If you’re not familiar with Find Others yet, that’s understandable as we’re a very young company built by a proven team of talented people in their respective fields … And you shouldn’t come and work with us.

Find Others is recruiting, and it’s probably not for you. In fact, you probably shouldn’t read any further …

Seriously, you won’t like it …

Why are you even bothering …

Ok, well, seeing as you’re still here I guess we’ll tell you about the roles we have on offer, but you probably won’t be interested anyway …

Available Roles

Back to why you shouldn’t work for us …

  • We’re annoyingly friendly
  • We’re irritatingly trusting
  • We’re working on the most exciting emerging technology, in a growth sector, which can potentially change the lives of millions of people around the world … which is sooooo boring 🙄.

What you don’t get when working for Find Others

  • Unfortunately, we can only provide you with a well-specced Mac instead of the nice nine-year-old IBM Touchpad you’d obviously prefer.
  • You get to work with modern technologies like VueJS, SCSS, Babel, Webpack, ES6, Jest, Cypress.io, Django, and Google App Engine. We know what you’re thinking; why can’t we just go back to good old tables?
  • You will be included in all aspects of planning and strategy for the product instead of living in the wonderful comfort zone of being kept in the dark and fed your workload. You actually have to help shape this product; which is ridiculous, we know.

The ideal candidate … as if it matters …

If for whatever reason, you’re still considering applying to work with us, this is what we’re looking for:

  • Passion — Urgh!
  • Autonomy — Blurgh!
  • Self-motivation — Jeez!
  • Ability to demonstrate your skills — OK, Boomer!
  • A champion of accessibility, user experience, and security — Yawn!

I cannot believe you’re still reading this.

Well, we clearly can’t get rid of you, so I guess that means you’re mad enough to be interested in working for Find Others and joining our irritatingly exciting team.

If you are that mad, then you should email us the following:

  • Your CV — Please keep it two pages max.
  • Your covering letter — Tell us a little bit about yourself and why you think you’d be a good fit for Find Others and detail your availability.
  • Any links to examples of your work.

If you’re unlucky enough to be selected for an interview …

If you are invited to come to our drab offices in the centre of Milton Keynes, we’ll sit down and try to get to know you as a person, so expect us to get all up in your business.

We’d also like to get a demonstration of your skills so we may set you a brief task before you come in.

All jokes aside

If you can read between the lines and see the humour in the above, then you’re the type of person we want to talk to. We hope you’re as excited to meet us as we are you.

Please send your CV and a covering letter to info@findothers.com
