code when you write it

your horizons and developing yourself. When it comes to engineering, you enjoy wearing
multiple hats

metrics tell us otherwise

Hours. We work Monday to Friday, 9 to 6 UK time with an hour lunch. We are a close-knit, fully remote team.
Growth. We care about your professional development and expect you to invest in it:
We offer a £1000 L&D allowance, which renews annually. Permissible expenses include online courses, certifications, shared resources for the tech team (e.g. books or certain tutorial websites) etc.
We set aside 1 working day per month for professional development.
We set aside 1 working day per month for hackathons.
We run regular brown bag lunches and would expect you to contribute to these.
We are open to new initiatives on learning and development, e.g. engineering katas.
We offer employee progression plans.
Health. Your physical wellbeing is important to us. You can expense up to $25/month in local gym costs / online memberships to fitness organisations like NEOU.
Holidays. We offer 25 days of annual leave + 8 UK national holidays (33 days total). Note that the UK has slightly fewer national holidays than Ukraine, so if you wanted to take all the Ukrainian national days, you’d dip into your 25 day allowance.
Probation. Our standard probation period is 90 days (3 months)
