About the opportunity

English version will follow

All of our job postings describe a bit of a unicorn. If you’re kind of a “narwhal,” please apply anyway. You don’t need to meet all the requirements, let alone the bonus criteria. While experience and skill sets are valuable, growth potential and attitudes are equally important. We are usually flexible on levels or can advise you when a more relevant posting opens.
