You’ll be working directly with the CTO on a SaaS platform (https://yourtradebase.com) that helps service businesses grow and manage their day to day business operations.Enthusiasm, organisation, clear writing, honest communication and a love to collaborate are essential.

While this is a remote position we are only looking for people based in the UK or Ireland, you must be legally allowed to work in the UK and speak english as if it’s your first language.
If you get enjoyment from refining features based on user feedback until it is as good as it can be you’re the type of person we’re looking for. Our customers value the ease of use and time saving our product provides so our features need to be built with maximum usability in mind at every step.
You'll be responsible for helping us develop and build new features, maintaining a fully-tested code base, pitching in with ideas and deploying code to our staging and production environments.
In return for your time, energy and passion, we'll give you a fun, human, and professional environment for you to grow within, a Macbook Pro to work from, and time to develop yourself. You’ll get 10% time to work on your own projects/skills within working hours. We are offering a salary range of £25-40k depending on experience and ability.
We have an expanding customer base of thousands, tons of potential, a round of investment and lots of great ideas to realise... We're looking for someone to help us develop our product and grow with us.
