We don’t have a never-ending application process. Just send us your CV and a cover letter so we can find out a bit more about you. If it looks like a good fit, we’ll have a a first online chat. And if we hit it off, we’ll take it further: we are doing the second step: welcome to our Berlin office for the technical interview – complete with coffee, a great team atmosphere and maybe even a quick game of table tennis to round things off.
We also embrace diversity within our organisation and are actively committed to equal opportunities. We’re therefore particularly keen to hear from people with different perspectives – regardless of gender, background, sexual orientation, age, disability or religious affiliation.
