Work with Great People

We’re a small, high-performance team who care about what we’re working on and each other.

• A flexible working environment - as long as the results are getting delivered, just figure out a schedule that works for you.
• A good salary, pencilled in at GBP 70-90k based on ability, can be traded off against equity depending on what you want.

Things We’ll Need From You

• To perform well in a semi/unstructured working environment.
• To talk directly to the people using the software we build and empathise with their issues to prioritise our work.
• A strong appreciation for the entire application stack that you're workin on, from button click handles to database indexes and how they all fit together
• To be able to provide and receive clear and honest communication.
• A broad sense of responsibility - it’s a startup: nothing is someone else’s job.
