https://www.opendesk.cc is an open making platform based around workspace furniture. What's different about our furniture is that it's designed to be distributed as a digital file, downloaded and made locally anywhere in the world. We have a passionate early adopter community, a global network of professional makers and customers like Nike, Etsy, Arup and Digital Ocean.
We're mainly a London-based team of ~20 people working across web design & development, product design, CAD engineering and digital manufacturing. We're looking for a:
* Lead Developer
* Front-end Developer
* Full-stack / Systems Developer

You'll lead the development of our online systems. These include a marketing website, a fulfilment marketplace, a design publishing and distribution system and various online integrations.
You need to be full-stack unix, deep on web development with experience across multiple products / projects / stacks and languages. It's a practical, hands-on role leading the team, coding, code reviewing, writing specs, collaborating with designers, making system design and architectural decisions and generally using technology to get things done.
## Front-end Developer -- London, £20-35k
You'll develop front-end interfaces for our customer, maker and designer audiences. You need to be a strong Javascript, CSS and HTML developer able to work with Angular directives and Ruby-based CMS templates. You're comfortable refactoring to improving performance and maintainability.
## Full-stack / Systems Developer -- London or Remote, £20-40k
You're a full-stack polyglot developer happy to design and develop back-end systems, integrations and automated workflows. You'll inherit a medium sized Python web application (Pyramid, SQLAlchemy), Ruby content management system (Spontaneous.io) and a domain specific design publishing and distribution system (see https://opendesk.github.io/winnow/). Your job is to maintain and extend these systems and generally develop and improve our web applications, online systems and infrastructure.
