<div dir="auto">Hi fellow LRUGgers,<br>
<br>
The organisation I work for, Chapter One, is looking for another Full Stack Developer to join our small team – currently myself, another back end developer, tech lead, and data engineer. We're an international organisation – I'm currently the only tech team member based in the UK – and the hiring's being managed from the US, so salary and benefits in the main ad reflect that; however, we are looking in the UK as well. <br>
<br>
Everybody's fully remote, and the time difference means that I can have a morning full of solo working and an afternoon for the collaborative work, so it's actually quite a nice setup. Plus, it's nice to work in an environment, and for a sector, that is really making a difference (more about what we do below).<br>
<br>
The official ad copy is below. You can also find it at https://www.indeed.com/job/senior-full-stack-developer-b7249afe977b91a3?_gl=1*oly251*_gcl_au*NzU0MTcyMjIuMTcxMzI3MzQzNw which is also the link to apply. If you want to chat to me about it first, you can contact me at <scott@matthewman.net> or <scott.matthewman@chapterone.org>. <br>
