Join to apply for the Graduate software engineer role at Bending Spoons

At Bending Spoons, we build a high‑impact, customer‑focused company that values growth, ethics, and technical excellence. We acquire digital businesses, invest in them, and expand through acquisition and an operator‑style approach.

A few examples of your responsibilities

• Master your toolkit. Work across diverse tech stacks to choose the right tools – from monolithic to microservices, gRPC to REST, Kubernetes to Docker, Python to Rust. Your expertise focuses on purpose, not trendiness.

• Simplify relentlessly. Reduce complexity. Optimize pipelines, maintain clean code, and design minimalist architectures that power scalable, future‑proof solutions.

What we look for

• Reasoning ability. Solve complex problems by first‑principles, structure ideas sharply, and avoid biases.
• Drive. Demonstrate ambition, initiative, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
• Team spirit. Contribute generously, support teammates’ ideas, and act with honesty and transparency.
• Proficiency in English. Read, write, and speak English fluently.

• Exceptional growth opportunity – leading products worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
• Competitive pay and equity options. Example ranges: UK £85,797–£250,512; Europe €66,065–€188,848, varying by location and impact.
