You will advocate for clean, maintainable code and strong frontend architecture, while balancing performance, accessibility, and rapid feature delivery to provide the best experience for our users.

What You Will Do

We believe in small empowered teams that focus on delivering large impact.

With offices across Geneva, Zürich, Barcelona, London and more, you spend most of your time collaborating face‑to‑face with people who genuinely care about what they’re building.
• Food: Lunch and snacks are on us every day in our offices so you can focus on the work and not what’s for lunch.
• Transport: getting to the office shouldn’t cost you. We cover public transport, bike allowances, or parking, whichever works for you.
