We are a small team, with an aim for large impact, we move
fast, we’re always looking for new ideas and we’re very transparent
about the decisions we make and why we make them.
We believe a
great workplace is one that represents the world we live in and how
beautifully diverse it can be. That means we have no judgement when it
comes to any one of the things that make you who you are - your gender,
race, sexuality, religion or a secret aversion to coriander.
All you need is a passion for our product and a desire to be part
of one of our team. We are looking forward to hearing from you!
