Great Place to Work

Softwire was founded on a simple idea: to create the best possible environment for building software. You will work with some of the industry’s smartest people in a relaxed and informal atmosphere, refreshingly free of bureaucracy. Working conditions are flexible and there’s no pressure to put in long hours.

For the past eight years we have featured in the top 25 of The Sunday Times Best Small Companies to Work For list, always as one of the top few software companies.

Great Future

Join a highly successful company that is growing year on year. You will grow with us, learning a diverse set of technologies and pursuing the type of work which interests you most. We believe in letting you get on with your job so you will enjoy responsibility and autonomy from the start. We fill senior roles almost exclusively from within so there are many opportunities for advancement. Our MD, Zoe, started out as a developer and has held pretty much every role in the company on the way to her current position.

Great Benefits

Simply put, we believe that everyone should reap the benefits of our joint efforts. Our salaries are competitive and, on top of that, half our profits are distributed to our staff as bonus. There are many opportunities to engage in pro bono and charitable work too.
