Welcome to the Jungle

Welcome to the Jungle builds technology for one of the more consequential problems in the modern economy: helping candidates see companies as they truly are, rather than as curated employer brands present them. Founded in 2015 and now a team of 250+ experts, the firm operates a recruitment platform spanning HR tech, job search technology and employer branding, with an emphasis on putting people at the heart of recruitment. Its engineering work serves an audience of considerable scale - 22.5 million yearly unique visitors, 3 million+ candidates, 10,000+ companies, and 500,000 professionals who have found jobs through the platform.

The organisation is headquartered in Paris, with a presence in London, New York City and across Europe and beyond. Its platform connects candidates with companies authentically, showing real workplaces instead of polished corporate narratives, and competes in the recruitment, human resources, HR technology and talent acquisition verticals. For engineers and technical specialists, the opportunity lies in building products that operate at genuine market scale while advancing a specific, defensible position on how hiring should work.

Welcome to the Jungle's own working practices are unusually well defined. The company has operated a four-day workweek since 2019 and has been B Corp certified since 2020. Its "Choose Your Workplace" program allows employees to work where they are most effective. The culture is described as mission-driven and organised around authenticity and people-first values, with a team characterised as passionate experts - consistent with a stated belief that working is good, but thriving with the right people is better.
