We acquire digital businesses with untapped potential and scale them using our platform, which combines expertise, technologies, data, brand, talent, and culture. We then reinvest the proceeds to make the platform even more powerful and acquire new businesses.

A few examples of your responsibilities

• Drive strategy. Develop and execute bold, data‑informed strategies that unlock new levels of value for the company.
• Lead an outstanding team. Lead a high‑performing team of talented professionals and make tough decisions to uphold excellence when necessary.
• Operate at the sharp end of the industry. Our products reach hundreds of millions of users; you and your team must aim for greatness.
• Master your toolkit. Work across diverse tech stacks—monoliths, microservices, gRPC, REST, Kubernetes, Docker, Python, Rust—and choose the right tools to unleash their full potential.
• Simplify relentlessly. Turn complexity into simplicity by optimizing CI/CD pipelines, writing maintainable code, and crafting minimalist architectures.

• Proficiency in English. Read, write, and speak proficiently in English.

What we offer

• An exceptional opportunity for growth. We prioritize individuals of outstanding potential, placing them in roles that enable them to thrive. Spooners in their 20s lead products worth hundreds of millions of dollars and soon take on essential roles in major projects.
• Incredibly talented, entrepreneurial teams. Work in small, result‑oriented, autonomous teams alongside the brightest people in your field.
• All the benefits. Flexible hours, remote working, unlimited backing for learning and training, top‑of‑the‑market health insurance, a rich relocation package, generous parental support, and a yearly retreat to a stunning location.
• Competitive pay and equity. Annual salary ranges between £151,436 and £250,512 in London, and €145,430 and €240,330 elsewhere in Europe. Compensation grows rapidly with experience and impact, and may exceed the typical range for exceptional candidates.
