About Impact Box
Impact Box’s mission is to transform how the social sector uses technology to drive social impact. We want to bring about a sector that is more impactful, efficient and data-driven. We work towards this by partnering with charities and social enterprises to provide outstanding software solutions that address the day-to-day challenges they face. Using our knowledge and experience of the sector we are able to design solutions that help organisations deliver on their mission.
Our work covers both one-off projects and ongoing support arrangements. Since launching in early 2016 we’ve worked with over 30 organisations working in areas including education, health, development and homelessness.
The role
We are looking for an outstanding individual to join our team as a:
Developer
Location: Central London
Salary: £30,000 - £40,000 (plus bonus)
Hours: 37.5 per week
Starts: October 2018 (negotiable)
Applications Close: 12 noon on Tuesday 28th August
The Developer will play a critical role in creating innovative software for our clients that solves real-world problems.
We are looking for someone who is passionate about the work we do, would thrive in the fast-paced environment of a small start-up and is excited by the prospect of being instrumental in creating cutting-edge software for charities and social enterprises.
Our technology stack is based on the Salesforce platform which is widely used by charities. In technical terms that means the code we write is either in Apex (essentially a version of Java used by Salesforce) or JavaScript as part of Salesforce’s Lightning Component Framework (similar to React, Angular or Vue). The successful candidate would be working with both of these languages. We have extensive developer expertise in-house who would be able to provide significant training. As such we do not think a lack of experience with the Salesforce platform should be a barrier to applying.
As an organisation we are looking to grow significantly over the next 3 years. That will include exploring product-development in addition to one-off project delivery. This means that the successful candidate will be working on interesting and varied software projects from the start, as well as having significant influence on the technical direction of the organisation. As such we this role will offer a significant level of autonomy and opportunities for progression.

- Writing unit tests
- Contributing to our internal code conventions and standards
- Configuring continuous integration and version control tools
- Providing code review for other members of the team
- Supporting colleagues responsible for implementing declarative solutions (i.e. non-code) with deployment and version control
Person specification
You need to have:
- Solid experience of object-oriented programming (preferably with some knowledge of Java or similar)
- Experience of version control using Git
- Some familiarity with component-based web frameworks (e.g. React, Angular, Vue) and JavaScript

- Experience of developing software in a way that is responsive to end-user requirements
