TLDR; We have nice perks, exciting projects for interesting clients, and won’t work you to death.

• You have big opportunities to influence your job and how we work.
• You’ll enjoy a creative and smooth work environment.
• We’re the best colleagues.
• Remote work = OK. We have our HQ in Stockholm but you’re free to work from wherever you want within the Milky Way.
• Because we’re an international team, English is the lingua franca internally. We also speak Swedish, Portuguese, Korean, Slovak, Bulgarian, Spanish, and Lithuanian…
• We’re a team - leave no colleague behind! We try to avoid projects where you’d end up on a long-term contract on your own.
• 25 days of paid vacation every year.
• Personal Development Days – Every other Friday, we step away from client work and choose something else that will boost our skills and expertise.
• Company Development Days – When we feel it’s necessary to learn new things that require more time than one day every other week, we take time off to do that. How often and how long varies.
• Overtime is our enemy and should not exist. You work 9-5, 8–4, 10–6, or whatever suits you. If you can’t stop building stuff, then go do good deeds in open source!

• Education budget. 400 EUR/year to spend on stuff that makes you a better designer or developer. Upgrade your GitHub account? Play around with a VPS on DigitalOcean? Pro account on CodePen? Fill your ebook reader with an unhealthy amount of ebooks? It’s your choice.

• You’ll get a Macbook Pro or whatever computer you prefer that runs OS X or Linux.
