Working pattern and location<\/h3>\nThe role is based in London at The Bower, 207-211 Old Street, Tower, London EC1V 9NR.

- A second technical stage, again by video or in person with engineers, lasting up to 2 hours.<\/li>\n
- A final conversation with the CTO, either by video or in person, lasting up to 60 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The company aims to finish the full process and provide feedback within four weeks.

Every applicant is considered fairly, and the company states that it does not discriminate on the basis of protected characteristics relevant to the location of the role. If a candidate needs accessibility support during interviews or after joining, the company invites them to share those needs so support can be arranged.<\/p>\n The company also notes that it may use AI tools to assist parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications or analysing responses, but final hiring decisions are made by humans.
