• You are knowledgeable about modern JavaScript and frameworks such as React;

What can you expect?

• Competitive salary;
• Tech and equipment of your choice;
• The opportunity to join an early stage tech company on an incredible trajectory;
• An equity option plan so you can benefit from our success;
• Remote working and flexibility.

What it's like working at Pento ‍

We're a technology company, not an accountancy, payroll bureau, or similar. We build beautiful payroll software that automates all manual workflows and we usually help companies cut 50-80% off the time they spend on payroll. That means no spreadsheets, no e-mails, and no manual bank transfers. We've built an easy-to-use software product, that does all of this automatically.

You can see a short video by our co-founder and CEO, Jonas, here.

Why now is a really exciting time to join

• Payroll hasn't been disrupted since… ever
• Every company runs payroll, but very few companies are happy with their current process
• Pento makes payroll up to 80% more efficient (we are probably conservative here)
• We already see strong inbound demand from companies all over the UK
• Our customers love Pento - our NPS is above 70 (check our Trustpilot by the way)
