Silktide helps you understand and improve your websites.

But what does that actually mean?

Let’s start by looking at how website teams function.

Option one: These folks create content for the website, and the developers maintain it all. As your company grows, so does the amount of content. You can see how the developers could become overwhelmed, because they’re dealing with all the issues of accessibility, usability and even the content itself. So let’s remove the bottleneck.

Option two: Now those content creators have direct access to the website, and you’re thinking… This was a mistake. So the website is going to have problems either way, and until the complaints start rolling in… how would you even know where to begin?

Silktide provides a single source of truth for problems ranging from spelling and grammar mistakes to accessibility issues. Whether you need a bird’s eye view of your entire web estate, or you want to dive into a site and get down to the nitty gritty of a single page’s issues, Silktide has you covered. No matter the size of your website.

Silktide’s inspector shows you exactly where your website’s problems are, whether it’s right out in the open, hidden in the code, or even on mobile, so you can get serious about accessibility.

Every issue comes with information on why it matters to your website visitors, and simple guidance on how to fix it. You can even highlight parts of the page yourself and assign tasks to your teammates. Integrate your CMS with Silktide, and you can fix these issues on the fly.

And don’t forget, we’re talking about improving your content, accessibility, marketing, user experience, and more.

We know there’s a lot to keep track of, but with Silktide, you no longer need to be an expert in everything.

Where is Silktide going?

Silktide is self-funded and doubles in size each year. Joining us now will mean you’ll be a big part of our growth and your career will have the potential to skyrocket alongside our success.

What will you be doing?

You’ll be responsible for developing our document automated quality-checking capabilities in C#. We provide document QA checking for our customers to help them create great content that is accessible and error-free.

The work you do will impact the lives of millions of people around the world who are currently unable to read these documents as the document creators didn’t understand web accessibility. You can make a real difference here.

You’ll also help us flood the market with integrations into our customers’ tech stacks to provide them with a more seamless experience.

You’ll have the opportunity to use and introduce some of the latest technology and be given loads of space for creativity, autonomy, developing your skills, and putting your stamp on Silktide.

We will be using TypeScript more and more so if this is something that you would like to learn then we will support that.

You should apply if:

You have at least 3 years experience as a Software Engineer in a similar position
You are proficient with C#
You enjoy solving complex problems
You enjoy autonomy and like to take ownership
You are efficient, proactive, and super organised
You are a team player and want to be part of a fast-growing business

You should not apply if:

You shy away from fast-paced environments
You are worried about telling your boss they are wrong
You need someone to tell you exactly what to do
You don’t like lofty goals

What we’re like

We’re early stage and moving fast, which can be exciting but means that we’re less structured than some people might like. It’s not for everyone, but if you’re smart, ambitious, and trustworthy you will do well here.

We heavily promote an open culture. Every member of our team keeps a Slack journal, to log their thoughts, work, and ideas. And you can read everyone else’s – even the CEOs.

Freedom is key to Silktide. We’ll give you the freedom to choose your work, your tech, and of course, your location.

Most of all, we are doers. We pride ourselves on getting amazing things done.

Choice of your own laptop + home office budget
23 days paid holiday (increases with each year at Silktide)
Private healthcare plan provided by Vitality Health
