Our values
We live our values at Unboxed:
- openness and transparency
- learning by doing
- healthy relationships
- care and attention
- continuous improvement
We look for people who can apply these values to their work, their team and our clients.
Our culture
We’ve worked really hard to create our own unique culture of support, kindness, autonomy and reflection. We’ve written quite a lot about it, and these blog posts will give you a good idea of what it’s like working with us.
“To me, Unboxed is distinct in that it gathers and brings to the table a huge pool of great, diversified talent. That seems to be our greatest assets: our people and the way we empower them to create solutions to problems.”
Pedro Moreira, Developer, Unboxed Alumnus

“It goes to the heart of our values that Unboxeders feel happy, valued and engaged. It's not always perfect but we keep on learning and we keep on trying to do the best by our people.”
Vicky Peel, People

Innovation days
Everyone at Unboxed gets 10 innovation days each year. These are non-project days where team members can work on personal projects for professional development, spend time mentoring or teaching people in local communities about our work, or organise a hack day to explore new ideas.
Our innovation days have led to a few spin-offs, including:
- char.gy, an on-street electric vehicle lamppost charging solution
- Techqala, a part-startup accelerator, part-business innovation camp
- LoGov Platform, a Community Interest Company for public services
“Innovation days are great for exploring interests, as well as doing things that don’t necessarily fall under your job title. Last year, I taught a class of ten year olds about coding, which was incredibly fun and rewarding. My favourite question: did Kanye West invent the internet?”
Celia Collins, Developer
Sorry, we are not actively hiring for any roles at the moment.
