Questions about our recruiting process?
Your mission: Foster exceptional customer experiences across our range of products. We're building a people-obsessed company. With users numbering in the millions, providing stellar customer support isn’t always an easy task. To take us to the next level, we’re looking for the right person: someone who’s ready to be on the front line, providing world-class, concierge-level customer support to our users.

A few examples of your responsibilities

  • Obsess over the satisfaction of our users by responding to requests in the most helpful and empathetic manner possible. This is normally done in writing, and typically in English.
  • Champion a user-centric approach when it comes to product.
  • Identify frequent issues and opportunities, and share feedback with the relevant teams so that we can keep improving our products.
  • Represent Bending Spoons in addressing users’ product reviews, collecting insights into which of our features are the most (and the least!) appreciated.
  • Prepare FAQs, and improve our customer care notes and document support.

What we look for

  • Passion. You genuinely connect with this role, eager to build a fulfilling career in it. You're excited about tasks that matter, and find joy in dedicating your time to them.
  • Communication skills. You can pose questions with clarity and explain your reasoning concisely.
  • Diligence. You fulfill all your responsibilities to the best of your ability, regardless of how much you like the task at hand. People you worked or studied with would say you’re exceptionally conscientious.
  • Humility. You’re down to earth, eager to listen to feedback and constructive criticism, and ready to support your team with whatever it needs to succeed.
  • Accuracy and precision. Your attention to detail is spot-on, and you’re painstakingly accurate. The quality of your output, whether in academia or at work, is consistently pristine.
  • Proficiency in English. You read, write, and speak proficiently in English.

What we offer

  • An exceptional opportunity for growth. The majority of new Spooners didn’t expect to be trusted with so many responsibilities right from the start—and to be able to leverage them to explore the full extent of their potential. You’ll immediately start working in small, results-driven teams alongside some of the brightest people in your field. You’ll see Spooners in their 20s leading businesses worth hundreds of millions. And if you’ve got what it takes, you’ll soon be playing an essential role in major projects. We also do everything we can to offer a comprehensive spectrum of learning opportunities. Nothing but your drive, passion, and talent will determine how much and how fast you can grow.
  • Competitive salary and stock options. Our compensation packages are designed to attract and retain the best talent in the industry. Compensation can grow rapidly as the individual accumulates experience and translates it into greater and greater impact. You also have the option to receive some of your pay in company ownership (equity) at a discounted rate. Also, Italy grants individuals willing to relocate a 50% tax exemption on Italian-sourced income.
  • All. These. Benefits. Flexible hours, unrestricted remote working from European timezones, unlimited backing for learning and training, top-of-the-market health insurance, a highly supportive relocation package, generous parental support, and yearly retreats to stunning locations. We encourage Spooners to use these benefits and many more to create the conditions to do their best work.

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. We’re highly ambitious and we ask a lot of ourselves and our teammates, 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.

We're proud of the company we've built, and many of us can't imagine working anywhere else. Still, we understand that a career at Bending Spoons isn't for everybody. We hope what you’ve read here helps you determine whether it might be the place for you. If you believe it is, then we encourage you to apply—and perhaps discover what you’re truly capable of!

The selection process

If you successfully pass through our screening process, we’ll invite you to take on a few tests that assess how you approach and solve unfamiliar problems. If you’re successful there, we’ll invite you to take part in some interviews. We welcome applications in English and Italian. Bending Spoons is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer. We consider for employment all applicants and we provide reasonable accommodations for candidates with disabilities, which can be requested at accommodations-ext@bendingspoons.com. Studies suggest that women tend not to apply for a job if their CV isn’t a perfect fit. Here, we look for talent and potential—not just experience and expertise. So if you like the role and think you could be awesome at it, go ahead and apply.
