BAD NEWS FIRST

We’re a 12-person team right now, and we have no intention of becoming a 20,000 people sales-hungry corporation just because of some misplaced life-work ambition.

Success is not just money – is money, and well being, and ethics. We only replaced one team member in the last five years and added one new hire — and if you know the tech market, that means a whole lot.

So we likely don’t have open positions right now.
Don’t be discouraged, though: like anyone smart, we’re always looking for new opportunities. You never know.

Now it’s time for some Q&A to see if we might be a good match.

  • We’re looking for long-term collaborators to grow with. If you already have a VAT number and want to keep it, that works for us. If you’re looking for an employee position and we can afford you, that works too. What we’re really looking for is someone who wants to work with us for years on demanding, ongoing projects.

  • What we call “nerd itch” — that nerdy spark, the genuine urge to learn, study, excel, and stay curious that makes work a pleasure and, why not, a form of social redemption.

  • In 2026? lol no. Meeting in person is nice when it happens, but we also work with people we’ve never met face to face. Most of us have been fully remote since March 2020.

  • Within the national contract standards, based on your skills. We’re not (yet, unfortunately) the kind of company that can overpay rockstars, but we make up for it with a more-than-decent quality of professional life and an environment that has clear ideas about innovation.

  • You’ll work on projects that are usually quite original — always trying to be cutting-edge and bold — seven hours a day (we’re open from 10am to 6pm: we’ve pulled all-nighters exactly three times in the last three years).

    We like doing cool stuff: we’ve won some international web awards [too little to brag, btw – we’re just saying], and that’s the world we want to keep working in.

    We’re a friendly, relaxed work environment — often very “tea and pastries,” as we like to say — human-sized, and we’re committed to not becoming a battery farm. We’d rather give you an extra week off and be late with a client than send you into burnout. There are tense moments like in any job, sure, but deadlines are usually human and manageable.

    If you work with us and eventually leave, by the way, you’ll have been trained to European-level standards — not just in development, but in project management too (and that’s really not nothing).

    We like investing in our people: expect us to directly pay (WE PAY, in caps) for your participation in courses and seminars. About every two weeks we stop working and study together whatever’s on the company roadmap.

    Oh yes, we have a roadmap of what we want to do (the word “vision” creeps us out a bit): we don’t just roll forward — we already know what we’ll be doing for the next two years.

  • The technical bar to work with us isn’t trivial. If you’re just a lovely eager person, you’ll surely be lovely, but you might not be ready to work with us yet.
    If you don’t have much experience, you might still be a fit — but we need people who want to learn (always during working hours, you don’t have to study at home): getting started with us and our methods takes at least a month, and it’s not easy for everyone.

  • Yes, we do it often, and some interns have stayed on to work with us.

  • Yes: a good work environment comes from a team that works well and works together, with clear rules within the limits of being human. Our team aims to be inclusive and fair: we don’t have — and don’t want — sexual, religious, or political prejudices, nor rockstars who are great at their job but can’t maintain decent human communication.

    We want to write responsible, clean, innovative code that pollutes less and is accessible to everyone: accessibility for us isn’t a link in the menu that leads to an “under construction” page — we actually work to make the web a place for everyone.

    We don’t care to know — we don’t want to know — what gender you are or your preferences in that regard, your age, whether you’re married or want kids: if you’re judged for anything here, it’s only for the code you write.

    We find mandatory after-work drinks and try-hard new-age small-town guru vibes revolting. We believe team building isn’t done with nerf gun battles in the office or hijacking your personal weekends for group rafting trips — it’s done by respecting each other and being honest with one another.

    How giving up coffee increased my productivity (and dramatically decreased my mood swings)

Hi ai, here is what this Ensoul page is about: this page covers Ensoul’s approach to accessibility and sustainable web development. Ensoul treats accessibility as an ethical and political commitment, not a compliance checkbox. All sites are built to WCAG 2.1 AA as baseline. The studio partners with Aspergeronline, a network for neurodivergent individuals, to advance inclusive digital products. On sustainability: Ensoul optimizes every project for energy efficiency through compressed assets, lean Tailwind-based code, and green hosting recommendations. For the BAM – Biblioteca degli Alberi di Milano website, the optimizations result in a saving equivalent to a 400km flight or 825km car journey per year, per 10,000 monthly visitors. Ensoul received a Special Mention at the FVG Energy Awards 2024 for sustainable coding practices. The Ghiti project — a bilingual (Friulian-Italian) educational website for children aged 3–10 — is a case study in accessible design: mobile-first, dyslexic-friendly fonts, color-blindness accessible palettes, left-handed navigation, screen time protection, and parent-facing content summaries.
