What we can offer:

• Work with two founders directly, meaning you will live & breathe how companies are built on a day-to-day basis.
• Very small team. As such, we treat each other with love & care.
• Being able to work in a start-up environment will boost your future employability skills as you will have to simultaneously take responsibility in multiple roles.
