Mojiworks is an online & remote company, with an administrative HQ in Guildford, UK. We’re distributed across locations, and highly collaborative using Slack text & video. We pride ourselves on our strong connections & community within the company, which we invest heavily in to.

We work flexibly, but have core hours around Europe/Middle-East/Africa timezones.
