Careers

Come and build things here.

A small software company that runs what it writes, with an on-call rota, no scripts, and nobody standing between the person who built a thing and the person using it. Every position we open is posted below.

02How we hire

Rarely, slowly, and never through an agency.

Most companies keep roles open to look busy, or run a permanent 'general application' funnel that nobody reads. Both waste your afternoon, so here is how this one actually works.

No ghost listings

We will not post a role we cannot fund and start within a month. If something appears on the board above, the money for it already exists.

Growing slower than the revenue

Headcount is the easiest thing to add and the hardest to undo. The company only hires out of money it already has, which makes hiring rare and quiet.

When it is likely to change

Realistically, when a project stops fitting in the hours we have. We are not going to put a date on that, because we would only be guessing at one.

What you can do instead

Write once, briefly, and we will keep it. No portal, no account, no six-page form — one email that a person reads and answers.

03Questions

What people ask before applying.

Write anyway, if you mean it.

One email, read by a person rather than a filter. Tell us what you would work on and one thing you have built.
