• Collaborate in an agile environment with developers and a creative design team

This role is remote-friendly.

Most of your work happens wherever you're most productive, in the office or at home.

What we do need is the flexibility to join us in the office for project-related tests and setups, depending on each project's scope.

That's why being based in the Hamburg metropolitan region is a must.
