Our Culture

At Afferent we have a start-up culture with relaxed dress, flexible working hours and an energising vibe but with the comfort of knowing the company has been around 16 years. When we're in the office, we have lunch together every Friday and love grabbing a few beers in the Square after work with colleagues after a long day. We are focused on building our people and helping them achieve their career goals, recognising that without happy, productive staff we have no business.

Our Engineering Processes

Our processes depend on the team and product. While all teams use Agile methodologies, they are given a lot of flexibility as to how they deliver high quality solutions. Rather than box people into roles, we encourage flexibility and getting out of your comfort zone. We work very closely with our customers throughout the development lifecycle and strive for continuous improvement, both at a development level and in the company generally.

We start with a screen call or face-to-face meeting, chatting through your CV and what you've been doing as well as some general people/thinking/soft-skill questions. We are highly protective of our culture and are looking to ensure a good fit.
