Amber's flexible approach allows you to shape your schedule around core collaboration hours, which are 7am - 11am Mondays to Thursdays London time. This overlap enables meaningful collaboration with your Australian colleagues. Outside these core hours, we trust you to manage your time effectively. We focus on outcomes and impact rather than hours logged, but we do expect consistent communication and reliable delivery on commitments. Regular check-ins and transparent progress updates are part of how we maintain this balance of freedom and responsibility. We value work-life balance and sustainable pace-we don't want team members to overwork or burn out, nor do we expect you to be available 24/7. Instead, we promote clear boundaries and open dialogue about workload and capacity. Our headquarters is located in Melbourne, Australia, with a second co-working office/space in Sydney, Australia. Our European team operates from a central London hub that you will travel to during your onboarding, and approximately every 2 months thereafter for team collaboration. These in-person sessions help strengthen relationships and reinforce our collaborative culture. We also have AmberCon every year, this is a big team calendar event and we will fly you to Melbourne to be there with the rest of the team. We will always cover flights, accommodation and other travel costs as part of our travel policies. If this kind of work gets you excited, we'd love to hear from you! Even if you don't meet 100% of the requirements listed above, we still encourage you to apply. We're open to all backgrounds and encourage people from underrepresented groups to apply. We never discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, or disability status. Our hiring process will generally be as follows: * A screening call with our talent team * A take home case study * A follow up skills based interview reflecting on the case study with local engineering leadership * A cultural interview with Engineering Managers from our Australian team * A final chat with the Director of Engineering ## Related Videos - [The Avengers Initiative (Practical Ethics for Software Engineers)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2070-the-avengers-initiative-practical-ethics-for-software-engineers) - [Your next 10x engineer isn't in your city.
