Job Description


The purpose of this role

First of all, this is not a classical "specialist" job. We're currently running with only one team. No departments, no line of reports, no "managing". Just 6 people, trying to work things out. This special situation makes it inevitable that every role currently joining must be able to think and operate within three contexts, almost like a Co-Founder (you actually will take on 3 jobs):

  1. Specialist Context: Fulfilling role-specific tasks in a professional way.
  2. Product Context: Thinking constantly about how to apply your skills to actually create a valuable product for our users.
  3. Business Context: Critically self-managing and prioritizing, only taking on projects that actually drive the company closer to its goals.

For the specialist context of this role, please check the role description further below.

Please only apply when you are based in EU or have secured way of working for an EU based company.
