What we offer
You enjoy our flexible work schedule and start working at a time in the morning that aligns best with your private situation. We have a tram stop directly in front of our office building, alternatively a private car park or our spacious bike locking room with separate showers. For lunch, people often go out in groups, or meet in our winter garden or up on the roof terrace. The occasional coffee chat or water-cooler talk keeps you connected to neighboring teams. If its Friday you will either give or attend a technical talk and enjoy some pizza or barbecue after. We offer a culture of learning and mentorship.
