• Someone self-directed who owns features end to end, from concept through to production
• A genuine focus on the user and how your work affects their experience

Fully remote: work from home or a co-working space anywhere in the UK

Interview process: Fully remote and transparent, with an intro call, a career projects session where you present two projects you’ve worked on, a panel interview, then the offer stage

Team size: 28 across engineering and product

Benefits: Bupa private medical, life assurance, 4% employer pension (salary sacrifice), uncapped PTO, internet reimbursed, annual allowance for local meetups, and an all-expenses-paid annual offsite to a secret destination
