About the Company
At Bending Spoons, we’re striving to build one of the all‑time great companies. A company that serves a huge number of customers, where team members grow to their full potential, operates at unparalleled levels of effectiveness and efficiency, and creates value for shareholders at an extraordinary rate—all while adhering to high ethical standards. To achieve this objective, we acquire a digital business with untapped potential, make it as successful as possible by leveraging our platform—comprising expertise, technologies, data, brand, talent, and culture—and then reinvest the proceeds to make our platform more powerful and to acquire new businesses. This combination of investor‑level capital allocation and hands‑on operational involvement defines our strategy.

Selection Process
If you pass our screening, we’ll ask you to complete a series of tests designed to assess how you approach unfamiliar problems. They’re challenging and may take several hours. Successful completion leads to a series of interviews. We set the bar high and won’t extend an offer until we’re convinced we’ve found the right candidate, which is why a job may stay open for months or be reposted.
Equal Opportunity & EEO Statement
Bending Spoons is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer. We consider any applicant for employment and provide reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities—just let us know through this form.
Application Tips
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 hold ourselves—and one another—to a high standard. While this leads to extraordinary learning, achievements, and career growth, it also requires significant commitment.
To help you ramp up quickly, 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 new teammates. We’ll support you with generous travel and accommodation assistance. After that, you’re welcome to work from Milan, London, or remotely from approved countries, depending on the agreement at the offer stage.
