Working at Pixplicity

Us Pixies are a creative bunch of geeks that love to tinker with technology. We work on a diverse variety of projects, with ample room for self-improvement, R&D, and fussball. Since we tend to adopt newest tech fast, your eagerness to learn is valued as least as much as your years of experience.

Headquartered in Utrecht, The Netherlands
No Dutch required. All the communication between the team and with the clients is in English; our team is from all over the globe.
We have some people working remotely but we also have ample space at our office. Whatever works for you! Our office is a cosy space without cubicles and it plays the music you want.
We offer daily free lunch, and access to a fussball table, SNES, a Mortal Kombat II machine, pingpong table, two classic pinball machines, an X-box, a smart chess table, and the list goes on.
We have flexible work schedules. Though we do kinda-sorta expect you to work 40 hours a week, this is not a rule. Yes, we do ask you to keep track. Not because we don’t trust you to do your part, but most of our clients are billed by the hour and we want to do that fairly. We expect you to do your best, and to be your own judge if that means working 8 hours or if you are more productive by taking more breaks. We don’t expect you to be at the office at 9 sharp either. Working from home is fine, and showing up at 10:30 is too. What we do expect is that you do your best.

Do you think you fit in our team? Drop us a line and send us your resume, GitHub profile, Dribbble or your latest hobby project!
