👩‍💻 How You Work

• You will be working predominantly remotely within a high-trust environment where transparency and accountability are foundational to our engineering culture. Amber's flexible approach allows you to shape your schedule around core collaboration hours, which are 7am - 10am Monday to Wednesday (occasional Thursday) London time. This overlap enables meaningful collaboration with your Australian colleagues.
• Outside these core hours, we trust you to manage your time effectively. We focus on outcomes and impact rather than hours logged, but we do expect consistent communication and reliable delivery on commitments. Regular check-ins and transparent progress updates are part of how we maintain this balance of freedom and responsibility.
• We value work-life balance and sustainable pace - we don't want team members to overwork or burn out, nor do we expect you to be available 24/7. Instead, we promote clear boundaries and open dialogue about workload and capacity.
• Our headquarters is located in Melbourne, Australia, with a second co-working office in Sydney, Australia. We're establishing a UK co-working hub that you'll visit during your first 2 weeks of onboarding and approximately every 2 months thereafter for team collaboration. These in-person sessions help strengthen relationships and reinforce our collaborative culture.
• You will be flown out to Australia post your probationary period for 2 weeks to meet with the team face-to-face & to collaborate locally with the Australian engineering team (this would be your final part of on-boarding). We also have AmberCon every year, this is a big team calendar event and we will fly you to Melbourne to be there with the rest of the team.
• We will always cover flights, accommodation and other travel costs as part of our travel policies.
