  • Flexibility — yes please!: Hybrid work combines the benefits of home office and working in the office. That’s why we opted for a 2/3 split, which means that for a 40‑hour week we work at least 2 days on site with colleagues and 3 days from home. But that’s not all! We are also big fans of remote work. You have the option to work remotely for 20 days within Germany and an additional 20 days anywhere in Europe. So if you’re not a fan of the German winter, join us and you can spend that time in Portugal or Greece.
  • More benefits for you: Because we know how important well‑being is and because we love benefits, we offer more than the standard. Enjoy 2 additional Health Days, Menstrual Leave, a day off on your birthday, a partnership with Wellpass, the Deutschlandticket, membership with OpenUp and much more.
