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 where we function at unparalleled levels of effectiveness and efficiency. We create value for shareholders at an extraordinary rate while adhering to high ethical standards.
To achieve this objective, we execute the following strategy: acquire a digital business with untapped potential and leverage our platform—comprising our expertise, technologies, data, brand, talents, and company culture—to make it successful. We then invest the proceeds in strengthening the platform and acquiring new businesses, combining investor capital allocation with hands‑on operational expertise.
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.
Responsibilities
* Master your toolkit. By working across diverse tech stacks, you’ll refine your ability to choose the right tools for every challenge. From monolithic to microservices architectures, gRPC to REST APIs, Kubernetes to Docker, Python to Rust—you’ll show that true expertise isn’t about using the trendiest technologies, but about understanding their purpose to unleash their full potential.
* Build stuff that matters. Regardless of your seniority, you’ll enjoy plenty of autonomy and take full ownership of your work, from ideation to execution. You’ll have the unique opportunity to build software from the ground up and witness firsthand how your code evolves into a product used at scale.
* Simplify relentlessly. Is every component essential? Do we need this process? As an engineer, your mission is to turn complexity into simplicity. Whether optimizing CI/CD pipelines, writing maintainable code, or crafting minimalist architectures, your drive to simplify will power scalable, future-proof solutions.
Qualifications
* Reasoning ability. Given the necessary knowledge, you can solve complex problems. You think from first principles, structure ideas sharply, resist biases, and attend to the details that matter.
* Drive. You’re extremely ambitious in everything you do—and your initiative, effort, and tenacity match the intensity of your ambition. You feel deeply responsible for your work and hold yourself to a high—and rising—bar.
* Team spirit. You give generously without expecting anything in return, support the best idea over your own, and are reliable, honest, and transparent.
* Proficiency in English. You read, write, and speak English proficiently.
Benefits
* Incredibly talented, entrepreneurial teams. You’ll work in small, result‑oriented, autonomous teams alongside some of the brightest people in your field.
* An exceptional opportunity for growth. We prioritize placing high‑potential individuals in roles where they can thrive. Spooners in their 20s lead products worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and if you have what it takes, you’ll soon play an essential role in major projects.
* Competitive pay and equity. Typically, we offer a starting salary of £83,997 in London and €63,965 elsewhere in Europe. For candidates with substantial experience, the offer ranges £110,389–£194,964 in London and €105,737–€186,748 elsewhere. Compensation grows rapidly with experience and impact. You may also receive company equity at a discounted price.
* All the benefits you can think of. Flexible hours, remote work, unlimited learning and training support, top‑of‑the‑market health insurance, a generous relocation package, parental support, and a yearly retreat to a stunning location. We help each team member set conditions to do their best work.

Selection Process
If you pass our screening, we’ll ask you to take on a few tests designed to assess how you approach unfamiliar problems. They’re challenging and may take several hours to complete. If successful, we’ll invite you to a series of interviews.
We set the bar high and won’t extend an offer until we’re convinced we’ve found the right candidate. This is why a job may stay open for months or be reposted several times.

Before you apply
If you’ve applied before but didn’t receive an offer, we recommend waiting at least one year before applying again.
Bending Spoons is a demanding environment. We’re extremely ambitious and hold ourselves—and one another—to a high standard. While this leads to extraordinary learning, achievement, and career growth, it also requires significant commitment.
To help you ramp up quickly and set yourself up for success, we recommend spending the first few months working from our Milan office, regardless of your long‑term work location. We’ll support you with generous travel and accommodation assistance. After that, you’re welcome to work from our offices in Milan or London, or remotely from approved countries—depending on what we agree at the offer stage.
