Join to apply for the Software engineer role at Bending Spoons
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, functions at unparalleled levels of effectiveness and efficiency, and creates value for shareholders at an extraordinary rate—all while adhering to high ethical standards.
We achieve this by acquiring digital businesses with untapped potential and making them successful through our platform of expertise, technologies, data, brand, talents, and culture. We then invest to strengthen that platform and acquire new businesses, combining investor capital allocation with hands‑on operator expertise.
Responsibilities
* Master your toolkit. Work across diverse tech stacks, refining your ability to choose the right tools for each challenge. From monolithic to microservices architectures, gRPC to REST APIs, Kubernetes to Docker, Python to Rust, you’ll demonstrate true expertise by understanding each tool’s purpose and unleashing its full potential.
* Build stuff that matters. Regardless of seniority, you’ll enjoy autonomy and take full ownership from ideation to execution. You’ll build software from the ground up and witness your code evolve into a product used at scale.
* Simplify relentlessly. Turn complexity into simplicity—whether optimizing CI/CD pipelines, writing maintainable code, or crafting minimalist architectures, your drive to simplify powers scalable, future‑proof solutions.
Qualifications
* Reasoning ability. Solve complex problems using first principles, structure ideas sharply, resist bias, and focus on the details that matter.
* Drive. Extremely ambitious, with initiative, effort, and tenacity that match the intensity of your ambition. Feel deeply responsible for your work and hold yourself to a high, rising bar.
* Team spirit. Give generously without expectation of return, support the best idea, not your own, and be reliable, honest, and transparent.
* Proficiency in English. Read, write, and speak English proficiently.
Benefits
* Incredibly talented, entrepreneurial teams. Work in small, result‑oriented, autonomous teams alongside some of the brightest people in your field.
* An exceptional opportunity for growth. We hire individuals of outstanding potential and place them in roles where they can thrive. Spooners in their early 20s lead products worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
* Competitive pay and equity. Typical starting salary ranges from £83,997 (London) to €63,965 (Europe) for early careers, and up to £194,964 (London) or €186,748 (Europe) for experienced candidates. Equity is offered at a discounted price. Relocation perks may include tax cuts.
