Who are we
xDesign partners with the UK’s most ambitious brands to accelerate their digital product and engineering delivery, with offices in the centres of Edinburgh and Leeds and employees based all over the UK. We pride ourselves on working closely and collaboratively with our clients to craft intuitive user experiences and valuable products across a wide range of industries, technologies, and clients.
Our reputation as a partner determined to deliver high-quality, robust and thoughtful products has enabled us to scale to over 250 people in the last couple of years. We have doubled the business over the last six months and we are preparing for further accelerated growth in 2022 by delivering high quality software products for some of the UK’s most established brands.
One of the things that makes xDesign unique is our amazing people and the great culture that we have built. That winning combination earned xDesign a place on the UK’s Best Workplaces™ 2022 by Great Place to Work UK. Alongside this we earned a place on the UK’s Best Workplaces™ for Wellbeing 2022 and the UK’s Best Workplaces™ in Tech 2021.
Our Team
We care about hiring great people so you'll be working with a team that cares. We support each other with problems, push each other to get better and celebrate success together.
Developers, testers, product owners and designers all collaborate as equals on projects to make the best product possible. Every day's progress is a communal effort and you'll be a valued member of the team.
We have a structured progression framework to support development plans and career growth for each person within engineering. You’ll get close support from your line manager with your day to day work as well as looking at the bigger picture of your career growth and knowledge development.
Our Tech
Our tech-stack is mainly, but not limited to TypeScript-based React. We conduct unit testing and code reviews across the board and have an internal react boilerplate to help us set up greenfield projects utilising the latest technologies and standards as well as approaches that we regularly discuss and review as a team. When working with clients with existing codebases we aim to consult and help them find the best solution, drive their technology standards and understanding forward. We also have a range of internal project and personal development time that we utilise to explore and drive forward latest frontend technologies, like Next.js or Gatsby. We promote ownership from inception through to production with our developers writing unit, feature, integration and e2e using tools such as React Testing Library, Cypress, Enzyme and Webdriver.
