The typical nPlanauts are:

• Serious, without taking themselves too seriously.
• Able to define their own work
• Proactive about improving the world around them.
• Open-minded about new technical ideas.
• Willing to change their mind on the basis of the evidence

What working at nPlan will be like:

• We are still a relatively small team so there is plenty of opportunity for a high degree of ownership over different areas of the product, and you will be directly exposed to all areas of the business.
• Your voice will always be heard. What you do or say counts, not who you are or where you're from.
• We have three core values that underlie everything we do: Learn from Everything, Be Radically Truthful, and Aim High, Run Fast. These enable us to create a collaborative, inclusive environment where we can move effectively and efficiently to implement the best solutions.
• We are a cross-disciplinary team, and come from all backgrounds and countries. We offer Visa sponsorship and contribute to relocation costs (role dependant).
• Fantastic benefits package for Health & Wellbeing, Learning & Development, family leave, weekly team meals and more.
• We are committed to addressing the diversity problem in the tech industry, and that starts with making sure we have a diverse team where everyone feels at home and can contribute as an equal.
• Having time to yourself and a private life is important. We offer a very flexible work environment and a generous holiday policy.
