• Fun: We don’t just work for the sake of working. Besides non-work related things we do as a team regularly (dinners, offsites, sports activities etc.), we want to have fun every day and don’t take things too seriously.
• Hybrid: We don’t offer any fully remote positions (yet). We believe in the early days of a company working together in the same room and having team events regularly is extremely important. You can work from home, but we are looking for people who want to be part of and shape our company and culture not solely through video calls.
