Team

We are a mixed international team with most developers based in Europe. The work environment is relaxed with short daily standup video calls and Slack communication. While the position is full remote, we prefer people based in Europe or the Eastern US region for timezone overlapping.

We all know how fast stacks change these days, so we appreciate developers who are comfortable switching between technologies and willing to learn when a new skill is required. We also believe that your experience is a valuable asset and you will be part of the decision-making process to improve the quality of our programs and our architecture.
