FreeAgent is one of the most popular online accounting services, loved by tens of thousands of freelancers and small businesses across the globe. You’ll be joining a team of 24 super-friendly and talented engineers and designers, where you’ll get to hone your already impressive Ruby and web-app building skills.

We asked our team why they liked working for FreeAgent and here's what they said:

A good environment, working with awesome people who know their stuff, in a nice city, with plenty of beer, cake and burritos. What more do you need?

– Paul, Engineering

A relaxed and cheerful atmosphere, no starchiness, no requirement to wear suits and ties, no micro-management. No back-biting and no “bad apples”, all the team members are really nice people and good to work with. Everyone pulls their weight and more. I <3 FreeAgent!

– Emily, Finance

The open, collaborative atmosphere, no top-down micromanagement and being able to really make a huge difference is what makes working at FreeAgent great. Your opinion and expertise matters, you’re left to your own devices to get stuff done. The team is some of the friendliest bunch you’d ever want to meet and work with. It’s refreshing to work with people who don’t just care about what they do, but really damn well care. The icing on the cake is being able to delight thousands of people worldwide with your hard work.

– Ryan, Engineering

I’ve seen FreeAgent grow from a handful of people to what it is now and all along it’s journey it has kept the laid back and friendly atmosphere. As a developer you are given a lot of freedom, you’re not continuously pushed and everybody is very helpful. You get to work with some exciting technologies and make a huge difference to the product (and then there are hackathons for even more cutting edge playtime).

– Mihai, Engineering

Even as a remote worker I always feel part of the team. Everyone seems to genuinely love their job and are passionate about making FreeAgent the no.1 choice for running their business finances - and FreeAgent is actually making accounting cool! Who’d have thought it?!

– Matt, Business Development

Every day I still get excited about having the chance to work with, and learn from, the most exceptionally talented and friendly group of experts I could hope to share an office with.

Everyone plays at the absolute top of their game, is humble with it, and it blows me away that the eager and passionate atmosphere has remained consistent as the team has grown an order of magnitude in a handful of years.

There’s also free beer, but it’s the side order of enthusiasm that really seals the deal.

– Jonathan, Engineering

We’re a well-funded, young and innovative company who believe in making a difference in the world. We also believe in providing the best working environment we can. We offer competitive salaries, 33 days paid vacation (including public holidays), weekly catered lunches, free drinks, espresso and even a free beer fridge. We also take a break from our regular duties twice a year with our super-popular Hack Weeks.

You’ll be working on high-end Apple Macs, sitting on Aeron chairs at a Herman Miller desk. Our stylish office is located in the West End of Edinburgh, so you’re right in the thick of things in one of the world's most beautiful cities.

We can help you and your family relocate to Edinburgh, and we will consider a remote working arrangement - but only for experienced engineers.
