What we do - our projects

We work with startups, scaleups and corporates to turn their innovative ideas into reality using the latest tech. We like to make a difference to people’s lives with the software we build, and work on projects covering a wide range of different sectors, from elite sport and medical systems to sustainable energy and fair trade travel.

While we mainly build innovative apps and websites, we also love developing virtual and augmented reality software when we get the opportunity. You can find out more about the projects we work on in the Projects section.

What we offer

Our work environment is relaxed but professional, with small teams and supportive team members. In terms of career progression, there’s always an opportunity to skill up in areas of particular interest, as well as taking on more responsibility, mentoring newer members of the team, and growing your skillset in whichever ways you choose!

We have funds available for training, development and conferences. Take a look at what some of our current team say about us at the bottom of the page.

How we work

It’s important to us to do things the right way and produce high quality code. We’re also big proponents of and contributors to the open source community. We work in small multi-skilled teams using scrum or kanban - always aiming to be as agile as we can.

We have a flat structure where everyone is valued for their own areas of expertise and interest. Our developers speak directly with our clients on a regular basis so everyone’s in the loop and feels part of one team.

We are a values-driven organisation and our values are core to how we work. If you apply for a role with us, we'll be looking to see how you demonstrate:

• Collaboration - being supportive of others and in it together
• Learning continuously
• Integrity, Accountability and Trust
• Pride in what you do
• Motivation and ability to self-start

Looking after our people

We have a wide range of social activities aiming to be as inclusive as possible. Whether at our monthly pub social (alcohol optional) or doing some crafts or cooking in the office, we do our best to make sure there’s something for everyone who wants to be involved. Check out our 'People page' to see who you could be working alongside.

We understand the importance of taking care of yourself, and we have a company wellbeing policy that we review regularly. Since the start of the global pandemic this has been even more of a priority for us and we have implemented a range of initiatives to help everyone cope with this strange time with flexible working at the core of our approach.
