£25,200 - £30,000 (3 days per week, pro-rata from £42,000 - £50,000 FTE) Remote with UK Midlands in-person days | Better Futures Multi-Academy Trust
Most developer roles give you a stack to maintain. This one gives you a product to shape. We are Better Futures Multi-Academy Trust, a group of sixth form colleges based in the UK Midlands. Inside the Trust, we are building two products that we believe can change how leadership development and student feedback work in education and beyond.
- ARC is a 360-degree leadership platform that turns feedback into genuine behavioural change.
- Swaya is a student feedback app for iOS and Android.
Both are live, both have paying clients, and both 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. It is an unusual combination, and we think it is a genuinely good one.
What you will be doing:
- Taking ownership of ARC and Swaya – their development, their quality, their roadmap.
- Working directly with the founders on product direction.
- 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.
What we are looking for:
- Strong Ruby on Rails experience – production, not just tutorials.
- React frontend skills and genuine care for UI/UX quality.
- Mobile app experience: iOS and Android (React Native, Flutter, or native).
- Someone who thinks in products, not just tickets.
- Comfortable with ambiguity, honest about what they do not know, and quick to learn.
- UK-based, with the right to work without sponsorship.
What we offer:
- 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.
- CPD budget and genuine encouragement to develop your skills.
- A front-row seat on two products that are going somewhere – and a role in deciding where.
