Careers

Build software that matters, with people who care.

Codebased is a UK software studio based in Staffordshire. We are a small, senior, remote-first team that builds bespoke software in genuine partnership with our clients. If you want real ownership, sensible hours and colleagues who have your back, you will feel at home here.

Why work here

A studio, not a software factory.

We have kept the team small and senior on purpose. That means real responsibility from day one, the time to do work properly, and the trust to get on with it.

A senior team

You will work alongside experienced developers who take the craft seriously and are always happy to share what they know.

Real ownership

We trust each other to work toward the same goal and take ownership of everything we do. Nobody here is micromanaged.

Remote-first, flexible

We have been remote-first since day one. Work from where you do your best work, and flex your hours around our core hours.

Room to grow

When one of us levels up, the whole team benefits. We support professional courses, qualifications and a clear path to promotion.

Proudly UK-based

We are based in Staffordshire and work with clients across the UK. Our team so far all live in the area and get together in person.

Genuine teamwork

However our projects are split up, we are always there for one another, from a quick sense check to working through a tricky design together.

The benefits

More than a competitive salary.

Money matters, and we pay fairly. But the day to day matters just as much, so we look after the things that make work better.

Remote working

Every member of the team works remotely, and there are no plans to change that. Work from wherever you are at your best.

Flexible hours

Flex your working hours as and when you need to around our core hours. Need more than that? We are always happy to talk.

Professional development

We back our colleagues in pursuing professional courses and qualifications, because when one of us grows, the whole team benefits.

Career development

As a small, growing business there are no bureaucratic hurdles between you and your next step. We are proud of our record on promotions and pay rises.

Leading hardware

You will start with a new MacBook Pro and the peripherals to match, and we will make sure you have everything you need to work comfortably from home.

Socials worth showing up for

Good food, escape rooms, board game cafes and the odd F1 simulator. A few times a year we go further afield and make a proper day of it.
