Careers

No job board, because there are no listings today.

A careers page with nothing on it wastes the reader's time and flatters the company. This is the open application instead. It goes to the two partners, it is read, and it is answered.

If a listing does appear it will be here, and it will name the salary band.

What we would read twice

The kinds of people this group is short of.

01

Engineers who finish things

Most of what is on this estate is built rather than bought, and the gap between a demo and a thing people rely on is where the work is.

  • Web, Python, Postgres
  • Comfortable owning something end to end
02

Designers who can write

Every page in this group is text first. A designer who can cut a paragraph is worth more here than one who can only style it.

  • Editorial and interface together
  • Accessibility treated as part of the craft
03

Operators for the nonprofit work

The charitable arm places students and volunteers, and the constraint is people who can run a programme, not people willing to help.

  • Volunteer, not salaried
  • Named on the initiative's own page

Being straight with you

What this is and is not.

This is a small partnership, not a funded startup. Paid roles appear when a venture can carry them, which is why there is no listing today rather than a listing that never closes.

The nonprofit roles are genuinely unpaid, and the group says so on its own site: no paid staff and no paid executives. They are real work and they are credited, but nobody should apply expecting otherwise.

Open application

Tell us what you do.

Six questions.

A repository, a portfolio, a piece you wrote. One good link beats a full history.

You will get a confirmation by email within the hour, and a written answer from one of the two partners within five working days, including when the answer is no. What happens to what you type is set out in the privacy notice.
