mission.

Team Structure and Way of Work

  • Small, cross-functional teams take complete ownership of their focus area - and collaborate with product, data science, and UX to set goals and develop the most effective solutions to reach them.
  • Cross-team guilds focus on excellence in specific areas (languages, platforms), and provide an additional avenue of collaboration.
  • Teams are driven by, and measured on, results - not volume of work.

Technology

  • Our modern tech stack is constantly evolving and regular hack days give teams a chance to experiment and explore new technologies and ideas.
  • We are regularly recognised by the likes of Google for our best-in-class implementations of new frameworks.

Our Hiring Process

  • Telephone Interview - 30 minute phone conversation with someone from engineering leadership.
  • Small technical test - Online technical test relevant to the role and requirements.
  • 1st round Face to Face - Interview conducted by an engineering leader, along with a senior engineer.
  • 2nd Round Face to Face - Culture fit interview, most likely conducted with staff from other teams and/or a member of CxO.

Your First Month

  • Your First Day - Meet your team. Wider tech-team meet, greet and tour. Get plugged in; get your gear, biometrics, parking, and lunch is on us.
  • Your First Week - Setup your local environment. Discover the platform. Attend team specific training sessions. Code something amazing.
  • After 1 month - On-boarding follow-up interview with CTO and Engineering Manager.
