Who We Are

Who We Are

We are a remote first company: you can work from the moon as long as you have a stable internet connection. We are a team of 60+ people working from Finland, Serbia, Georgia, Brazil, USA and other countries around the globe. That being said, you are always welcome to drop by our office in Helsinki.

Apart of meeting in the co-working spaces, we enjoy going out together and spending meaningful time inside and outside of the bars, but also cafes, escape rooms, restaurants, and cultural events.

We are a team of open-minded, friendly and high-skilled professionals who enjoy the challenge of creating a great product, growing together, and supporting one another.

We believe in respect and kindness, in teamwork, in feedback, in working relentlessly together for the same goal, all while having fun.

Do you have children or pets at home? That’s OK – so do we. We love a furry smile in our online meetings 🐶 🐈
