Become a part of our team

At In The Pocket, you join a multidisciplinary team of designers, engineers, strategists and data specialists who care about the work as much as the people they work with. We work in small, autonomous teams that stay close to our clients and their users, and we give everyone the space to take ownership, speak up and grow. You’ll learn from colleagues across our studios, ship products that reach thousands or even millions of people and help shape what digital can do for leading organisations in Europe.

What you’ll do

Do you think of life as an infinite set of microservices? Do you envision a serverless future? Where scale and performance are only limited by our imagination? Then we suspect you might want to read on.
