Careers

Senior people, small teams, real production.

If your idea of a good week is getting a hard system past a sceptical review board, you will like it here. We hire slowly, pay properly, and give people the whole problem rather than a ticket queue.

01
You own the problem

From the feasibility question to the thing running in production, not a spec handed off.

02
Small teams, senior only

Four or five people per engagement. There is no pyramid to hide in and no junior tier doing the real work.

03
We say no to work

If a client wants a demo dressed as a system, we decline. That is why the delivery record holds up.

04
Craft is not a slogan

Time is budgeted for evaluation, documentation and cleanup because that is what makes systems survive.

Hiring process

Four conversations. No take-home marathon.

We will not ask you to spend a weekend on a fake problem. The technical stage is a real design discussion drawn from work we actually did, and you can bring your own example instead if you prefer.

01
Intro call, 30 minutes
What you have built, what you want next. A hiring manager, not a recruiter reading a script.
02
Design discussion, 90 minutes
A real problem from our work, or one of yours. Collaborative, not adversarial.
03
Team conversation, 60 minutes
The people you would work beside every day, including one from outside your discipline.
04
Offer, within a week
Numbers, level and scope in writing. We do not negotiate against another candidate.
Working here

The things people actually ask about.

Compensation
Benchmarked to the top quartile for the market you sit in, reviewed annually without you asking.
Hybrid, honestly
Two days together where there is an office, fully remote where there is not. We do not police it.
Learning budget
An annual allowance and the time to use it, including conference speaking if that is your thing.
Earned leave
Accrued through the year and yours to plan with. Leads are measured on whether their team actually takes it.
Sick leave
Separate from earned leave, so being unwell does not cost you a holiday. No doctor’s note theatre for a day or two.
Maternity leave
Full statutory cover with a return plan agreed in advance rather than improvised in the last week.
Leave without pay
For the long trip, the family situation or the thing you need more than money. Approved case by case, without a fuss.
Health cover
Insurance for you and your immediate family from day one, not after a probation clock runs out.

Nothing fits, but you think we should talk?

We have created roles for people before. Tell us what you are good at and what you want to be doing in two years, and skip the cover letter.
