We are a small family with big adventures. We have the one that tells dad jokes, the other that just keeps observing everyone, and that person who is always travelling and only shows up for the big events. But at the end of the day, we work hard to build a company that we are proud of.
We are a small team across Portugal and the UK. We work remote-first, with at least five hours of overlap with Lisbon time, time together in person when it matters, and occasional client travel.
We hire people who want to solve hard problems together. When the path is unclear, you say what you do not know yet, choose a responsible next step and ask for specific help. You keep ownership of the result. We value follow-through and learning with others more than pedigree or quick answers.
AI is part of how everyone here works, every day. We expect you to use it well, and to check its work.
More About UsAI is part of the job, so it is part of the process. Some stages ask you to use AI and show us how you work. Others are AI-free, because we also need to see your own judgment. We tell you which is which before each stage.
1. Demo (5 minutes). Upload a short recording of work you built or delivered yourself. No cover letter. Sanitised private work is welcome. You can use AI to prepare it; just tell us how.
2. Recorded questions (up to 8 minutes). If you are shortlisted, you answer four questions on video, in your own words.
3. Live screen (35 minutes). A structured conversation to go deeper into your demo and your experience. No AI during the call.
4. Practical exercise (90 to 100 minutes). A realistic, fictional case. You work with AI for the first part, then explain and change your work without it. We start reference checks at the same time.
5. In-person session (75 minutes). You interview us as if we were your client, then work through the problem with the people you would work with.
6. Final decision (20 minutes). A conversation about what we expect from each other, then our decision.
The process takes about four hours of your time, plus preparation and travel for the in-person session. We aim to reply within two working days after each stage, and to reach a decision within three to four weeks of your application. If something slows us down, we tell you why and give you a new date.
People make every hiring decision. We use AI to organise the evidence in your application and to help plan the order of our review, never to reject anyone. We never ask for unpaid client work. If a step conflicts with an accessibility need, tell us and we will agree another way for you to show the same skill.
