> And as with any government effort, it is still less efficient because of its much bigger bureaucratic overhead.

Government programmes aren’t always less efficient than their private equivalents, e.g. the NHS in the UK is more efficient than many private healthcare systems (source: https://www.bmj.com/content/343/bmj.d5143)

Farewill | Full-stack Software Engineer (React/Node.js) | London, UK | Full time, ONSITE

We are hiring a Full-stack Software Engineer (React/Node.js) with experience working on e-commerce platform(s) at scale, driven to build products that make a difference.

Since launching in November of 2016 we've grown rapidly and are soon to be the largest will writer in England and Wales - we're not content with that though, looking to expand into further territories and other areas of the death industry in the coming months.

Last month we topped Product Hunt (https://www.producthunt.com/posts/farewill) and Designer News (https://www.designernews.co/stories/84813-rebranding-death--...).

Oh, and we've already had over £10 million left for charities on our platform too which is a nice bonus!

Either message me or apply here: https://farewill.com/careers

JS Engineer | farewill.com | London | Full time | Onsite

We’re on a mission to change the way the world deals with death. We’re looking for a software engineer with experience working on an e-commerce platform at scale, to help us architect, build and operate the services and interface that powers the Farewill product. You will be a key player in a team who redefines how people deal with the one thing we all experience.

You'll work closely with our cofounder and CTO, Tom, together responsible for delivering a service that is transforming tens of thousands, then hopefully millions of people's experience of thinking about and planning for their deaths. This is no ordinary job.

We’re an agile product squad so you’ll work directly with our founders, Head of Product and Lead Designer, also working closely with our Partnerships Lead and Customer Care team. Our product, customer base, partnerships and team are all scaling fast - we're a well funded team of fast-learners looking for a talented, multi disciplinary, independently minded engineer to join our team of 6 to make our collective vision a reality.

We’re backed by world class investors - the founders of Zoopla and Wonga, M&C Saatchi and Kindred Capital - and working on a problem that’s as big as they come. This is an unusual, fascinating, sometimes sad, sometimes hilarious area to work in – if you’re up for a big challenge we would love to meet you.
