At Bending Spoons, we’re striving to build one of the all-time great companies. A company that serves a huge number of customers, a company where team members grow to their full potential, a company that functions at unparalleled levels of effectiveness and efficiency, a company that creates value for shareowners at an extraordinary rate, and a company that does so while adhering to high ethical standards.

For a talented, driven, and collaborative individual, working at Bending Spoons is an opportunity to learn, make an impact, and progress their career at an exceptionally high rate.

Responsibilities

• Power digital products with AI. Work with product teams to identify high-impact opportunities where AI can transform the user experience for millions and then build the solutions to make them happen. Drive the process from possibility to production, delivering code that’s robust, reproducible, and built for scale.
• Explore ways to push the boundaries of our AI capabilities. Stay at the bleeding edge of AI by investigating new models, techniques, and research. Learn fast across new domains, share findings with the team, and turn breakthrough ideas into production systems that deliver real-world impact.
• Refine data foundations for exceptional results. Own the full data lifecycle—from acquisition and labeling to loading and management—to ensure our models are trained on clean, high-quality datasets that power top-performing systems.
• Own your impact, end-to-end. Set smart priorities, manage execution, and consistently deliver high-quality results, even in ambiguous or fast-changing environments. Balance technical depth with strong ownership, growing your skills while delivering meaningful contributions.

Qualifications

• Reasoning ability. You can solve complex problems, think from first principles, and structure your ideas sharply. You resist biases and take care of details that matter.
• Drive. You’re extremely ambitious in everything you do, and your initiative, effort, and tenacity match the intensity of your ambition. You feel deeply responsible for your work.
• Team spirit. You give generously and without the expectation of receiving in return. You support the best idea, not your idea, and you’re reliable, honest, and transparent.
• Proficiency in English. You read, write, and speak proficiently in English.

What we offer

• Incredibly talented, entrepreneurial teams. Small, result-oriented, autonomous teams alongside some of the brightest people in your field.

• Competitive pay and access to equity. Salary ranges vary by location and impact, and compensation grows rapidly as you gain experience. If relocated to Italy, you may enjoy a 50% tax cut.
• All. These. Benefits. Flexible hours, remote working, unlimited backing for learning and training, top-of-the-market health insurance, a rich relocation package, generous parental support, and a yearly retreat to a stunning location.

Before you apply

If you’ve applied before but didn’t receive an offer, we recommend waiting at least one year before applying again. Bending Spoons is a demanding environment. We’re extremely ambitious and we hold ourselves—and one another—to a high standard. To help you ramp up quickly and set yourself up for success, we recommend spending your first few months working from our Milan office, regardless of your long-term work location. It’s the best way to rapidly absorb our company culture and build trust with your new teammates. We’ll support you with generous travel and accommodation assistance. After that, you’re welcome to work from our offices in Milan or London, or remotely from approved countries—depending on what we agree at the offer stage.
