Additional information

We work with motivated people, who support and enrich each other. We live the possibilities of the digital world through home office, meaning you can work anywhere (within Switzerland) with flexible (annual) working hours. We also value face-to-face exchanges - coffee or tea, biscuits or fruit are all welcomed on board and shared throughout our offices.

If you ever feel the need to take a break from the digital world, we love to get hands-on together and use pens, paper, and whiteboards for brainstorming sessions. Need to clear your head? Hit the foosball table, PlayStation, massage bench or yoga mat. For networking and (brain) food, we offer regular exchange formats, like meetings, tech labs and more.

Not enough? We are full believers in education and support training, whether it be internally or externally. We support you.

If you feel inspired by us, we'll probably be inspired by you. Join us now and apply online to make sure we match each other's expectations. We value diversity and therefore welcome all applications - regardless of gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion/worldview, disability, age, as well as sexual orientation and identity.

We look forward to hearing from you!
