Careers. We hire senior.
115 people across five offices. No bench-warming, no make-work tickets. If you want to ship and own outcomes, send a real application.
§ 01 · the short version
"Senior" is a specific bar, not a vibe.
We hire senior because the work is senior. Clients pay us for compressed pattern recognition: the answer that took someone five years to learn the slow way, delivered on day one. That's hard to fake. It's also the reason the day rate is what it is.
So every open role carries the same bar. At least 4-7 years of operator experience. A portfolio of work you actually shipped, not designed for, not advised on. And an opinion about your craft that's specific enough to argue with.
We are not a training school. No apprenticeships, no intern programmes, no "associate" tracks. The smallest team you'll join is two people; the largest is six. There's nowhere to be quiet. If you want a graduate scheme, start at a bigger consultancy like ThoughtWorks or Deloitte Digital. Then come back in three or four years.

§ 02 · where the team sits
Five offices, one hiring bar.
The hiring bar is identical in every office. Two staffed HQs anchor the team, in New York and Delhi. Three smaller satellites sit in London, Sydney, and Lucknow, plus a remote tail across eight countries. Roles are office-attached for tax and timezone reasons, not because we expect bums in seats. Comp band and review process match everywhere too.

§ 03 · roles we hire
Six crafts, staffed seniors-only.
The studio is built around six crafts, and nothing else. We don't hire generalists, project managers without a craft, or "delivery leads". The lead on a project is always the senior practitioner. If your shape is in here and your portfolio backs it up, the application makes sense.

§ 04 · how it runs
Four steps, two to three weeks end-to-end.
The loop is short on purpose. We've watched too many good candidates take a faster offer somewhere else. A six-week pipeline is its own filter, and not the one we want. Every step is run by a senior practitioner, not by HR.
step 01 · 3 days
Portfolio review
A senior in your craft reads your application and shipped work. Yes / no / maybe verdict in three business days. Roughly one in eight applications gets to the next step.
step 02 · 60 min
Craft call
A 60-minute call with the lead in your craft, not HR and not a recruiter. Half is a deep walk-through of one piece of your shipped work. Half is a working conversation on a real problem.
step 03 · 1 paid day
Take-home
A real client problem, sanitised and scoped to one working day. Paid at our standard day rate, regardless of outcome. Two seniors review it. Verdict in three business days.
step 04 · 90 min
Final-round panel
Founder plus two leads. References checked in parallel. Offer or pass back inside five business days. No leverage games on comp: we open the band.
Got a message about a Digital Heroes internship and not sure it's genuine? See how to verify it's really us. We never charge candidates a fee to apply or join.
§ 05 · what we offer
Top-quartile comp, no theatre.
The package is built for senior people with families and lives, not for 22-year-olds chasing perks. No ping-pong tables. No kombucha-in-the-fridge stories. The numbers below are real bands, paid in your local currency and indexed to your office's market.
| Bucket | What it is |
|---|---|
| Compensation | Top quartile of local market, paid in INR, USD, GBP, or AUD per office. |
| Equipment | M-series MacBook Pro plus a 4K external monitor. Replaced every 3 years. |
| Time off | 28 days paid leave + public holidays + a 3-week sabbatical at year four. |
| Learning | $2K / yr personal learning budget. Books, courses, conferences, your call. |
| Health | Private health cover for you and dependants where it's the local norm. |
| Remote | True remote: no office mandate, ever. Work from home, co-working, or wherever. |
| Profit share | Annual profit share pool after year two. Tied to studio P&L, paid in cash. |

§ 07 · questions
The five we get most.
If your question isn't here, write to hr@digitalheroes.co.in. We reply within three business days.
Are you hiring right now? +
Most of the time, no. Hiring here happens in small batches: one or two roles a quarter at most, and only when an existing team member says they need a hand. There is no perma-recruiting funnel. Applications stay on file for 12 months, and we re-open the file the moment a role opens. So you don't need to refresh your CV every time a job ad goes up. Send a strong application now and it stays on the shortlist.
Do you take juniors or fresh grads? +
Almost never. The model is senior-heavy because the work is senior-heavy. Clients pay for ten years of pattern recognition, not three years plus a willingness to learn. Most hires have at least 4-7 years of operator experience. The honest path: ship some real work for a few years, then come back. A resubmission gets extra weight if you applied earlier and now have shipped work to point at.
Can I work fully remote? +
Yes. About a third of the team works fully remote across India, the EU, the UK, the US, Canada, and AU. Same Slack, same Friday note, same scope discipline as the office-based folks. There is no office mandate, and there will not be one. The two HQs and three satellites exist for people who like a desk that isn't the kitchen table.
How does the take-home work? +
After the craft call, you get a real client problem. Sanitised, but real. You have one working day to ship a response. Code, design, strategy, copy: format depends on the role. We pay for the day at our standard day rate before you start, regardless of outcome. The lead from your craft call plus one other senior review it, and the verdict comes back inside three business days.
What if I get rejected - can I reapply? +
Yes, after at least nine months. We keep notes on every application, so the next round starts where the last one ended, not from zero. The most common reason for a 'not now' is a mismatch between open roles and your craft, not your craft itself. That often flips inside a year. About one in five hires came from a second or third application.
