Why you will love it

• You can work from wherever you want, be it a beach, the mountains, your house, or anywhere else that lies in any time zone between UTC-1 and UTC+3.
• We have your costs covered for your co-working space membership or your work-from-home office setup and the latest devices and equipment to do your best work.
• You’ll become an essential part of our diverse and international team with colleagues based in 20+ countries across Europe.
• 38 paid days off (inclusive public holidays) – you are free to take those days whenever it suits you, including a well-deserved winter holiday break.
