We are a fully remote company, however, we do meet once a quarter for some serious (and some not-so-serious) time together. We prize self-development and encourage staff to continue learning, and set new challenges for themselves.

Being remote, we can't offer an unlimited free kitchen or bean bags, but we can offer flexible working with a great work-life balance, a warm and friendly working environment, fantastic company culture and free biscuits through the post,

Our Tech Stack is currently .NET, Microsoft SQL, and Azure hosting. We are in the process of transforming to an API-first backend in .NET5 with a React front end.
