Our office is in Helsinki, and for team collaboration we expect our people to work two days per week in the office. Our team is easy-going yet super talented and ambitious and we are set to make an impact for the future. Note that playing a musical instrument is a benefit, but not at all mandatory. There is a fair chance to learn, as everybody gets a free Guitar or an Ukulele! Note that we will ask selected candidates to perform a design assignment as part of the recruiting process.
