Our culture:
We are an open, friendly team that welcomes people from all cultures and backgrounds. Our

challenging ourselves.
We have a remote-friendly environment while still having an office (in Munich). We generally
encourage new joiners to come more often to the office. For this designer position, we feel it’s
essential to be able to work in the office the first few months, but for exceptional candidates we
are more flexible.
