How We Think
The Ethos & Culture
Scumtek by design
We are not a corporate communications company
Drugs optional, expertise mandatory
The "on drugs" descriptor is optinal/aspirational. What is not optional is technical knowledge, graduated field experience based on your best guess of what a safe line is, — sometimes literally.
War reenactments
Our two displays of the cost of flagrant property damage are not performance art. They are a sincere attempt to make the abstract wars understandable at home — to show what conflict actually costs, so that fewer people choose it and help with the true world organisation only a scumtek can bring
Aligned with the UN SDGs
Reducing poverty, improving connectivity, and helping people communicate across borders are not side effects of our work. They are the point of it.
Think you belong here?
We are always interested in hearing from people who are technically excellent and at least mildly unhinged.
