See open roles How we hire 6 open roles · Budapest & London Our values Six values. We hire against them, and we review against them. We use these as the criteria in interview scorecards and performance reviews, so they are worth reading properly. Decide whether this is how you like to work. 01 Hard work High-quality output at a high pace. We plan properly so we're not inventing emergency fixes later, and we never knowingly trade away quality to move faster. Focus means being able to say no. 02 Customer obsession Everything we build exists to benefit someone using it. If you don't understand why a piece of work matters, you ask until you do. And you use the product yourself. Everyone here makes Colossyan videos. 03 Ownership You pick up and prioritise work without being told to. Nobody here has a manager assigning them a queue. If you spot a bug, a gap or a broken process, you raise it, ideally with a proposed fix attached. 04 Honesty Feedback is direct, constructive and early. We only say things about people that we'd say to them. Good news and bad news both travel, so you keep people in the loop on your work either way. 05 Team spirit You're responsive, you help before you're asked, and you celebrate other people's wins like your own. Success here isn't zero-sum: someone else shipping well moves the whole team forward. 06 Professional excellence You keep getting better at your craft and share what you learn. You care about why you're building something as much as what the ticket says, and you take pride in telling people what you work on. How we work How the work happens The practical things candidates ask in the first call, answered here so you don't have to. Hybrid, three days in Three days a week from the office, two from home. On top of that, one fully remote week every quarter to work from anywhere. No-Meeting Wednesdays One day a week with nothing in the calendar, so there's a block of time you can plan real work around. You own your work You decide what the most important thing to work on is, and you're trusted to get going without waiting for permission.
