Bending Spoons

<div>
 At Bending Spoons, we&rsquo;re striving to build one of the all-time great companies. A company that serves a huge number of customers. A company where team members grow to their full potential. A company that functions at unparalleled levels of effectiveness and efficiency. A company that creates value for shareowners at an extraordinary rate. And a company that does so while adhering to high ethical standards.
 
 
 In pursuit of this objective, we acquire and improve digital businesses, not to sell on, but to own and operate for the long term. The transformations we make are often deep&mdash;designed to speed up innovation, benefit customers, and strengthen business performance. Here, hierarchy is minimal and teams are small and talent-dense. We operate established products with the ambition, agility, and urgency of a startup. Across the company, we integrate AI deeply into how we work so that human judgment and machine intelligence reinforce each other.
 
 
 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&rsquo;s our promise to such a candidate.

 The selection process
 
 
 In our screening process, we prioritize verifiable signals of excellence, regardless of seniority. There are no preferential paths beyond what your application demonstrates, and we evaluate every candidate through the same process.
 
 
 Some people hold back because they feel they lack experience or have an &ldquo;imperfect&rdquo; CV. If you like the role and believe you could excel over time, don&rsquo;t self-reject.
 
 
 All applications go through our careers page, which is the only way to be considered. If you pass our screening, you&rsquo;ll be asked to complete one or more tests. They are challenging, may involve unfamiliar problems, and can take several hours. To learn more about what to expect throughout the selection process, you can find additional information here.
 
 
 We set the bar high and won&rsquo;t extend an offer until we&rsquo;re confident we&rsquo;ve found the right candidate. This is why a job may remain open for months or be reposted several times.
 
 
 We consider all applicants for employment and provide reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities&mdash;please let us know through this form.
 
 
 
 Before you apply
 
 
 If you&rsquo;ve applied before but didn't receive an offer, we recommend waiting at least one year before applying again.
 
 
 Bending Spoons is a demanding environment. We&rsquo;re extremely ambitious and we hold ourselves&mdash;and one another&mdash;to a high standard. While this tends to lead to extraordinary learning, achievement, and career growth, it also requires significant commitment.
 
 
 To help you ramp up quickly and set yourself up for success, we expect you to spend most days in our Milan office during your first few months with us, regardless of your long-term work location. It&rsquo;s the best way to rapidly absorb our company culture and build trust with your new teammates. We&rsquo;ll support you with generous travel and accommodation assistance. After that, you&rsquo;re welcome to work from one of our offices, or remotely from approved countries&mdash;depending on what we agree at the offer stage.
