Company overview
At Bending Spoons, we’re striving to build one of the all-time great companies. We serve a huge number of customers, help team members grow to their full potential, operate at unparalleled levels of effectiveness and efficiency, create value for shareowners at an extraordinary rate, and do so while adhering to high ethical standards.

Our strategy combines an investor’s focus on capital allocation with a hands‑on operational approach.

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 the influence of biases, and take care of the details that matter.
Drive. You’re extremely ambitious in everything you do, and your initiative, effort and tenacity match the intensity of 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 expecting return, support the best idea, not your own, and are 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.

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 hire individuals of outstanding potential and place them in roles where they can thrive. Spooners in their 20s lead products worth hundreds of millions of dollars and, if you have the talent, you’ll soon play an essential role in major projects.
Competitive pay and access to equity in the company. Typical starting salaries in London are £56,345 and elsewhere in Europe €54,346; with significant experience salaries range between £68,579 and £151,436 in London and €66,065 and €145,430 elsewhere. Compensation varies by location and expected impact and grows rapidly as you gain experience. For exceptional capability, we may offer compensation beyond the usual ranges. Permanent contracts also provide discounted equity. Relocation to Italy may qualify for a 50% tax cut.
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.

Commitment & contract
Permanent or fixed‑term. Full‑time.
Location
Milan (Italy), London (UK), Madrid (Spain), Warsaw (Poland) or remote in selected countries.
The selection process
If you pass our screening, we’ll ask you to take on a few tests designed to assess how you approach unfamiliar problems. They’re challenging and may take several hours to complete. Successful candidates are then invited to a series of interviews. We set the bar high and won’t extend an offer until we’re convinced we’ve found the right candidate.
Equal Opportunity
Bending Spoons is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer. We consider all applicants and provide reasonable accommodations for an individual with disabilities—just let us know through this form.
Before you apply
If you’ve applied before but didn’t receive an offer, we recommend waiting at least one year before applying again.
Job environment
We’re a demanding environment. We hold ourselves—and one another—to a high standard. While this leads to extraordinary learning, achievement and career growth, it also requires significant commitment. To help you ramp up quickly, we recommend working from our Milan office for the first few months, regardless of your long‑term work location. We’ll support you with generous travel and accommodation assistance. Afterwards, 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.
We want to hear from you
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.
