    We care about hiring great people who want to make meaningful contributions.

    It's important to us that we support and help each other, pushing colleagues to work hard and improve. We value everyone's unique input and skills: developers, testers, product owners, project managers and designers all collaborate as equals on every project. That collaboration and teamwork is what helps us deliver innovative, exciting products for our clients.

    To ensure everyone gets the help and encouragement they need, we've developed a structured progression framework to support development plans and career growth for each person within Engineering.

    We are a remote-first company, so our employees can choose what works best for them. Our offices are based in central Edinburgh, Manchester and Leeds, which you can use as much or as little as you wish. We create and reinforce a culture that rewards employees' impact, not just activity. We trust our employees to work autonomously and promote ownership across all levels., Our interview process is designed as an opportunity both for our interviewers to learn about your expertise, interests and motivations and for you to gain insights into xDesign, the role and the team. So, throughout the interview process you'll meet a few people from our Engineering team as well as other colleagues from different parts of the business to help you get a well-rounded view of the role and life at xDesign.
