Flexible-hybrid Model: 

Achieving work-life balance has never been more important and so Redgate has adopted a flexible-hybrid model. This means that people will work flexibly with a blend of remote (home) and co-located (office) work, with teams having the flexibility to decide the cadence which best suits the outcomes they need to deliver. 

Where you work and how frequently you attend the office will depend on the nature of your role, the make-up of the team and the type of work that you need to do. A weekly visit to the office is likely for most people to support our collaborative culture, as well as other ad-hoc collaborative activities as required by the business. So, if you are able to travel to and from the office safely in a day, that works well for us.

Office locations:

• Cambridge, UK (headquarters)

• Austin, TX (AMER headquarters)

• Pasadena, CA

• Jersey City, NJ

• Berlin, Germany

• Brisbane, Australia

Redgate Software is an Equal Opportunity Employer
It doesn’t hurt to take a chance and apply! While we list out what we generally look for, we are likely missing other attributes and skills that you have that could make you a great fit. Research has shown this especially applies to women and other marginalized groups, who tend to apply if they check 100% of every box, versus men who apply if they hit roughly 60%.

Redgate Software is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and is an affirmative action employer; protected classes in every market in which we do business worldwide: race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

At Redgate we recruit on a rolling basis, which means we carry on recruiting until we find the right person for the role. We tend to compare individuals to the role specification rather than to each other.
