Our Mission
At Plinth, your primary responsibility will be to identify and resolve the pain points that make working in charity frustrating, inefficient, and demoralizing. Every task you undertake will align with this mission.
Your Role
Engage directly with users. You will visit charities and councils in cities like Belfast, Durham, Minneapolis, Warrington, and Slough to gain insights into their frustrations, and then you'll write code to address those issues.
Rapid shipping and iteration. Develop quick prototypes, gather authentic feedback, and refine your solutions into delightful products. Utilize AI tools to maximize efficiency and output.
Ownership of your projects. You will handle the entire development process of features in React/Next.js from inception through to deployment, taking full accountability for your work.
What You Will Avoid
Endless meetings to discuss ideas and write specifications.
Seeking approvals or waiting for designs.
Estimating story points or managing backlogs.
Indicators of Success
A user messages you saying, "This might sound silly, but..."
You witness a user's emotional reaction when you unveil your creation.
A user calls you a wizard while you code in their office during lunch.
Support We Offer
Direct access to customers — no intermediaries to filter feedback.
Budget for tools — we will fund what you need to enhance your productivity.
Sector expertise — we will equip you with the knowledge of the charity sector to build with true insight.
What We Seek
Passion. You have pursued a particular interest for years—whether it’s coding, history, or speedrunning. You understand the dedication it takes to achieve mastery.
Exceptional Skill. You possess a unique talent that sets you apart (top 0.1%). You know what it is and are proud of it.
