Work with us

Both roles are contract work rather than employment, and that is stated first because it is the thing people most want to know. You are self-employed, you invoice the company and you handle your own tax. Remuneration is set out in full in the role documents, which are sent before any call.

The company works this way by design. We believe in independent workers who control their own time and their own earnings, and the business is built around them. Keeping internal staff to a minimum keeps our costs lower than our competitors', and the difference goes two ways: lower prices for clients, and a larger share of the profit for the contractors and staff who do the work. That is part of the company's ethical core, not a cost-saving measure.

Brand Ambassador

Run the company's public presence and bring in first contact.

You build and run EGM's social media and content presence, generate and qualify inbound interest, and hand qualified leads to the company with enough context for it to scope and quote. Software contracts come first: they have the shortest cycle and pay a fixed fee per contract. Courses, training and consulting for schools and businesses come second and pay a commission per sale.

You do not write proposals, quote, negotiate scope or manage the client once a contract is signed. Every contract is scoped and priced by the company. Your job is presence, pipeline and first contact.

How you are paid

Commission only. There is no retainer, no salary and no fixed hours. You are paid when a contract you brought in is signed and the client pays. For software, that is a fixed fee per qualifying contract, at one level now and a higher level once delivery capacity doubles, paid in step with the client's instalments. For education and consulting, it is a defined amount per sale or engagement, confirmed in writing before the work starts. A contract qualifies when the client came to EGM through a channel you run or a lead you introduced, confirmed between us when it is signed.

Who it suits

Someone who can write, who can run a conversation with a buyer without a script, who is comfortable building an audience from nothing, and who would rather be judged on outcomes than on hours. A network in business or education is an advantage. Growth in the role comes from volume: a small number of large contracts a year is enough to replace a full-time salary.

Trainee Software Developer

A paid, working programme that trains you to deliver software engagements end to end.

EGM builds software with AI doing the building and a person doing the deciding. The person decides what is built, in what order and to what standard, controls the machine it is built and tested on, runs independent reviews of the work, reads the evidence and talks to the client. This programme trains you to be that person. You do not write code, and none is taught.

It is a working programme, not a classroom one. From the first week you run real build sessions on real or replayed engagements, produce the same documents the company produces, and are assessed on those documents by the standard the company applies to its own software: observed, cited, reviewed. There are no examinations.

What you will be able to do

Take an engagement from a first message to a handed-over, running system: turn a client's inputs into a sourced brief; produce options, a costing and a quote that agree with each other; deliver a clickable prototype; run build batches to green on a machine you control and write evidence whose every number cites a log line; run independent reviews and take the decisions that are yours; rehearse the release on a real host; write an operator guide a client can run the system from; and close the warranty on the same evidence rule as the build.

How it is structured

Twelve modules, one per step of the company's method, each with a written guide, templates and an assessed artefact. Four stages: orientation, supervised operator, independent operator, and lead. You advance by producing evidence that meets each stage's exit criteria, not by elapsed time. Indicatively, week one is orientation on a replay of a completed engagement, weeks two and three are supervised batches and a review round, and weeks four to six are a small engagement end to end.

Who it suits

Someone organised and precise, who can follow a written recipe exactly, read structured output, and say "I have not verified that" rather than "it should be fine". No programming background is needed. Familiarity with everyday office software and a willingness to work at a command prompt from written instructions are enough.
