About the role

Our early-careers track for engineers. You will spend your first year rotating through three teams — web, data and AI — with a named mentor and a written plan for each rotation.

You will write production code from the first month, learn how we test and review, and learn how to use coding assistants without handing them your judgement. The track is designed to take you to mid-level in about two years.

What you will do

  1. Write, test and ship production code under review
  2. Rotate through web, data and AI teams across your first year
  3. Learn our review, testing and release practices
  4. Keep a short weekly log of what you learned and what you are stuck on

A typical week

Where the hours go in an ordinary week, and which parts agents carry. Whatever an agent drafts or checks, a person decides what happens next.

  • An agent runs it, you review4 h · 10%

  1. Writing and testing code

    You write it; a coding assistant may suggest — you check every suggestion and say so in review.

  2. Pairing with your mentor

    Daily at first, then as you need it.

  3. Code review, both ways

    Your changes reviewed, and your first reviews of others’.

    You6 h

  4. Rotation learning sessions

    Web, data or AI — whichever team you are with.

    You6 h

  5. Reading CI results

    Tests and checks run on every change; you learn to read and fix what fails.

    An agent runs it, you review4 h

An illustrative split, not a timesheet. The hiring lead walks you through the real one in your first conversation.

What you bring

  • A degree in computer science or related field, or equivalent evidence of skill
  • Projects you built yourself — a repository link matters more than grades
  • Comfort with one programming language
  • Curiosity about how things work under the hood

Nice to have

  • Contributions to open source
  • An internship at a product or services company

Never a reason to rule anyone out. If you have most of the list above and none of this, apply.

Tools you will use

Grouped by what they are for. Nobody knows all of them on day one.

Languages & runtimes
  • TypeScript
  • Python
Web & frontend
  • React
Data, analytics & streaming
  • PostgreSQL
Containers, IaC & CI/CD
  • GitHub
Testing & quality
  • Jest
  • Playwright

Technologies we work with and license — not partnerships.

Your first 90 days

  1. Days 1–30

    Set up, pair daily with your mentor and merge your first small change

  2. Days 31–60

    Build a feature with its tests, reviewed by two engineers

  3. Days 61–90

    Your first rotation review, and the plan for the next team

A hand-drawn goal review on dot-grid paper: tallies for weeks one to eleven beside an assess-and-plan column, two pens resting on the page.
The plan is written down before your first day, and you review it with your lead as the weeks go by.

Where you would work

The places this role can be based. Each team agrees its own studio days; remote roles meet in a studio for a team week each quarter.

How we hire for this role

5 steps, and a reply after every one.

The same five stages we use for every role. Timings are targets; when one slips, we tell you.

  1. Within 5 working days

    Step 1: Read

    A practitioner in the practice reads your application — your links first, your CV second. No keyword filter, no agency.

  2. Week 1 · 45 min

    Step 2: Conversation

    The hiring lead: the role, your work, and the level and salary band — before you invest more time in us.

  3. Week 2 · 2–3 h, paid

    Step 3: Work sample

    A short exercise close to the job, or a deep review of work you have already done. Paid, and never unpaid spec work.

    Work sample · the brief

  4. Week 3 · half a day

    Step 4: Team day

    Meet the people you would work with, in a studio or on video. Ask them anything; they will answer honestly.

  5. Week 3–4

    Step 5: Offer

    In writing, with the level, the salary, the full benefits and a start date that suits you. No exploding deadlines.

What helps an application

  • A link to work you made, with your own part in it named.
  • One project you could talk through for half an hour.
  • If you used AI, a line on how you checked what it produced.
  • Plain words. We read for substance, not polish.

Adjustments. Extra time, questions in advance, captions, a different format — tell us on the form or by email. Asking never counts against you.
