You give generously and without the expectation of receiving in return. You support the best idea, not your idea. You're always happy to get your hands dirty to help your team. You’re reliable, honest, and transparent. Proficiency in English.
You read, write, and speak proficiently in English. Benefits
Incredibly talented, entrepreneurial teams.
You’ll work in small, result‑oriented, autonomous teams alongside some of the brightest people in your field. An exceptional opportunity for growth.
We go to great lengths to hire individuals of outstanding potential—then, our priority is to put them in the ideal position to thrive. Spooners in their 20s lead products worth hundreds of millions of dollars. And if you’ve got what it takes, you’ll soon be playing an essential role in major projects, too. All. These. 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. We help each Spooner set up the conditions to do their best work. Competitive pay and access to equity in the company.
For a candidate that we assess as possessing considerable relevant experience, the annual salary on offer tends to be between $257,642 and $411,014 in the US. Compensation varies by location and expected impact, and grows rapidly as you gain experience and translate it into greater contributions. Commitment & contract
Permanent or fixed‑term. Full‑time. Location
Milan (Italy), London (UK), Warsaw (Poland), Madrid (Spain) or remote in selected countries. Before you apply
If you’ve applied before but didn’t receive an offer, we recommend waiting at least one year before applying again. Bending Spoons is a demanding environment. We’re extremely ambitious and we hold ourselves—and one another—to a high standard. While this tends to lead to extraordinary learning, achievement, and career growth, it also requires significant commitment. To help you ramp up quickly and set yourself up for success, we recommend spending your first few months working from our Milan office, regardless of your long‑term work location. It’s the best way to rapidly absorb our company culture and build trust with your new teammates. We’ll support you with generous travel and accommodation assistance. After that, you’re welcome to work from our offices in Milan or London, or remotely from approved countries—depending on what we agree at the offer stage. If the role speaks to you and you’re excited to give your best, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now—we can’t wait to meet you.
