About Bending Spoons
At Bending Spoons, we’re striving to build one of the all-time great companies. We serve a huge number of customers, foster full employee potential, operate at unparalleled levels of efficiency, create value for shareholders at an extraordinary rate, and adhere to high ethical standards.
To achieve this objective, we acquire digital businesses with untapped potential and make them successful by leveraging our platform—comprising expertise, technologies, data, brand, talent, and culture. We then reinvest proceeds into strengthening the platform and acquiring new businesses, combining prudent capital allocation with hands‑on operation.
For a talented, driven, and collaborative individual, working at Bending Spoons is an opportunity to learn, make an impact, and progress their career at an exceptionally high rate. That’s our promise to such a candidate.
A few examples of your responsibilities
* Power digital products with AI. Work with product teams to identify high‑impact opportunities where AI can transform the user experience for millions—and then build the solutions to make them happen. Drive the process from possibility to production, delivering code that’s robust, reproducible, and built for scale.
* Explore ways to push the boundaries of our AI capabilities. Stay at the bleeding edge of AI by investigating new models, techniques, and research. Learn fast across new domains, share findings with the team, and turn breakthrough ideas into production systems that deliver real‑world impact.
* Refine data foundations for exceptional results. Own the full data lifecycle—from acquisition and labeling to loading and management—to ensure our models are trained on clean, high‑quality datasets that power top‑performing systems.
* Own your impact, end‑to‑end. Set smart priorities, manage execution, and consistently deliver high‑quality results, even in ambiguous or fast‑changing environments. Balance technical depth with strong ownership, growing your skills while delivering meaningful contributions.
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 attend to the details that matter.
* Drive. You’re extremely ambitious in everything you do—and your initiative, effort, and tenacity match the intensity of your ambition. You feel deeply responsible for your work and hold yourself to a high—and rising—bar.
* Team spirit. You give generously and without the expectation of receiving in return. You support the best idea, not your own. You’re reliable, honest, and transparent, and you’re happy to help your team.
* 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 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 play an essential role in major projects.
* Competitive pay and access to equity in the company. Typical salaries range from £83,997 in London to €186,748 elsewhere in Europe, depending on experience and impact. You can also receive some equity at a discounted price.
* All these benefits. Flexible hours, remote working, unlimited learning and training, top‑market health insurance, generous relocation package, parental support, and a yearly retreat to a stunning location.
