We've been remote-first since before it was fashionable. Here's how we make distributed work actually work - the equipment, the practices, and the culture.
You need good tools to do good work. We provide what you need to be productive from home.
Latest model, your choice of specs. It's yours for the job.
4K monitor if you want one. Or two. Whatever helps you work.
Quality headset for calls. We recommend but don't mandate.
Allowance for desk, chair, and whatever else you need.
Real-time communication is expensive. It fragments attention, creates pressure to respond immediately, and favours the loudest voices. We default to async.
Most communication happens in chat. Questions, updates, decisions - all async where possible. Your focus time is protected.
Important decisions are documented. No "you had to be there" moments. New team members can read context, not guess at it.
When we do meet, it's for things that genuinely need real-time discussion. Design reviews, complex debugging, team syncs. Never "this could have been an email."
Remote work done badly is worse than an office. Here's how we avoid the traps.
Distributed doesn't mean disconnected. Here's how we maintain team cohesion without being in the same room.
We overlap roughly 9am-3pm UK time for collaboration. Outside that, work when you're most productive.
We get together in person a few times a year. Usually in the UK. Good for the things that are hard to do remotely - brainstorming, team building, the pub.
Video calls when needed, cameras optional. We don't mandate "always on" video. Sometimes you're just listening while making coffee.
You own your work. We don't micromanage hours or monitor screens. We care about output, not presence.
Simple, proven tools. Nothing exotic. You'll pick them up quickly if you haven't used them before.
For most roles, yes. We're a UK company and keep the team in similar timezones.
We don't have a permanent office. Quarterly meetups are in-person, usually somewhere central in the UK. Travel is covered.
Your home office budget covers initial setup. We don't currently reimburse ongoing bills, but salaries account for remote work.
Project boards, async updates, and weekly written summaries. You'll never be guessing what the rest of the team is doing.
Some team members use coworking spaces occasionally. If that's your preference, we can discuss it.
Remote work is only as good as the culture around it. We've spent years figuring out what works. Come see for yourself.
