About Civo
What is Civo?
Civo is "a flexible cloud platform created by developers, for developers" — a UK-based developer-focused cloud platform that pioneered the world's first K3s-powered managed Kubernetes service. The mission is reframing cloud computing with simplicity, performance, and reliability so customers can "unleash the full potential of their projects and scale with ease."
The platform spans Kubernetes clusters, AI/ML services (Civo Kubeflow as a Service, Civo Vision), and broader cloud infrastructure built on the CivoStack. The company's positioning is anchored in ethical responsibility: "reimagining cloud computing… by championing open standards and promoting positive social and environmental change."
Where will I work?
Civo offers a remote culture, ensuring team members have the freedom to work from any location — "this approach empowers employees to tailor work schedules to their lives, fostering a truly balanced and inclusive work environment." The company is registered in London but operates as a fully international remote team across departments including Sales, Technical, and AI/ML.
What is the Civo team like?
Civo's culture is "built on open communication, respect, and a shared passion for technology" — anchored by six values: Be pioneers of innovation · Achieve excellence in everything we do · Focus on our clients · Honor our commitments · Keep community at our core · Act with integrity and impact.
The team thrives on "innovation, inclusivity, and continuous growth" — JDs frame this as a "collaborative and inclusive culture that values diversity and creativity" with the opportunity to "work with a dynamic and innovative team in the fast-growing cloud industry." JDs emphasize cross-functional pairing with designers, product managers, and engineers, plus regular code reviews to foster a "collaborative environment."
Work-Life Balance
Civo runs a genuine four-day work week — "Fridays are yours! As part of the Civo team you'll enjoy a flexible four day work week." JDs reinforce: "4-day week company (unless attending an event)." This is paired with uncapped holiday — "we take work-life balance seriously and believe in a flexible work schedule."
