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, operates at unparalleled levels of effectiveness and efficiency, and creates value for shareholders at an extraordinary rate—all while adhering to high ethical standards.
In pursuit of this objective, we acquire and improve digital businesses to own and operate them for the long term. The transformations we make are often deep—designed to speed up innovation, benefit customers, and strengthen business performance. Here, hierarchy is minimal, teams are small and talent-dense, and we integrate AI deeply into how we work so that human judgment and machine intelligence reinforce each other.
Responsibilities
* Build software that matters. Take real ownership from idea to production, creating systems used by millions and evolving them into products at scale.
* Amplify your impact with AI. Integrate powerful AI tools directly into your development workflow—design, implementation, testing, and documentation—to move faster while maintaining high standards for correctness, reliability, and maintainability.
* Master your toolkit. Work across diverse stacks with end-to-end ownership, choosing the right technologies for each challenge. From monoliths to microservices, gRPC to REST, Kubernetes to Docker, Python to Rust—you’ll apply technologies thoughtfully, focusing on depth and purpose rather than trends.
* Simplify relentlessly. Question every layer of complexity. Improve architectures, pipelines, and codebases to build systems that are simpler, more scalable, and easier to maintain.
Qualifications
* Reasoning ability. Solve complex problems by first principles, structuring ideas sharply and resisting biases while taking care of critical details.
* Drive. Demonstrate extreme ambition, initiative, effort, and tenacity. Hold yourself to a high, rising bar and feel deeply responsible for your work.
* Team spirit. Give generously and without expectation of return, support the best idea, not yours, and be reliable, honest, and transparent.
* Proficiency in English. Read, write, and speak proficiently in English.
What we offer
* 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. Hire individuals of outstanding potential into roles where they can lead products worth hundreds of millions of dollars and play essential roles in major projects.
* Competitive pay and access to equity. Typical offers range from £85,797 (London) to €66,065 (other European locations) for early-career talent; higher ranges reflect greater experience and impact. Permanent contracts may include discounted equity and, for relocation to Italy, a 50% tax cut.
* All. These. Benefits. Flexible hours, remote working, unlimited learning and training support, top-of-the-market health insurance, a rich relocation package, generous parental support, and a yearly retreat to a stunning location.
* A flexible start date and part‑time options. Apply prior to graduation, begin part‑time, and transition to full-time as your degree completes.
