  • Heroku

  • Python and Django

  • Postgres

  • ElasticSearch

  • Redis and Memcache

  • 1,000 DKK monthly budget for coffee and snacks

  • A minimum of two company retreats per year

  • Maternity/paternity leave.


We are looking for candidates located in the Greater Copenhagen Region to make sure you can participate in our physical meetings, workshops, and ad hoc get-togethers.


How we work

  • We work from home on a daily basis.

  • A daily stand-up helps us to have an overview of what everyone is focusing on.

  • We organize our work in 3-week sprints, where we focus on well-defined projects.

  • We meet at least once a month for planning sessions, workshops, or social time.

  • We use Slack, Google docs, and Figma to ensure smooth communication and collaboration.

  • We foster an environment where remote work feels inclusive, and everyone has an equal ability to join the discussions about the product.


About the team

We are a small international team, with most of us located in Copenhagen. We became remote-first at the beginning of 2020, and since then have developed well-working processes and tech infrastructure to foster transparent and effective working from home model.

That being said, we love to meet in person for planning sessions, company retreats, or simply to have some fun social time together.
