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, operates at unparalleled levels of effectiveness and efficiency, creates extraordinary value for shareholders, and adheres to high ethical standards.
To achieve this objective, we acquire digital businesses with untapped potential and grow them by leveraging our platform—comprising expertise, technologies, data, brand, talent, and company culture. We then invest proceeds into making the platform more powerful and acquiring new businesses, combining capital‑allocation discipline with hands‑on operational involvement.

The selection process
If you pass our screening, you’ll take on tests that assess how you approach unfamiliar problems. Successful completion leads to a series of interviews. We set the bar high and won’t extend an offer unless we’re convinced we’ve found the right candidate. This may mean the role stays open for months or is reposted.
Equal opportunity & affirmative action
Bending Spoons is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer. We consider any applicant for employment and provide reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities—just let us know through the appropriate form.
Before you apply
If you’ve applied before and didn’t receive an offer, we recommend waiting at least one year before re‑applying.
Bending Spoons is a demanding environment. We’re ambitious and hold ourselves—and one another—to a high standard, which drives extraordinary learning, achievement and career growth. It also requires significant commitment. To help you ramp up quickly, we recommend spending your first few months working from our Milan office, regardless of your long‑term location. We’ll support travel and accommodation, then you can work from Milan, London or remotely from approved countries based on the offer.
If the role resonates with 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.
