Front End Developer, Part-Time

ABOUT GOODR

We create and sell $25 active sunglasses for anyone. No slip, no bounce, all polarized, all fun. Interested in joining our team? Keep reading.

OUR VALUES: We have two core values: Fun & Authenticity.

• FUN = Being sh*tty isn’t fun. Agreed? Taking pride in your work, finding joy in being GREAT, and celebrating wins… and losses. Now, that’s fun!


• AUTHENTICITY = Focusing on being authentic over being liked. (Next-level guru stuff. Count it.)

Fun Fact: We do not allow email to be sent internally. Carrier pigeons only. JK, we use Slack.

AUTONOMY: We practice autonomy, empowerment, and accountability so that every team member can be in control of their own life.

• HYBRID WORKING: Most roles are only required to be in office every Tuesday and Thursday with the occasional third day thrown in.

SUSTAINABILITY: We think Earth’s pretty rad. That’s why we take action wherever possible to limit our impact on the planet.

• 1% FOR THE PLANET MEMBER: 1% of goodr’s annual sales go directly to environmental organizations.


• CARBON NEUTRAL: In 2019, goodr became a 100% carbon neutral company .

Fun Fact: Each year we create limited-edition sunglasses made from 100% recycled materials called “These Shades are Trash”. Check out a pair and join the movement!
