At Bending Spoons, we’re striving to build one of the all-time great companies. A company that serves a huge number of customers. A company where team members grow to their full potential. A company that functions at unparalleled levels of effectiveness and efficiency. A company that creates value for shareholders at an extraordinary rate. And a company that does so while adhering to high ethical standards.
To achieve this objective, we execute the following strategy: We acquire a digital business with untapped potential and make it as successful as we can by leveraging our platform—which comprises our expertise, technologies, data, brand, talents, and company culture. Then, we invest the proceeds into making our platform more powerful, and into acquiring new businesses. Thus, our strategy sees us combine an investor’s attention to capital allocation with the hands‑on approach of an operator.
For a talented, driven, and collaborative individual, working at Bending Spoons is an opportunity to learn, make an impact, and progress their career at an exceptionally high rate. That’s our promise to such a candidate.
Responsibilities

What we look for
Reasoning ability. Given the necessary knowledge, you can solve complex problems. You think from first principles, structure your ideas sharply, resist the influence of biases, and identify and take care of the details that matter.
Drive. You’re extremely ambitious in everything you do—and your initiative, effort, and tenacity match the intensity of your ambition. You feel deeply responsible for your work and hold yourself to a high and rising bar.
Team spirit. You give generously and without expectation of receiving in return. You support the best idea, not your own. You’re reliable, honest, and transparent, and you’re happy to get your hands dirty to help your team.
Proficiency in English. You read, write, and speak proficiently in English.
What we offer
Incredibly talented, entrepreneurial teams. You’ll work in small, result-oriented, autonomous teams alongside some of the brightest people in your field.
An exceptional opportunity for growth. We hire individuals of outstanding potential and place them in roles where they can thrive. Spooners in their 20s lead products worth hundreds of millions of dollars; if you’ve got what it takes, you’ll soon play an essential role in major projects.

The selection process
If you pass our screening, we’ll ask you to take on a few tests designed to assess how you approach unfamiliar problems. They’re challenging and may take several hours to complete. If you’re successful, we’ll invite you to a series of interviews. We set the bar high and won’t extend an offer until we’re convinced we’ve found the right candidate.
Equal opportunity and accommodations
Bending Spoons is an equal‑opportunity and affirmative‑action employer. We consider all applicants for employment and provide reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities—just let us know through this form.
Before you apply
If you’ve applied before but did not receive an offer, we recommend waiting at least one year before applying again. Bending Spoons is a demanding environment. We’re extremely ambitious and hold ourselves—and each other—to a high standard. While this leads to extraordinary learning, achievement, and career growth, it also requires significant commitment. To help you ramp up quickly, we recommend spending your first few months working from our Milan office, regardless of your long‑term location. We’ll support you with generous travel and accommodation assistance. After that, you’re welcome to work from Milan, London, or remotely from approved countries, depending on what we agree at the offer stage.
If this role speaks to you and you’re excited to give your best, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now—we can’t wait to meet you.
