Where We Are

Eindhoven is the Tech Center of The Netherlands and a thriving international city. It is very modern, progressive, and diverse. Small enough to explore on a bicycle and large enough to house the technology university, a top-tier football team, and the country's longest bar and restaurant street.

• Fully remote during and post COVID-19 pandemic or onsite.
• Working hours are within the European time zone (CET).

Team culture
Embrace our core values:

Go beyond boundaries!

• Use a “First Principles” approach.
• Take nothing at face value.
• Define your own path around obstacles.
• Embrace ideas that almost anyone would consider outrageous.

Excel!

• Perform exceptionally well.
• Strive for symmetry (or intentional dissymmetry), beauty and polish.
• Craft meticulously. Don’t stop when “it’s good enough…”.
• Move mountains.

Be nice!

• Apply the Most Respectful Interpretation approach with one another.
• Maintain a safe environment for us, our partners and consumers.
• Be transparent and do not keep up appearances.
• Be candid and call out someone’s mistake but be nice about it. If you haven’t learned how to do this yet, learn it now.
• Be respectful of other people’s time. Be punctual, prepared, and brief.

Grow!

• Seek hard problems to solve.
• Be better than yesterday.
• Step out of your comfort zone often, take risks, make mistakes and learn from them.
• Fail fast to succeed sooner.
• Challenge each other to keep growing.
• Blame none other but yourself, embrace failure and move on.
