Front-End Developer roles at JustGiving
Front-End Developer

We’re looking for a passionate and experienced Front-End Developer to join our team at JustGiving. This is a full-time role based in our offices at Paddington, central London.

About us

JustGiving is the UK’s leading provider of online fundraising services to charities and their supporters. We currently have around 8000+ charity clients and over 8 million users of our online services. Since our launch, we have helped ordinary people raise extraordinary amounts of money, over £526 million, for the causes that they care about.

We think JustGiving is a very interesting place to work. We have a pretty flat structure, with people working in multidisciplinary project teams to get things done. Everyone who works here has a voice and a stake in the business. We have unusual investors, who believe in growing our business in a balanced, sustainable way (they have yet to take a penny of profits out of the business). In 2009, we were awarded “Best use of Technology” at The Sunday Times Tech Track 100.

•	Sharing knowledge with fellow front-end developers to create a world-class front-end team
