Overview
At Bending Spoons, we’re striving to build one of the all-time great companies. A company that serves a huge number of customers, where team members grow to their full potential, and that operates with exceptional effectiveness and efficiency. We pursue value creation with high ethical standards.
We acquire a digital business with untapped potential and make it successful by leveraging our platform—our expertise, technologies, data, brand, talents, and company culture. The proceeds are reinvested to strengthen our platform and to acquire new businesses, combining an investor’s capital allocation with an operator’s hands-on approach.
For a talented, driven, and collaborative individual, working at Bending Spoons is an opportunity to learn, make an impact, and progress their career at an exceptionally high rate. That’s our promise to such a candidate.
Recruiting is a strategic function at Bending Spoons. Our long-term success depends on talent density, which is why we invest in building one of the most advanced, research-driven, and technology-enabled Talent teams in the world.
We are dozens of professionals—including engineers, AI researchers, data scientists, product designers, and hiring managers—working to solve one of the hardest problems in business: how to consistently identify, select, and develop extraordinary professionals.
