CORE VALUES:

TEAMWORK. As a developer, you will work with Designers, Copywriters, and Strategists. You will be responsible for bridging the gap between graphical design, strategy, and technical implementation, taking an active role on both sides, and defining how the experiment looks as well as how it works to ensure all elements of web creation are consistent. We are looking for someone reliable and willing to help as well as someone who will be proactive and ask for help when needed. 

USER-DATA-DRIVEN As a CRO agency, we based all our decisions on data. We trust numbers and we deeply think about our user experience. If you are curious about user-behavior and driven by conversions, you are the right fit.

ENTREPRENEUR  We are looking for a problem solver. When implementing new experiment concepts with our clients, you will be asked to research new tools and options to make them possible to test. We believe that self-improvement is the key to success and we will support you in any kind of training that stimulates you and helps you in your work.

PROCESS-DRIVEN You won't have someone watching over your shoulder on a day-to-day basis to make sure the work is getting done. We are strong believers in trust and autonomy but we must be confident that you will deliver the work in time even if you have a poor internet connection on your favorite beach spot or if your beer has spilled on your laptop when reaching out for your nachos. 

INITIATIVE Are you independent and proactive in your work? When you see that something is wrong, do you take action without being instructed? Our team puts great care and attention in the work we do. When we see an opportunity to solve a problem or improve a process, we take initiative without being told what to do. We hope you will too.

What is the lifestyle like?

Our company is built on the foundation of giving you flexibility in your lifestyle.

We’re not looking to put you in an office and waste your time in traffic. Our entire team is remote so, apart from calls, and meeting us in person every now and then, you’re free to live anywhere in the world that has a good wifi connection. However, we should be able to have some overlap in the working hours. We typically work 9-5 EST.

Before you apply...

If you're looking for a temporary opportunity or gap-year to fund your travels before committing for a more serious job, then you should not apply for this position.

We’re looking for people who share our vision for the future and want to grow with us. We want you to be part of our TEAM.

If we think you’re a good fit, we will reach out to you with a Technical task. After the tasks are done, the final candidates will be brought back for an interview before we make our decision.

This sounds awesome! How do I apply?
