At Thirdfort we have many opportunities to raise questions or feedback at any level. Teams take part is regular retrospectives which allows anyone suggest improvements and commitments are made to change/ measure performance. It’s very refreshing to see a business empower its people to challenge anything.

Thirdfort is always transparent about the opportunities available throughout the business. Regular development talks are a great way for teams to focus on their progression. I’ve personally grown into a new role in the first 12 months by following this plan.

Right now our product team is growing fast! There are so many opportunities with our existing features but that’s not stopping us from advancing into now markets/tech I’m able to work on super exciting technology from facial recognition to open banking!

Working at Thirdfort is truly flexible. There's no time cards or managers on your back pressuring you to work long hours, you're trusted to do the work you're paid to do and there's lots of flexibility within that. With unlimited holiday as well you can flexibly take time off work when you need it.

Thirdfort is all about communication. Everything is communicated clearly to the employees and the employees are invited to communicate clearly back in return. You can easily chat with your manager, the department head or even the founders without issue! Employees are invited to raise issues as well to be addressed.

There is a strong focus on employee wellbeing at Thirdfort. Along with the flexible working arrangement and generous benefits scheme there is a strong focus on mental wellbeing with a weekly wellness day reminding you to take care of yourself and occasional boosts to wellbeing such as free donuts!

We have a flat culture internally which really cultivates a culture of openness and transparency. It's great that everyone's opinions are heard, no one is seen as too senior to talk to. People are always encouraged to challenge the way we do things and make improvements.

Everyone at Thirdfort is passionate about having an open culture but our founders in particular are really open and honest. I've really valued their transparency around our fundraising, regularly speaking openly about what stage they're at before its been announced, even sharing their investor pitch in an all hands and hosting Q&As so people could ask questions which are typically less spoken about in other companies. No topic is off limits and it's really interesting to hear what goes on and how they approach it.

There are loads of opportunities to learn at Thirdfort. We have an unlimited L&D budget which is great and really reflects our culture of continuous learning. I'm also constantly being pushed to achieve my full potential by my manager and wider team, often a bit outside of my comfort zone which is challenging at times but means I learn a lot and it's really nice I'm trusted + given ownership of important projects. Our OKR process also ensures people have opportunities to get involved in different projects and take ownership which is very rewarding.

At Thirdfort, we always try to use the right tool for the job. There is always a lot of interesting research to bring in new and better technologies that would increase the quality of our product.

The flat structure in the tech team gives everyone equal voice, whether you are an experienced engineer or a fresh graduate. People are encouraged to come up with new ideas and challenge anyone's proposals. This always leads to interesting and informative discussions, which bring a lot of learning opportunities!

Whether you are looking to book a session with a therapist via our Mental Health partner, take part in an online yoga session, have a discount for your gym membership, Thirdfort will have you covered. And having unlimited holidays means that we don't have to stress about saving enough days to go home at Christmas.

To break a very analogue industry is a challenge within itself. Changing perceptions and legacy software that users are used to, with new and time saving tools can be difficult. Having said that, though the work we do might be challenging, the impact that the work we are doing on the legal and property markets are huge. Even down to their own clients, the software that we are developing has a huge part to play in life's big transactions and we are enabling users to move fearlessly through them.

Thirdfort is changing the way people move house and will continue to change the property industry. We’re building the first end-to-end onboarding and payment platform for big life transactions, globally. We reduce risks to lawyers and estate agents by automating identity verification, AML compliance and source of funds checks.

The company's values underpin the way we work at Thirdfort. One of those values are to operate openly, which means that transparency and clarity are at the forefront of every bit of information, from the top down.

At Thirdfort we have a core value of 'operating openly' which is actively used across all parts of the business this value means anyone irrespective of experience level or team is able to honestly ask and be able to understand any part of the business. Each week different teams discuss what they have been up to and have been working on, allowing you a real insight into the wider business. You can see in day to day work as a Software engineer that the teams within Thirdfort are always willing to engage and explore ideas raised by anyone and often these ideas will lead to new features or improvements upon existing ones.

Whilst there are many different levels of experience and backgrounds within our engineering team everyone is a 'Software Engineer' with no concepts of 'Senior' or 'Junior' this leads to a very flat structure and enables everyone to have an equal voice and opportunity whether having technical discussions or exploring improvements to the platform. This flat structure ensures that regardless of experience or background everyone opinion is equal and equally considered. This freedom of hierarchy leads to more productive conversations and a better overall end product.

Thirdfort is very accommodating supporting different ways of working and respecting that different people have different lifestyles. With a healthy balance of being able to work from home or within the office, in addition, having flexibility being able to start earlier or later.

Thirdfort offers competitive salaries that are perfectly inline or above with the industry while also remaining reflective of the individual. This means if you are highly skilled in your given field, they recognise and appreciate that and it feels very rewarding as a result.

I'm married and have 2 young sons. Many other Thirdforters have families of their own and as such, there's a mutual respect and understanding I've never before seen in my 20+ years working in the industry. Thirdfort as a company values this because they understand that work alone is no the endgame.

I've been at Thirdfort for just over a year now and in that time I've had such incredible support from my direct report all the way up to the CTO. We have a very flat structure in the truest sense of the term, which helps, but also they've shown a genuine interest in my family as well as my own well-being.
