This position is in London, but you're not?

It will be important that you are close to the Space Ape development team, so that means working core UK hours for most of the time. If you can do that then the role can be done remotely initially but once we return to a more traditional office environment - hopefully some time in early 2021 - then you would be expected to relocate to be close to the team. However, as 2020 has taught us a lot can happen between now and then so we’re open to discuss flexible working arrangements.

No matter where you would be moving from, our dedicated people will help you from beginning to end.
