At Bending Spoons, we're striving to build one of the all-time great companies—a company that serves a huge number of customers, where team members grow to their full potential, and that creates value for shareholders at an extraordinary rate while adhering to high ethical standards. In pursuit of this objective, we acquire and improve digital businesses to own and operate them for the long term. Our transformations are deep, designed to speed up innovation, benefit customers, and strengthen business performance. Here, hierarchy is minimal, teams are small and talent-dense, and AI is deeply integrated into how we work so that human judgment and machine intelligence reinforce each other.
Responsibilities
Build AI‐powered product experiences. Work with product teams to identify high‐impact opportunities where AI can transform the user experience for millions and build these solutions. Drive the process from possibility to production, delivering code that's robust, reproducible, and built for scale.
Amplify your impact with AI. Integrate powerful AI tools directly into your development workflow—design, implementation, testing, and documentation—to move faster while maintaining high standards for correctness, reliability, and maintainability.
Master your toolkit. Work across diverse stacks with end‐to‐end ownership, choosing the right technologies for each challenge. From monoliths to microservices, gRPC to REST, Kubernetes to Docker, Python to Rust—you'll apply technologies thoughtfully, focusing on depth and purpose rather than trends.
Build software that matters. Take real ownership from idea to production, creating systems used by millions and evolving them into products at scale.
Simplify relentlessly. Question every layer of complexity; improve architectures, pipelines, and codebases to build systems that are simpler, more scalable, and easier to maintain.
What we look for
Reasoning ability. Solving complex problems with first‐principles thinking, shunning biases and carefully attending to critical details.
Drive. Extreme ambition, initiative, effort, and tenacity; a deep sense of responsibility for your work and a relentless pursuit of improvement.
Team spirit. Generosity, humility, openness to the best idea, reliability, honesty, and transparency; willingness to roll up your sleeves to help the team.
Proficiency in English. Read, write, and speak proficiently in English.
