What we do
We make developer tools that enable C/C++, Java, Flash, and native Linux applications to be compiled, emulated and virtualised into HTML5/WebAssembly. Our tools are used to develop high-performance web apps in 'traditional' programming languages, to port existing code to the Web, or to preserve accessibility to legacy applications by converting/emulating them to HTML5. We have a global client base including multiple Fortune-100 companies and public sector organisations, in sectors including financial services, CAD software, HR and operations, logistics, defence and aerospace, retail, science and education, and video games.
Our incredibly talented, tight-knit team works from different locations with a hybrid remote/office approach. Our main offices are Leeds, United Kingdom and Amsterdam, Netherlands. We value a great, informal work environment, high flexibility, and having genuine fun and excitement every day at work.
