What working at nPlan will be like

• We are still a relatively small team so there is plenty of opportunity for a high degree of ownership over different areas of the product, and you will be directly exposed to all areas of the business.
• Your voice will always be heard. What you do or say counts, not who you are or where you're from.
• We have three core values that underlie everything we do: Learn from Everything, Be Radically Truthful, and Aim High, Run Fast. These enable us to create a collaborative, inclusive environment where we can move effectively and efficiently to implement the best solutions.
• We are a cross-disciplinary team, and come from all backgrounds and countries.
• Fantastic benefits package for Health & Wellbeing, Learning & Development, family leave, and more.
• We are committed to addressing the diversity problem in the tech industry, and that starts with making sure we have a diverse team where everyone feels at home and can contribute as an equal.
• Having time to yourself and a private life is important. We offer a very flexible work environment and a generous holiday policy.
• Unfortunately, we are unable to provide visa sponsorship for this role.
  

We are working hard to create a workplace that is inclusive to everyone, no matter their background, or where they are in life. We believe that only a truly diverse place can create great products that serve a wide audience and improve the world.

We believe in equality of opportunities and that's why we make sure that these ideas are reflected in our values, and that we really apply these in all aspects of our company culture.
If you have a need for any adjustments during our interview process, let us know and we will do our best to accommodate them.
