Working at Isotoma

We want that for everyone we work with, clients and colleagues alike. What that success looks like is up to you, and we're here to help you get there.

We come from varied backgrounds, with different skills and specialisms, but we're united by being endlessly curious, generously non-judgemental, and committed to putting our heads together to get the best possible result.

We like hiring people with varied experience, because it gives us a richer insight into our clients' worlds.

Once you're on board, we want you to decide what your success looks like. We'll support you in getting there, but people work best when they're shaping their own destiny, as much as that's ever possible.

We know that. Our office is quiet and friendly, modern but characterful, and slap bang in the middle of the beautiful city of York.

There's plenty of breakout space for impromptu meetings, downtime, and thinking time, as well as a proper room for the bigger, longer meetings. There isn't a single desk phone in the building.

We work in a hybrid way, with most of the team, though not all, in the office anything from one day a week to full time. We'll support your preferred way of working as far as the role allows.

There's plenty going on in person too, from payday lunches to board game and cinema nights, and the occasional pub trip.

Our hours are capped at 37.5 a week, and we don't do overtime. Talk to us about flexible hours that suit your life outside work.

Join the team and you'll get generous holidays, private healthcare, and a hefty contribution to your pension.

We like watching people here get better at what they do. We'll back you into areas such as team leadership, Scrum, requirements capture, AWS certification, functional programming, machine learning, application performance, and application security. You'll use a huge range of tools too, from relational databases and queuing systems through to real-time stream processing.

The variety of the work means you'll never get bored. In the last few years we've worked on everything from karaoke to ship-broking, from video-mixing to teaching doctors.

We're proud of the careers we've helped along. People go on to great things after Isotoma: recent alumni have gone to Rockstar Games, Apple Music, BBC iPlayer, BBC News, Google, Zoopla, JP Morgan, and Raspberry Pi.

The quality of what we make matters to us, and so does the way we go about making it.

Isotoma was set up by developers, and the development process is at the heart of everything we do. A good working environment and a lack of distractions are what make concentration, and good code, possible, so we put real effort into getting that right.

We're a family-friendly employer too, with flexible hours and a health plan among other things, and we do what we can to help you get the best out of everything you do.
