Be among the first 25 applicants. At Bending Spoons, we’re striving to build one of the all‑time great companies. We serve a huge number of customers and enable team members to grow to their full potential while functioning at unparalleled levels of effectiveness and efficiency. We create value for shareholders at an extraordinary rate while adhering to high ethical standards.

Responsibilities

• Take full ownership of the recruiting process from start to finish, making key decisions at each stage to ensure the selection of the best candidates.
• Drive the sourcing of top‑tier talent by utilizing a diverse range of channels.
• Act as the main point of contact for candidates throughout the entire hiring process, ensuring a positive experience from initial outreach to final offer.
• Design and lead the implementation of structured assessments, including tests and interviews.
• Conduct comprehensive assessments of new hires to ensure they meet the company’s standards.

What we look for

• 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 and hold yourself to a high – and rising – bar.
• Reasoning ability. Given the necessary knowledge, you can solve complex problems. You think from first principles, structure your ideas sharply, resist the influence of biases, and identify and take care of the details that matter.
• Team spirit. You give generously and without the expectation of receiving in return. You support the best idea, not your idea, and you’re always happy to get your hands dirty to help your team. You’re reliable, honest, and transparent.
• Proficiency in English. You read, write, and speak proficiently in English.

What we offer

• An exceptional opportunity for growth. Spooners in their 20s lead products worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and if you’ve got what it takes, you’ll soon play an essential role in major projects.
• Incredibly talented, entrepreneurial teams. You’ll work in small, result‑oriented, autonomous teams alongside some of the brightest people in your field.
• 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.
• Competitive pay and access to equity in the company. Generally £54,545 in London and €52,246 elsewhere in Europe at entry; for experienced candidates, £66,779–£149,636 in London and €63,965–€143,330 elsewhere. Compensation varies by location and impact, and grows rapidly as you gain experience. You can receive equity at a discounted price.

Commitment & contract

• Permanent or fixed‑term. Full‑time.
• Location: Milan (Italy), London (UK), Madrid (Spain), Warsaw (Poland). You’ll start the first few months in Milan to quickly absorb culture and build trust, then work from Milan, London, or remotely from approved countries.

Selection process

After screening, you’ll take a few tests designed to assess your problem‑solving approach. Successful candidates will then participate in a series of interviews. We set the bar high and only extend offers when we’re convinced we’ve found the right candidate. The role may stay open for months or be reposted several times.
