Why apply
Looking for a good job in a fun company building exciting startups? We offer flexible working, paid holidays, laptop and bonuses related to business success.
Work at your own pace
We don’t believe that productivity is a 9 AM to 5 PM thing. It’s about owning tasks and projects whilst working as part of a remote team. We encourage our team to make time for experiences, friends and fun… and if you want to, to build your own venture.
Live Where You Want
We live and work as distributed teams from different time zones (based between UK and Easter Europe), and have optimised the business to do this with great results. So you can live and work just about wherever you want, only delivering results for the team matter.
Enjoy your holidays
Enjoy time with your family and friends, travel, discover and adventure (or game if you prefer). We offer 24 paid days during the year and have a relaxed policy around this - we’re all adults and as long as projects get delivered, it’s all good.
Work With a Very Talented Team
Our team counts numerous experts, smart young people with various talents, eager for new experiences, full of energy and enthusiasm, so we would like you to enjoy us and to contribute to our synergy. UX, conversion rate experts, talented engineers and commercial experts - we have it all in our quest to help our startup partner become successful.
Work with awesome Client partners
We’ve worked with major companies like Canon, Louis Vuitton or Ikea - but really prefer building, from the ground up, exciting startups. Some of our ex clients have now raised millions and grown into successful ventures. We also love working on purpose driven projects: a search engine donating its profits to ecological causes, a mental health AI driven learning platform and children communication charity for example…
Yearly Company Retreats
A key to making a remote team work well is culture - and as part of that, an annual in person catchup is a great way of getting to know each other, communicate, celebrate and share experience.
Learn More and enrich your experience
We promote a learning environment and we aren’t satisfied with our current level of knowledge. We encourage ourselves and every newcomer to learn more, adopt new knowledge, try new programming languages, and adopt innovations in existing and new technologies. We want to learn more, so tell us what you want to learn and we’ll help you.
