We operate at unparalleled levels of effectiveness and efficiency, creating value for shareholders at an extraordinary rate while adhering to high ethical standards.

What we look for

Reasoning ability. Given the necessary knowledge, you can solve complex problems. You think from first principles, structure your ideas sharply, resist bias, and attend to critical details.
Drive. You’re extremely ambitious; initiative, effort, and tenacity match that ambition. You feel deeply responsible for your work and hold yourself to a high—and rising—bar.
Team spirit. You give generously and without expectation of return, support the best idea, and are reliable, honest, and transparent.
Proficiency in English. You read, write, and speak proficiently in English.

What we offer

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 prioritize individuals of outstanding potential and place them in positions to thrive. Spooners in their 20s lead products worth hundreds of millions of dollars and can soon play essential roles in major projects.

For candidates assessed as possessing considerable relevant experience, the salary on offer tends to be between £110,389 and £194,964 in London, and €105,737–€186,748 elsewhere in Europe. Compensation varies by location and expected impact, growing rapidly as you gain experience. You can also receive part of your pay in equity at a discounted price to participate in the company’s value creation. If relocating to Italy, you may enjoy a 50% tax cut.
All… 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.
