Not sure if you check every box?
We believe great engineers come from all kinds of backgrounds. We value impact, technical leadership, and a growth mindset just as much as specific tool experience.
Unfortunately, we do not offer sponsorship and you do need to be living in the UK or Ireland to apply.
Depending on the role, your interview and onboarding experience may include in-person components, such as onsite interviews or Launching into Better: LIVE—a multi-day cultural immersion in New York City for full-time, non-seasonal hires. These sessions are designed to build connection and bring our culture to life, though specific travel and participation requirements will be confirmed based on your role and location. Your recruiter will provide clear guidance at each stage of the process.
