• Flexibility: sometimes you just want to try something new. We get it, so we'll support you if you decide you want to switch to a new position, role, or project
• Teamwork: we value the expertise of every member of our team, so we really listen to each other
• Data-driven decision-making: all our product-related decisions are ultimately based on metrics, not subjective feelings
• Plus all the standard stuff: official employment, health insurance, and partial reimbursement for your gym membership

The recruitment process will consist of two phases: an interview with our Recruiter and a technical interview.
