Forward Role Recruitment
Full Stack Developer | React | TypeScript | Tech for Good | Manchester Hybrid | £50,000 - £60,000
Do you want to build technology that genuinely makes a positive difference?
Are you looking to join a high-growth startup where you'll have real ownership, influence, and the opportunity to help shape both the product and engineering culture?
I'm currently partnered with a rapidly growing Tech for Good startup on a mission to make it easier for families to discover, book and manage enriching activities for children.
Founded by two parents, this platform helps to connect families with activity providers, community programmes and local organisations, encouraging children to spend more time learning new skills, staying active, and spending less time in front of screens.
The business has experienced exceptional growth, growing more than 10x since the start of the year and continuing to expand following a series of major new client wins
As a result, they're now looking to hire a Full Stack Developer to join their close-knit engineering team and help deliver the next phase of the product roadmap.
The Role
You'll be joining a small, collaborative team where engineers are encouraged to think beyond code and contribute to product direction, user experience and problem solving.
The focus over the next 6-12 months will be on building new features and products as the business continues investing heavily in its own technology platform.
You’ll be involved in:
- Greenfield feature development
- Building new user-facing functionality
- Reporting dashboards and internal tooling
- Improving the booking and checkout experience
- Frontend enhancements and UX improvements
- Future mobile application initiatives
- Contributing ideas around product and technical direction
What They're Looking For
- 3-5+ years commercial software development experience
- Experience building products, APIs and integrations
- Startup, scaleup, or highly autonomous product environment experience
- Strong problem-solving skills and a proactive mindset
- Someone who enjoys ownership and genuinely cares about the user experience
Nice to Have
- Experience using AI-assisted development tools such as Claude or Copilot
- Exposure to cloud infrastructure, deployments or DevOps
Why It's Interesting
- Genuine Tech for Good mission
- A business that's grown 10x this year
- Predominantly greenfield development
- High ownership and visibility within a small team
- Product-led culture where engineers have a voice
- Excellent opportunity to grow alongside a scaling business
- Strong focus on sustainable growth and work-life balance
Package
- Manchester hybrid (typically 3 days per week)
- High-growth startup environment
- Purpose-led product with real-world impact
- Strong progression opportunities
