We can only be as good as our people.
Intellectual curiosity, knowledge-sharing, and constructive critique are the cornerstone of our culture, helping us maintain the confidence of our clients, without losing our independent perspective.
All job opportunities
Learning every day
Everyone is a potential teacher
We celebrate our team’s diverse talents and actively encourage them all to learn from each other on a daily basis.
Upskilling, brick by brick
Through fortnightly brownbags, one-on-one mentorship, hosting events, and contributions to open source, we promote knowledge sharing.

A challenging, dynamic workplace
No trivial work
We continuously push ourselves to improve by taking on challenging projects, applying emerging technologies and testing their boundaries.
Define the cutting edge
We’re at the forefront of software engineering and digital product design. We talk about them at conferences, contribute to them in open source and train others in how we do it. And all of these sought-after training programmes are available internally, for free.
Always flexible
We want everyone to grow at YLD and, wherever possible, our team members can switch internal projects to those that could potentially contribute further to their development.
Our work
Creating something we can all be proud of is vital in keeping the team engaged. That’s why we take every opportunity to show off the projects that we’re particularly proud of.
