Our Hybrid Model

We embrace a dynamic hybrid work environment that balances flexibility with collaborative in‐person experiences. Our approach is designed to foster innovation, team connection, and individual productivity.

• Levels 1-5: Minimum 2 days per week in‐office.
• Level 6 and above: Minimum 3 days per week in‐office.

We believe this structure offers the best of both worlds - the flexibility of remote work and the synergy of face‐to‐face collaboration. Our office days are carefully coordinated to maximise team interactions and learning/ mentorship opportunities.

We're looking for people that will get stuck in and make a difference. We have a great collaborative, entrepreneurial team that are passionate about what they do. If you want to join a team that is tackling a big problem space, then we'd love to hear from you.
