Frequently Asked Questions

• How will you hire in my country?

  We have legal entities in the U.S. and in Switzerland. In both countries you can be employed directly by us.

  In all other countries we will use an Employer of Record approach: You will be hired by Remote . Remote has subsidiaries in many countries and is responsible for compliance with labour laws and regulations. We can select benefit packages for each country and employees.

  You can find all available countries on their website. If you are domiciled in a country that does not offer EoR, we currently can't consider you for employment.

• Where is the team located?

  Most of our Engineering is in Europe. We are building up sales and marketing in the U.S., since many of our customers are U.S. based.

• Are you fully remote?

  Yes. We had an office at the beginning of our journey, but terminated it since occupancy was very low. Since then we have transitioned to a full-remote team.

  We value Flextime and results over hours spent behind the desk. This coupled with different working hours, multiple time-zones, and finding the best people for our team, led us on the fully remote journey.

  We meet regularly online for social events. Two times per year we meet together for a team retreat in person.

• How big is the team?

  The team is currently around 20 people, thereof the majority is in engineering roles. We are an engineering company and it is important to us to drive future product development for our community and customers.

• What’s your (technology) stack?

  We don't expect you to have experience with all technologies right from the start.

  We are an open source company, so you should be comfortable with open development and processes.
