• You tend to understand more than other developers at a similar level of experience and consistently dig deeper to build a stronger grasp of the subject.

• A friendly, collaborative and flat culture where good ideas can come from anyone.

What We Offer

• Base salary range: €3,500 - €5,000 gross per month based on your qualifications, competencies, and professional experience.
• Small but important perks — private health insurance, high-end equipment, tooling of your choice, and more.
