Role details
Job description
Spawn /spɔːn/, verb. the act of creating something from nothing.
Not sure where you fit? That might be exactly why we need you.
We’re looking for people who want to build the future – and not just within the lines of a traditional job description.
Maybe you're a technologist who’s also a designer. A founder who still loves to code. A creative who sees systems, or an engineer who speaks brand. Maybe you’ve built games, startups, open-source tools, or just obsessive side projects that never let you sleep.
Whatever shape your background takes, if you’re at the top of your craft and this mission sparks something in you, we want to hear from you.
We believe in autonomy, ownership, and creative environments that unlock deep work. We’ve built from the Alps, Mykonos, and LA—with product sprints that feel more like creative residencies. We care more about taste and trajectory than perfect titles or pedigrees.
If you don’t see your perfect role listed but know you have something exceptional to contribute, reach out. Tell us what you’ve built, what you care about, and what you'd love to do here. We design roles around people, not the other way around.
