About us

Mind Gym uses the latest behavioural science to transform the performance of companies and the lives of people who work in them. Most of FTSE100/S&P100 are clients and over 2 million professionals in 60 countries have taken part in a live Mind Gym experience, whilst many more have connected digitally. 

We’re growing rapidly and have successfully floated on the London Stock Exchange. This is just the start. We have a bold vision to redefine how companies and individuals flourish, and so disrupt the market for behavioural change. 

We have some big plans and ambitions for 2023 (and beyond), and to deliver on these we’re going to be growing our passionate, diverse and ambitious team of engineers to help make our mission a reality… If you’re determined to make a difference, voraciously curious and brimming with entrepreneurial spirit, we’d like to hear from you. 

The engineering team at Mind Gym is only a year old. In that time we have scaled from zero to twenty engineers and we are building a greenfield platform that will transform the business. We develop with a mixture of JavaScript, Typescript, Elm and Vue. Our platform is AWS Serverless based alongside a modern DevOps stack and Snowflake data warehouse.

• Working as part of a cross functional “mission team” to design, document and implement new features.

• Getting involved with normal agile ceremonies that prepare, co-ordinate and reflect on the team’s throughput.

• Running, operating and caring for the platform that we build.

• Tracking and improving software delivery performance with the “four key metrics”; deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate and time to restore service.

• Following great engineering practices with clean code, TDD and only building what you need.

• Helping us build a generative team culture with high co-operation, shared risks, encouraged bridging and blame free post-mortems.
