Gecko

What We Do

Gecko is an innovative engagement platform that transforms the student experience in Higher Education. We provide students and staff with a connected and customizable experience, all under one roof—creating a seamless digital ecosystem that enhances engagement and streamlines communication.

Our technology has helped smart institutions engage with more than 10 million students from all over the world, powering connections at some of the best-known universities globally.

Our awesome SaaS products provide the smartest solutions to common challenges faced in the Higher Education sector. But to consistently deliver outstanding creativity, technical excellence, and remarkable customer service takes something truly special—it takes our people.

Working at Gecko

It takes a high-performance culture built by people who not only understand what it means to show true humility, humanity, and humour, but who also love what they do and, most importantly, who care! It's what we call being a Gecko—and we have a whole team of them!

As we grow, we're committed to ensuring that Gecko remains an awesome place to work. We want our Geckos to come to work every day excited to be challenged and create something awesome, in a place where they feel valued, where they have a voice, and where they're able to build their careers in a fun and supportive environment.

As a remote-first company, we have Geckos based throughout the UK and the US, giving our team members the flexibility to work where they're most productive and comfortable.

For those occasions where we need or want to collaborate face-to-face, modern-day commerce mixes with Edinburgh's historic backdrop in our colourful New Town office—a vibrant space that reflects our creative culture.
