Senior Model Maker

London, England, United Kingdom
Who we are
 
Nothing exists to make tech feel exciting again.
 
We’re building a different kind of company, one that puts design, emotion, and human creativity at the heart of everything we do. From the way our products look to how they sound, feel, and function, we care about the details that make technology not just useful, but inspiring.
 
This is a place for the curious. The creators. The ones who ask why not and mean it. If you're drawn to bold ideas, fast moves, and work that actually makes you feel something, you’ll fit right in.
 
We're not here to follow the rules. We're here to make better ones.
