Description
OUR PROMISE
Self-Managed
We nurture self-managed teams of talented, passionate software craftsmen who inspire each other to create the latest social software for customers we care about, and who trust us to deliver.
Personal Development
We give our people a platform to develop their individual talents into strengths in an environment that expects creativity and is obsessive about innovation. We will support you in your training, skills development and industry certifications.
Innovative
We're lucky: social software, like Social Networking and Microblogging platforms, is where some of the most exciting and engaging software is being developed today, and we help deliver solutions based on the very best innovative thinking about social software to our clients who have some of the most extreme security requirements on the planet.
Community
We play an active role in the open source ecosystem; our developers are committers on leading open source projects, and contributors to many more. We assist our clients to make informed choices about the selection of open source software, and help them to play their part and participate more fully in open source projects.
Flexible
We trust our staff to know where they do their best work. Working at your home office, or in one of our hubs in London’s TechHub @ Google Campus, our newest hub in the middle of Bristol, or in central Reading.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Laziness!
Do you believe in the art of productive laziness? Are you at your most comfortable on the command line?
