The organization aims to build an exceptionally effective, high-performing company that creates strong value for customers, team members, and shareholders while maintaining high ethical standards. Work is carried out in small, highly capable teams with minimal hierarchy, and the company combines the pace and ownership style of a startup with the scale of established products. AI is deeply embedded in day-to-day work so that human judgment and machine intelligence complement one another.<\/p>\n<p>The position can be based in Milan, London, Madrid, or Warsaw, and it may also be fully remote from eligible countries. The contract may be permanent or fixed-term. The company emphasizes that it is looking for a talented, motivated, and collaborative person who wants to learn quickly, make a meaningful impact, and progress rapidly in their career.<\/p>\n<h3>What you will do<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Build a deep understanding of the product, its business model, and the forces behind its growth, using AI, data analysis, and user research to uncover valuable opportunities and test assumptions.<\/li>\n<li>Develop new product ideas and features by bringing together user feedback, market signals, and emerging technologies, then use creative and analytical thinking to explore possible solutions quickly.<\/li>\n<li>Turn ideas into real product improvements by setting priorities carefully, concentrating on the work that will have the greatest effect, and driving execution from start to finish.<\/li>\n<li>Work closely with designers, engineers, and other colleagues to coordinate delivery and ensure the product solves the users\u00e2\u0080\u0099 most important problems.<\/li>\n<li>Use experiments and product metrics to measure impact, learn what is working, and identify what needs to change.<\/li>\n<li>Continuously improve the product by treating each initiative as a learning process and applying insights from previous work to future decisions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What the company is looking for<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Strong reasoning ability, including the capacity to solve complex problems once the relevant knowledge is available.<\/li>\n<li>A first-principles approach to thinking, with clear structure in your ideas and resistance to bias.<\/li>\n<li>Good judgment about details, with the ability to focus on the elements that truly matter.<\/li>\n<li>Exceptional drive, ambition, initiative, persistence, and personal accountability.<\/li>\n<li>A strong sense of responsibility for your work and a consistently high standard that you keep raising.<\/li>\n<li>A team-oriented mindset, including generosity, humility, and a willingness to support the strongest idea rather than your own.<\/li>\n<li>Reliability, honesty, and openness in how you work with others.<\/li>\n<li>Willingness to get involved in practical tasks and help the team wherever needed.<\/li>\n<li>Professional fluency in English, including reading, writing, and speaking.<\/li>\n<li>Comfort with a rigorous hiring process that may include challenging tests and several hours of work.<\/li>\n<li>Willingness to apply through the careers page, since that is the only application route considered.<\/li>\n<li>Acceptance that the role is demanding and requires a significant level of commitment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What you can expect in return<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Small, entrepreneurial, results-driven teams with a high concentration of talent.<\/li>\n<li>Strong opportunities for growth, including the chance to take on important responsibilities early in your career if you perform well.<\/li>\n<li>Flexible working hours and remote working options.<\/li>\n<li>Unlimited support for learning and training.<\/li>\n<li>High-quality health insurance.<\/li>\n<li>A generous relocation package.<\/li>\n<li>Parental support.<\/li>\n<li>An annual retreat in a beautiful location.<\/li>\n<li>Competitive pay and discounted access to company equity for permanent hires.<\/li>\n<li>Support for reasonable accommodations for applicants with disabilities.<\/li>\n<li>Travel and accommodation help during the first few months while you spend most days in the Milan office to get up to speed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Pay and progression<\/h3>\n<p>The company says that typical annual salary offers are about \u00c2\u00a385,797 to \u00c2\u00a3151,436 in London and about \u00e2\u0082\u00ac66,065 to \u00e2\u0082\u00ac107,837 in other parts of Europe. For candidates with little or no relevant experience, offers are expected toward the lower end of those ranges. Exceptionally experienced candidates may be offered up to \u00c2\u00a3316,052 in London or \u00e2\u0082\u00ac240,330 elsewhere in Europe. If the contract is permanent, part of the package may be taken as discounted company equity.<\/p>\n<h3>How the hiring process works<\/h3>\n<p>The company says it screens candidates based on evidence of excellence rather than seniority, and that there is no special route other than what is shown in the application. If a candidate passes the initial screening, they may be asked to complete one or more tests. These assessments can be difficult, may involve unfamiliar problems, and can take several hours. The company notes that it may keep a role open for a long time or repost it if it has not yet found the right person. It also states that it considers all applicants for employment and provides reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities.<\/p>\n<h3>Before you apply<\/h3>\n<p>If you have applied before and were not successful, the company recommends waiting at least a year before trying again. It also explains that the environment is demanding and expects a high level of commitment. To help new hires settle in and learn the culture quickly, the company expects them to spend most days in the Milan office during the first few months, regardless of where they will work long term. After that initial period, the working arrangement can be based in one of the offices or remote from approved countries, depending on what is agreed at the offer stage. The company says it will provide generous travel and accommodation support during this onboarding period.<\/p>\n<p>If the role sounds like a fit and you are ready to give your best, the company invites you to apply through its careers page.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><strong>Degree Requirement:<\/strong> Not Specified<\/p>\n<p><strong>Visa Sponsorship Promising<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_promoted":"","_job_location":"London","_application":"https:\/\/jobs.bendingspoons.com\/positions\/6a7c11c253e80da9f6c76ffc","_company_name":"Bending Spoons","_company_website":"","_company_tagline":"","_company_twitter":"","_company_video":"","_filled":0,"_featured":0,"_remote_position":0,"_job_salary":"\u00a385797 - \u00a3151436 per yearly","_job_salary_currency":"GBP","_job_salary_unit":"yearly"},"job-types":[38],"class_list":["post-3605","job_listing","type-job_listing","status-publish","job-type-experienced"],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/coderseditor.com\/itjobs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job-listings\/3605","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/coderseditor.com\/itjobs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job-listings"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/coderseditor.com\/itjobs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/job_listing"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coderseditor.com\/itjobs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/coderseditor.com\/itjobs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3605"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"job_listing_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coderseditor.com\/itjobs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/job-types?post=3605"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
