• You have a solid understanding of software development methodologies and best practices.
• You have excellent communication and collaboration abilities.

• Flat hierarchies: opportunity to work closely with the founders and the leadership team.
• Fast-paced environment: quickly measure and learn about the impact of your work.
• Flexibility: everyone has their own highly productive times - we look at the output and not at what time it was produced.
• Hybrid setup: we enjoy in-person sessions, but we have also learned (thank you Covid) how to be efficient with remote working.
• Competitive scale-up package with the possibility to partake in the upside.
• Work anywhere: we offer up to 6 weeks remote work within the EU.
