Delivering the tests for our Test and Learn programmes - this involves using our GGT software and writing code for deployment into CRO tools.Contributing to our tooling layer - as a user of our tech you would be empowered to make changes to it based on what we learn through using it.
The process
Informal Interview (either in person or on video call) - this is for you to find out about Good Growth and us to find out more about you.Skills test - we will ask you to show evidence of your skills in a relevant area.
