Compensation can grow rapidly as the individual accumulates experience and translates it into greater and greater impact.

Before you apply
Thanks for taking the time to read this far. We’d be delighted if you decide to apply, but ask that you first consider the following:
Bending Spoons is an extremely demanding environment. Highly ambitious and ask a lot, so you’re likely to work harder here than at most companies, and to regularly push yourself beyond your comfort zone. While this tends to drive tremendous learning and lead to fantastic achievements, it can also be stressful.
We’re uncompromising on our standard of excellence. The vast majority of Spooners stay for years and have amazing careers here. However, it can also happen that an individual doesn’t contribute at the rate we look for. In such cases, we support the Spooner in their efforts to make the necessary improvements, but will counsel them to leave if they don’t manage to do so.
The selection process
If you successfully pass through our screening process, you'll be invited to take on a few tests that assess how you approach and solve unfamiliar problems. If you’re successful there, you'll be invited to take part in some interviews. They welcome applications in English and Italian.
Bending Spoons is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer. They consider employment all applicants and we provide reasonable accommodations for candidates with disabilities.
