Why DebugInit
Most software work is building the same features again for a different logo. This is the opposite: every engagement starts by understanding an operation nobody has modelled properly, and the interesting problems are in the exceptions.
It is also a small team, which means the work is broad and the accountability is direct. If that sounds like a warning as well as an invitation, it is meant to.
Ways of working
Four things that are true here and are not true everywhere.
Start from the operation
Nobody here designs a screen before understanding the work it supports.
One team, not handovers
Analysis, design, engineering, data and adoption sit together on the same engagement.
Evidence over opinion
Decisions get a measurement attached, including the ones that turn out wrong.
Say the difficult thing early
A problem raised in discovery is a conversation. The same problem at rollout is a crisis.
Open roles
None currently listed.
When a role opens it will appear here with its scope, its team and its salary range. We would rather show an empty list than a placeholder vacancy that costs someone an afternoon.
Hiring process
Four steps. No unpaid product work, and no take-home that is really a deliverable.
- Conversation
- What you have built and what you learned from the parts that failed.
- Practical exercise
- A realistic problem, done in your own time, with no trick and no unpaid product work.
- Team session
- Meet the people you would actually work with, and ask them anything.
- Decision
- A yes or a no, with reasons, within a week.
Equal opportunity: we hire on capability and evidence of it. If any part of this process would be difficult for you for a reason we can accommodate, tell us and we will adjust it.
Candidate privacy
Applications are used to assess the role you applied for, kept only as long as that takes plus a period you can ask us to shorten, and never shared outside the hiring team without asking you first.
You can ask what we hold and have it deleted at any point, including mid-process.
No suitable role listed?
Write anyway. Tell us what you have built and what you would want to work on — we keep a short list and we read it.
