You resist the influence of biases.

You feel deeply responsible for your work.
You hold yourself to a high and rising bar.
Adversarial instinct.
You don't just ask whether something works.
You ask how you'd break it, and what you'd do if you were on the other side of it.
Team spirit.
You give generously and without the expectation of receiving in return.
You support the best idea, not your idea.
You're always happy to get your hands dirty to help your team.
You're reliable, honest, and transparent.
Proficiency in English.
You read, write, and speak proficiently in English.

Compensation
We offer a competitive salary (from €40,200 to €87,600 + equity, depending on the role and experience. With exceptionally experienced candidates it can go up to €120,000)

The selection process
Every candidate goes through the same process, regardless of seniority.
If you pass our initial screening, you'll be asked to complete a technical exercise.
A remote interview with our technical team follows, and the next stage is an on-site interview.
We set the bar high and won't extend an offer until we're confident we've found the right person, which is why this role may stay open for a while.
