Worth noting

  • We're a small-ish team so great communication skills, both written and spoken, are a must.
  • Remote working isn't without its challenges. If you haven't worked remotely previously, please be sure that it's the life for you.
  • We're predominately an Apple house - it's not that we mind if you're a PC person, but the people around you may not know what your version of buttons needed for a "hard refresh" is.
  • Our various team interests, currently, include: F1 (especially Lando and McLaren), improv theatre, books, TV thrillers especially Scandi ones, TikTok, and dogs. Actually, lots of dogs. And cooking (almost forgot about the amount of cookery stuff that goes on).
