Do you want to join our rocket ship?

If you have previously worked at a large corporate company, you might find that we are somewhat different. Being a scale-up means that things can move fast, and that sometimes comes at the cost of absolute control. In return, we get to have a lot of fun, learn a lot, and develop into positions and responsibilities we couldn’t achieve at bigger companies. If you’ve made it this far, we hope that you can see yourself at VAEKST, and hope that you will reach out with an application.
