Careers

Do the work properly. We’ll make time for it.

We hire engineers who would rather write down a trade-off than argue about it later. You will work on multi-month engagements for enterprise clients and funded startups, across conventional systems and distributed ledgers, with the time and support to do the work properly.

Why Milesbreed

Built for engineers who care how things are built.

No heroics, no death marches. Plans include the time to test, document and hand over properly.

  • Learning budget

    An annual budget and time for courses, certifications and conferences relevant to your practice.

  • Sustainable pace

    Our estimates include time for testing and documentation, so plans do not depend on overtime.

  • Clear progression

    Documented career paths for engineering, architecture and delivery, reviewed twice a year with your lead.

  • Health and well-being

    Health coverage and well-being support appropriate to your country of employment.

  • Time off that gets used

    Generous paid leave, with handovers planned so that time away is actually time away.

How we hire

Four steps, about three weeks.

Structured, respectful of your time, and focused on the work you would actually do here.

  1. 01

    Introductory call

    A 30-minute conversation with someone from the practice you would join, covering your experience, the role and how we work. Ask us anything.

  2. 02

    Technical conversation

    A structured discussion with two senior engineers about systems you have built, decisions you made and what you would change. No trick questions.

  3. 03

    Practical exercise

    A take-home task or a paired design session, whichever you prefer, based on the work you would do here. We keep it under four hours.

  4. 04

    Leadership conversation and offer

    A conversation with the head of your practice about the engagements ahead, followed by a written offer. We aim to finish within three weeks.

Life at Milesbreed

What a normal week looks like.

  • Two-week iterations

    Each ends in a demo you can be proud of and a short written report.

  • Decisions in writing

    ADRs and a shared decision log instead of meetings about meetings.

  • Core hours, then deep work

    Agreed overlap with the client, then uninterrupted time to build.

  • Tests and docs in the estimate

    Quality work is planned work, not something squeezed in at the end.
