The Role at a Glance

This role sits within Good Growth’s Build team, where you will design, build, and maintain client Experiences using the Good Growth Technology platform.

You will work hands-on with front-end technologies, diving into existing websites, APIs, and data to develop features that directly impact how leading brands innovate and grow online.

This is a practical, problem-solving role. It is about understanding how things work, not just writing code.

Why This Role Matters

Many large organisations are held back by legacy technology. Good Growth exists to remove those barriers.

As a Software Developer, you will help clients move faster, experiment more, and optimise their digital experiences. Your work will have real-world impact, often tested against control variants and measured for performance.

You will collaborate closely with developers, analysts, and client teams, working across multiple projects in a varied and fast-moving environment.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Build and deliver client Experiences using the proprietary GGT platform
• Develop features using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and frameworks such as Preact

• Write end-to-end tests using frameworks such as Playwright to support monitoring
• Take part in the full software development lifecycle including scoping, development, QA, and review
• Collaborate with cross-functional squads including developers, analysts, and client teams
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code
• Participate in peer reviews and uphold development best practices
• Act as a technical point of contact on some client-facing calls
