    C3UK deploys industrial-grade public access WiFi services, coupled with content and media monetisation solutions. Working closely with the UK’s Rail and Air transport networks, C3UK specialises in delivering “WiFi that works” for passengers both on-vehicle and at-station. Every WiFi installation includes our industry leading Media Engines to deliver the highest quality entertainment, news and travel updates available from content partners such as Warner Bros Studios, Warner Music Group, Hearst, Press Association and other major news outlets.

    The C3UK distributed network of WiFi POP's and our Cloud Platform allow train operating companies and station operators such as Network Rail to provide seamless connectivity, personalised customer messaging, centralised authentication, CRM integration and data capture.

    Culture

    Company founders Marcus Vinton and Al Scott have decades of media industry experience interlaced with technical delivery having developed and deployed solutions at WPP, Ogilvy, Sky and the London Olympic. (If you want a cool story, ask Al about his work on Tetris).

    The C3UK office defiantly has the sense of old school Soho media cool but with the unusual coupling of engineering discipline, with 50% of people in the business working in technical roles. We enjoy a flat structure, collaborative approach and energetic social environment for those that want to join in. The focus is always on results, we're relatively process light and encourage critical and creative thinking, so long as it's respectful and constructive.

    How We Interview

    Technical interviews are conducted in 2 stages. A technical screening by phone/Skype and brief chat about how your experience suits the role. The subsequent stage is an interview invite to our office in Soho to complete a short technical test followed by in depth interview with our CTO. We also like to introduce our founders so both you and ourselves can get a feel for how you might fit the office culture.
