For this system to thrive, we’re looking for a new colleague who is willing to invest time & energy in building collaborative, trusting relationships with the core team, and establishing a meaningful role for themselves in our journey.
While we are a fully remote team, we meet somewhere in Europe for one compulsory in-person off-site per year, and optionally on 1-2 additional occasions. We also share a co-working space in Berlin where several of us work regularly together.
