We're working to solve emotional pain in the workplace. We’ve developed a Slack/MS Teams integration that allows our clients’ employees to access therapy in a few clicks. It is easy to access and designed to be used by everyone - user-centered design is very important to us. We’re trusted by the likes of Typeform, Depop, and HelloFresh as well as many other progressive employers you can see listed on our site, and we're funded by Passion Capital, Ada Ventures, and Seedcamp.
At Spill, we believe that engineers build better products when deeply intertwined with product. You should care deeply about our users problems and want to be involved in the process of solving them. As an engineer at Spill, you will be talking to our users on calls most weeks along with our product team. You'll work with the product team to create the spec, before owning the feature development from start to finish.
You will work closely with the other engineers on solving difficult problems such as how to scale services as our user base grows, improve performance and reliability or build new exciting prototypes. You will be expected to maintain high-quality standards by mentoring others on the team through pairing and code reviews.

Don’t worry! We care about outcomes rather than tickbox criteria, and it’s often the case that the perfect person for the role has a CV that looks a little different.
Research (by Harvard University 🤓) shows that women are particularly likely to second-guess themselves and not apply — so if you’re worried you don’t meet all the criteria, get in touch anyhow and let us do the worrying.
At Spill, we are committed to building a company that includes people from a variety of different backgrounds. We're particularly interested in hearing from people from typically underrepresented groups in the tech industry💛
