It's been a few years since I joined the 5miles team looking for a challenging experience. And the journey has been amazing. It’s a good product, based on interesting technology, powered by a charming team. 5miles allows you to have a direct impact on customers, while developing your skills in a company that’s on an exciting journey. I’m having a lot of fun, and enjoying the moment.

HOW IT ALL STARTED
‘No time’, ‘not a 100% match with my training needs’, ‘a large group with too many different skill levels’, ‘hard to remember everything after a full day of training’ - there are many reasons why traditional learning does not fit the majority of professionals anymore.
In addition, in a fast-changing world continuous learning is getting increasingly important. That’s why we want to help build a world where professionals can improve skills essential for their job, on a daily basis in an inspiring and fun way.
WHERE WE ARE TODAY
The 5miles online learning tool empowers business professionals worldwide to learn new skills in just 5 minutes a day, whenever it suits them. We believe that this is the most effective way to help them to work smarter, have a bigger impact and experience more joy in their job.
We are a tech-driven scale-up and at the forefront of online professional skills development. Our clients are among the leading companies in the world, including ABN AMRO, KPMG, Euronext and Heineken (see photo on the left of our 4 year anniversary with our clients).
At this moment, we are very excited to take the next step in our growth process and expand both our team and international user base. Our mission is to create the best learning experience for business professionals. We have just crossed the milestone of 1 million learning moments, and as a next step we want to double this number over the coming years. Come and join us on this mission!
WHAT IT IS LIKE TO WORK WITH US
At 5miles we share a passion for learning, innovation and tech. Every individual’s work in the team has a direct impact on customers. We encourage you to share your ideas on a daily basis, and to experiment your way to success. We have a small team and our culture can be decribed as transparent and casual.
While we value working in a structured and focused way, we are in a period of rapid growth. That means that for many things we do we are exploring new territory. If you go around by the phrase ‘I have never done this before, so I think I can do it’ - then let’s talk!
And last but not least: we promise great office spots in Amsterdam, flexibility in when and where you work, fun team events, your well-being as our priority, and the addictive buzz that comes from working at a fast growing scale-up!

Gerardo Colorado
Chief Technical Officer
For me working at 5miles is just amazing. True daily grind does not exist, cause no day is the same. It’s hard work, but with a big smile. 5miles is what happens if a group of incredibly passionate, talented people come together for a joint mission: magic happens. And it’s the magic that makes me go the extra mile.
