In Brief:

This not for profit has an interesting history and are a great story. They’ve matured into an organisation that is not only established, but a key resource for young people who are battling anything from everyday issues to tough times. As digital leaders in youth mental health, they’ve pioneered products helping those looking for practical support every day online.

About the role:

They’re looking for a Front End Developer to work in a small agile team. It is a great time to join, as they've got a busy pipeline of work on new existing products.

A big focus for the organisation has been on personalising content to the needs of each helpseeker. From a development point of view this will mean building the front end components that hook into Uniform (a personalisation engine) to create a seamless experience across their headless CMS (Contentful). They’re about to build out the UI for a tool leveraging generative AI, to provide bespoke content based on questions from helpseekers.

Some key points:

• Currently working with JavaScript (TypeScript) React, NextJS, Node, Contentful and AWS
• Other tooling includes Cypress, Playwright, Browserstack, Axe CircleCI, Vercel, Git, Jira, Trello, Confluence, Slack and Notion.
• Very little legacy code with a modern tech stack.
• Work from end to end and see features through to production.
• Small diverse team with a great culture.

This is a chance to get in on the ground floor and shape some new products, and existing products with a very current tech stack.

The mission for these applications is a good one too. They’ll have a real impact on real people every single day. In mental health, sometimes a very small interaction can make an enormous difference.

About you:

You have experience in a similar role under your belt, and bring the following to the table:

• JavaScript experience ideally using a modern JS framework (React ideally however other frameworks ok too).
• An ability to write maintainable well tested solutions.
• User empathy, and the ability to keep the customer front and centre when building software.
• Excellent communication skills.

This is a great opportunity to join a small digital team in a role with enormous variety and a socially good cause. Currently the team are working hybrid 2 days in the office per week in Sydney.
