Benefits

The best bit about Rocketmakers is the crew (we know everyone says that, but we genuinely mean it!). We've been building awesome digital products for over 18 years and are proud of the culture and people we've created.


Everyone is trusted for their expertise and encouraged to support others in delivering successful projects.


We work in small, multi-skilled teams, always aiming to be as agile and thoughtful as possible. We invest in our people's health, wellbeing, and development, and host a wide range of social activities so there's something for everyone who wants to get involved.


Rocketmakers is owned and run by Richard and Keith, both from software engineering and architecture backgrounds, who built the company to be the kind of place they'd want to work.


Our HQ is just 5-10 minutes from the train station in central Bath. We're actively involved in the Bristol and Bath tech community, sponsor local organisations and events, and work with schools to encourage the next generation of technologists from all backgrounds.
