Remote Working & Meets - While we are a primarily remote team, we optionally meet every month at the company’s Lake District office for a mix of wider team building activities and face-to-face project catch ups. We only require attendance twice annually. We also look out for opportunities to incorporate dev meetups into conferences, such as AWS Summits.

Flexible Hours - We are output-driven. As long as you are not disrupting the downtime of others and are able to be productive you are able to work when it suits you best. There is, of course, coverage for the business but we manage this amongst ourselves.

Compressed Hours - Every member of our team has commitments - and lives - outside of work, so we offer compressed hours, agreed as a schedule with the team, to ensure that everyone can achieve a good work/life balance.

Significant Holiday Allowance - Every member of our team receives a total of 33 days of annual leave each year, including bookable holidays, bank holidays and a birthday day off.

Hardware Budget - We understand individual preferences when it comes to machinery and office setup, so reserve a budget for you to spend on your workstation and/ or remote office setup. This is yours to keep.

Quarterly & Annual Reviews - We place a high value on two-way feedback and ensure that everyone in the team has quarterly one-to-one progress reviews, which are an opportunity to set goals, measure progress and contribute ideas for the betterment of the development team. Annual reviews are in place to aggregate and review pay.
