Breaking things by touching

In terms of engineering what do you look for in software developers who want to join you?

Tough question :) We look for humble engineers we can trust and who are really willing to fix all those broken search bars we're using every day. Hiring better than us, never compromise the culture, entrepreneur mindset is a plus!

Culture fit first, we like people that want to think about the most important thing for the company (we are 100% transparent on all topics). Then expertise, as a team we search for people that are better than us on at least one topic and that bring something new. The hiring process includes one day in the team with a final presentation on a topic you are passionate about.

We’re looking for talented, passion-driven developers which love to experiment and deliver features.

We have lots of room for personal projects as well, so ownership is definitely one aspect we really appreciate. Humble and grit are also very important personality traits we love in a person: this keeps us motivated and on the same page.
