    We believe that life should be understood backwards but lived forwards. It’s an ethos that is brought to life through unmatched data and service, helping our members make rich family discoveries through billions of historical records.

    We’re a group of passionate and talented individuals with four key values underpinning everything we do:

    Honour History

    Stay Curious

    Create Magic

    Be Human

    We’re a British-owned company based in London, Dundee, Dublin and the USA. We work in collaborative, cross-functional teams and enjoy celebrating success together in our weekly tech demos and regular social activities. In a continuous learning environment and a fast-moving market, there are real opportunities to gain new experiences and make a lasting mark on our product, business, and customers.

    Our tech stack

    Our core programming language is JavaScript (ES2020) with our website running React.js and GraphQL while our back-end platform is a collection of Node.js Microservices running under Kubernetes. Our existing platform is a mix of technologies including C#, elixir, golang, Java, Ruby and Python. Don't worry if you don't know our languages or technologies, although the more you know will help your application. We help all our new engineers get up to speed quickly through a thoughtful and supportive induction programme.
