Remote with Midlands in-person days | Better Futures Multi-Academy Trust
We are Better Futures Multi-Academy Trust, a group of sixth form colleges based in the Midlands. Inside the Trust, we are building two products that we believe can change how leadership development and student feedback work in education.
- Swaya is a student feedback app for iOS and Android.
- Both products are live, have paying clients, and are at the point where the right developer can help take them from promising to powerful.
- We are not a startup in a co-working space; we are a startup inside a well-resourced, stable organisation, which means you get the creative freedom and product ownership of early-stage work, alongside the security, benefits, and backing of a public sector employer.
Responsibilities include:
- Inheriting a solid Rails and React codebase and making it better.
- Managing iOS and Android app updates.
- Solving real UX problems.
- Shipping things that real users notice.
Requirements:
- Strong Ruby on Rails experience.
- React frontend skills and genuine care for UI/UX quality.
- Mobile app experience: iOS and Android (React Native, Flutter, or native).
0.6 FTE to start, with a clear path to full-time as the products grow.
Flexible, remote-first working with occasional in-person days in the Midlands.
Public sector pension and holiday entitlement.
