You’ll get to work autonomously while being part of an innovative and collaborative team. We have a fully distributed international team and take flexible working seriously. Our general approach is that you can choose how you best work, whether it be from home, the office, or somewhere else. For us it’s more than just taking your laptop home – we know that it takes effective project management, communication and transparent accountability to make flexible arrangements work.
We also have an awesome company culture, and you’ll always feel welcome at our in-person and virtual social events.
