The Sensible Code Company makes software to transform the processing and publication of data and statistics.

We’ve built Cantabular: a software framework for the protection and publication of statistical data that is being used by the Office for National Statistics to automate much of the dissemination for the 2021 England and Wales census.

We’re a friendly, supportive and experienced team focused on delivering high quality software. We use Go, Python, TypeScript, AWS, Slack, Trello, Google Workspace and GitHub.

We also host and run PDFTables.com which converts pages of PDF files into machine readable data for hundreds of thousands of users.
