Working at GMSL
We are a small team. We have around 30 people in our software team, so even though we are a part of a company of around 100 people overall, the software team has retained a small team “startup” feel. Your colleagues will be from a wide variety of backgrounds – we encourage diversity, openness and gender equality.
We value the long-term. The success and stability that comes from 25+ years’ experience in software development means we value the long-term in terms of software development and the development of our people.
We empower teams and individuals. Teams are empowered to own their products. Individuals are empowered to make meaningful contributions at every level.
We are agile. We develop using an agile approach, which focuses on our ability to respond to change. We broadly follow XP practices, but we take a pretty pragmatic view about this. We adapt our processes to support the context, rather than follow a standard rigid process for all situations. We trust the teams who do the work to decide how best to do it.
We strive to make GMSL a great place to work. The management team are friendly, approachable and care personally about the people on their team. Managers consider the people on their team as the first priority and take our people’s personal situations into account in decision-making wherever they can.

Working at GMSL
We are a small team. We have around 30 people in our software team, so even though we are a part of a company of around 100 people overall, the software team has retained a small team “startup” feel. Your colleagues will be from a wide variety of backgrounds – we encourage diversity, openness and gender equality.
We value the long-term. The success and stability that comes from 25+ years’ experience in software development means we value the long-term in terms of software development and the development of our people.
We empower teams and individuals. Teams are empowered to own their products. Individuals are empowered to make meaningful contributions at every level.
We are agile. We develop using an agile approach, which focuses on our ability to respond to change. We broadly follow XP practices, but we take a pretty pragmatic view about this. We adapt our processes to support the context, rather than follow a standard rigid process for all situations. We trust the teams who do the work to decide how best to do it.
