Senior Front End Developer

Location: London (we are a remote-first company, with co-working space in Uncommon’s Borough Offices)
Salary: £75,000 – 90,000

About us

Plants grow people. That’s the way we see it. From the moment you first put your fingers into soil. Your life changes. Mind calmer. Body stronger. A little spot to call your own. At Sproutl, we believe that gardening should be open to all. Who cares if you’ve never picked up a trowel before?

This is gardening made easy.

To us, a garden can be as small as a windowsill or a tiny rented patio. (Though a 1 acre plot is fine by us too). Your first wonky carrot. Sweet peas in a jar by the bed. This is life-changing stuff. A lifelong love affair between you and nature. That starts the moment you plant something.
