Working fit

What matters when working with us

The best fit is not just about technical skill.

You do not need to know everything. You do need to be careful, clear, and reliable.

Before you start

What to have ready

The application is practical and does not need polished answers. It helps us understand your background, experience, working style, availability and judgement.

It is useful to have your working details, a summary of your relevant experience, and any portfolio, LinkedIn, GitHub or website links ready before you start.

Short answers are fine. We are trying to understand fit, not test how polished your writing is.
