- Ability to work autonomously while contributing to a highly collaborative team
- Passion for improving the developer experience
What’s on Offer
- Compensation: €80,000 – €110,000 depending on experience
- Remote: Work from anywhere in the EU
- Influence: Own key projects and help shape the future of the ecosystem
