDS and S3, so DevOps requirements are fairly light. \n\n### Essential skills and experience\n- 3+ years professional full-stack web development experience\n- Ruby on Rails\n- React, using the new Hooks API\n- Rspec\n\n### Nice to have skills and experience\n*Note: We don’t expect any applicant to have all of these - so don’t be put off applying if you don’t!*\n- Redux (or similar state management libraries)\n- Previous experience building real-time apps using WebSockets\n- Browser testing using Cypress, Selenium or similar\n- Javascript testing using Jest\n- Working knowledge of key AWS services\n- SQL for analytics\n- App monitoring and performance analysis using NewRelic\n- Machine learning experience with tabular data using libraries like XgBoost or LightGBM\n- Twilio\n- Vonage\n \n\nPlease mention the word **RECTIFICATION** when applying to show you read the job post completely (#RMjE2LjczLjIxNi4yNTA=). This is a feature to avoid spam applicants. Companies can search these words to find applicants that read this and see they're human.\n\n \n\n#Salary and compensation\n $100,000 — $150,000/year\n \n\n#Location\neurope (+/- 3 hours GMT)
