For people that want to score a job at a hot start-up company, Shoreditch is the place to be. Also known as Tech City and Silicon Roundabout, the East London area is filled with young creatives who work on the next big thing during the day and fill the trendy restaurants and hip bars at night.
So, let’s have a look at what’s hot and what’s not in 2022. Here are five Shoreditch-based companies that are on a hiring spree this year.
1. MOO
MOO is one of the most successful companies in Shoreditch. The online printing giant is what you call a start-up fairytale story. In 2015, MOO was the first to secure an investment from Barclays’ technology fund. With £3 million in cash, Richard Moross grew the company from a small printing service set-up in a box office into an industry leader with annual revenue in excess of £100 million.
MOO is hiring for positions spanning Marketing, Sales, and Technology, both in Shoreditch and remote.
2. Kambi
When it comes to online gambling and sports betting in particular, there is probably no way around Kambi. The company with an office in Shoreditch is the technology partner to several bookmakers online and offline. Kambi develops high-performance sportsbooks that integrate seamlessly into existing gambling products. It proved especially valuable to online casinos who wanted to complement their online slots and casino games with a sports betting section but lacked the technical know-how.
Kambi is currently hiring for their Shoreditch office and other locations, including Bucharest, Malta, Manila, Stockholm, and Sydney.
3. Hutch Games
If the name Hutch doesn’t ring a bell, their games surely will. The company is one of the hottest game developers for iPhone and Android and was named one of the UK’s best places to work in 2021.
With a particular focus on car racing, Hutch developed games such as Rebel Racing, F1® Clash, and Top Drives. What’s best; the company has big plans and is hiring for their London office in Shoreditch. If you have a background as a Creative Director, UI Designer, or Game Designer, Hutch might be the opportunity you’ve been looking for.
4. Wise (formerly TransferWise)
Wise is the UK’s second unicorn company (revenue over £1 billion) and one of the hottest start-ups to work for years. The Estonian-founded FinTech Wise, whose UK headquarter is based in Shoreditch, revolutionised international money transfers by offering its customers real exchange rates and adding a small, transparent fee to each transaction.
Wise is hiring worldwide, and those that want to stay in Shoreditch can choose from roles, including Product Marketing, Software Engineering, and Data Analysis.
5. Moshi by Mind Digital
If you have kids, you’ve probably heard of Moshi. The mobile app is one of the most successful applications for children scoring a near-perfect score from 75,000 reviews and over 10 million downloads in Apple’s app store. Using original audio stores paired with scientific studies, Moshi helps children fall asleep faster, for longer, and unlock their superpowers through emotional wellbeing.
Moshi is a trademark of Mind Candy, a Shoreditch-based company currently hiring for an IT support engineer.
