We need a spy-minded UX ?
About us
Bright Little Labs is building a kids media giant for the 21st century. We make kids’ books, games, and products that promote critical thinking, computer science and equality. Our flagship kids story is about Detective Dot – a nine-year-old coder who is on a dangerous mission from the C.I.A. (Children’s Intelligence Agency). Kids can join the CIA and carry out personalised activities on and offline.
We started on Kickstarter, reached 30 countries, got Cabinet Office backing, and have won a few awards. Next up: we’re launching in 22,000 schools, writing the first of 3 books with a not-yet-announced publisher, and we just partnered with Turner (who own Cartoon Network!!!) so we’re making cartoons and games too. Boom.
We’re growing fast and we need someone with UX magic to help us bring our brand to the masses. If you believe wholeheartedly in the power of stories and toilet humour to inspire the next generation, get in touch.
Please note: we value smart people over experience and qualifications. If you’re not sure you have the “right background”, please apply!
