Software Developer
Location: Birmingham or Exeter (hybrid working)
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 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.
Responsibilities
* Deliver digital Experiences for our clients – Using our proprietary GGT platform, develop Experiences (usually tested against control variants for impact) using HTML, CSS, JavaScript and front‑end frameworks such as Preact.
* Ensure consistent monitoring – Write end‑to‑end tests using Playwright as part of synthetic monitoring of Experiences on our clients’ sites.
* Take part in the entire Software Development Lifecycle – scoping, feasibility investigations, development, QA and feedback reviews, ensuring consistent quality through automated tests.
* Collaborate with cross‑functional teams – Work closely with developers, analysts and client teams to build innovative solutions through our squad approach.
* Write clean, maintainable code – Follow best practices in testing, peer reviews and development.
* Act as Technical Expert – May take part in client‑facing calls providing technical support.
What You’ll Love
* Working closely with cross‑functional teams
* Seeing the real‑world impact of your work with major brands
* Finding performant solutions to complex problems
* Being part of a collaborative and supportive team
* Working on multiple projects throughout the week
What the Role May Not Be Right For
* 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
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
* Proven track record of delivering projects on time
* Strong communication skills and ability to explain technical concepts to a non‑technical audience
* Ability to work from Good Growth office when required
Desirable Skills
* Experience with JavaScript frameworks (React, Vue, etc.)
* Familiarity with automated testing
* Exposure to CRO tools (Optimizely, Google Optimize, Monetate, etc.)
