Application Process

We aim to make our hiring process transparent, respectful of your time, and focused on finding the right mutual fit. After reviewing your application, we’ll invite selected candidates to a series of interviews. These typically include a conversation with the team, a technical or role-specific exercise, and time to get to know our culture and ways of working.

We do our best to keep the process efficient and streamlined — usually completing all steps within a couple of weeks.

Benefits and Perks

• Flexible working hours. Due to the customer support and the daily cycle of our core customer base, 10:00-15:00 CET is required. If you need to finish up earlier, it’s fine — that’s just the default. Other than that, there are no restrictions — just attend the meetings and stay in alignment with the team.
• Paid time off. All bank holidays are off. On top of that, there are 26 days of paid time off and 5 days of sick leave.
• Hardware. We can take care of your laptop and a headset (if needed).
• Traveling. Company retreats are expected but not mandatory (once for the whole company and once for the product team). All conferences, local events, and online events (meetups, conferences, etc.) are highly encouraged but not mandatory. Traveling expenses can be covered in case of being a speaker and clearly mentioning aleno (for hiring, marketing, etc.)
