We’re hiring a React developer for our mental health startup! (web or native)

We are looking for an awesome React (web or native) developer to join our fully remote team.

If you’re an experienced developer who is passionate about mental health, startups, and working remotely — we’ve got the job for you.

We have a React native app and a React.js platform, and we need talent for both, if you are familiar with either, please read on:

We don’t believe in being stuck in a boring 9-to-5; clocking in and clocking out. We believe that a job you love is a job worth doing. We work with purpose and meaning — for ourselves, and for our users.

What working with us is like:

• We’re small, but ambitious — We have found an untapped market, with customers asking us “when will this be ready?“. We work smart and agile as we have big goals and are paving the way to building a beautiful product that helps people everywhere.
• We’re always learning — Products never succeed in a silo. They’re only successes when they’re in the hands of people, and they don’t want to let go! We strive to always be learning; be it new research studies, constant user feedback, or a new design methodology.
• We value teamwork & collaboration — They say Rome wasn’t built in a day, but it also wasn’t built alone. We work together, not apart in silos.
• We value initiative — We’re not looking for mindless drones! The business is in everyone’s hands, not the select few. If you’ve opinions or feedback, we want to hear it.
• We’re remote & flexible — We don’t believe in rigid work schedules or the old-school management method of watching your every move (rolls eyes). We don’t compromise on the things that matter (our values, our mission and our users), but we leave a lot of the rest up to you (your hours, your attire, etc.). The position is fully remote, so you have the flexibility to be wherever you need to be.
• We value taking care of your mental health — It goes without saying that we value good mental health for everyone on the team. To quantify that: taking mental health days is not only allowed, but expected. Our flexible working policy means you’re free to schedule a therapy session for yourself in the middle of your work day, or arrange for your work day to fit around your needs.
• We have fun too! — Work takes up way too much of your life to not have fun while working. We work hard, but we make sure we’re creating a healthy, friendly and fun work environment too. Team culture is something we never lose sight of.

What does the right person look like?

This is for the role of React developer, web or native. You’ll be working with our existing product team in the development of the Bravely platform, together with designers and researchers.

You’ll have had prior experience building apps with React, either on web or mobile. Having experience with Google Cloud Firestore, or using the other React library will be highly valuable. Any experience with startups, psychology, therapy or mental health will also be really helpful, but not necessary.

You should be responsible, proactive, and organised, with a personal belief in constantly improving and iterating. We want to explicitly state that you can be of any nationality, race, gender, sexual orientation or religion. The only requirement we have is for you to be open-minded and tolerant of anyone different to you. And if you’re the type to share funny video alongside thoughtful articles, we welcome you with open arms!

Bravely is fully bootstrapped. We’re on the lookout for someone to join us in this important developer role, the amount of work (FT/PT) can be discussed.

We strongly believe in personal development, sharing knowledge, and growing not just as individuals but as a team. This won’t just be about logging in and doing the work, while with us you will gain valuable experience on user first development, startups and development skills from our ex-Microsoft Research CTO.

What skills and traits are we looking for?

• A strong background of at least 5 years working as a developer, with robust, recent experience in React.js or React Native would be ideal, but both would be fantastic.
• Experience as a lead developer on digital products.
• Must be able to make team meetings between 3–7pm GMT+8 on Mondays to Fridays.
• Someone who believes in user-research and design-led products.
• Familiar with startup minded businesses — specifically with being lean, agile and to expect iterations with continuous user feedback.
• Ability and ambitious to one day lead a development team.
• Possession of a clear, organised workflow, who writes clean, well-maintained code.
• An awesome attitude + no ego + team-player (no lone wolves).
• Constantly learning and sharing knowledge + seeks out, appreciates and also returns feedback.
• Experience with working remotely is ideal but not necessary.
