Preferred

We offer

  • Tasks that require the ability to make safe and effective architectural decisions, as well as apply interesting programming approaches in practice.

  • The freedom to switch out processes and approaches for more efficient ones without lengthy approvals or bureaucracy.

Our Perks

Flexibility at work

Caring for health and well-being
  • We provide voluntary health insurance for employees and their children, and reimburse online sessions with a psychologist.
