Last but not least, you will work in an international team full of talented employees spread across offices in Zurich, Singapore, and the European Union.

What we offer

Aside from a competitive compensation, we offer many benefits including 25 vacation days, 10 sick leave days, remote work, handling of your taxes and invoices, and a people-first company culture with zero bureaucracy.
As a product company, we have a strong focus on quality and quality assurance: all pull requests are subject to mandatory code reviews, new features are extensively tested by a. QA team, and we do not cut corners.
We speak technology: Bi-weekly tech meetings offer an opportunity for developers to share their contributions to the codebase with the rest of the team, discuss pain points, or simply demo a new library that was presented last week at one of the big code conferences. We emphasise collaboration in our development processes: the team is eager to help you with questions regarding business or software  architecture at any time.

Last but not least, you will work in an international team full of talented, determined, and enthusiastic employees spanning across offices in Zurich, Singapore, and the European Union.

If you had previous exposure to four or more of these technologies and are looking for a new challenge then you should definitely contact us. We are looking for a fast learner with broad interests and a positive attitude. Of course, a degree in computer science, mathematics, physics, or engineering is always a plus and so are personal- or open-source tech projects to which you have made major contributions.

*Note: we do have a dedicated in-house DevOps team to support us with these
