So, we are open-minded about candidates from different locations 

Our Digital Production team currently has over 15 members and is constantly growing. UX/UI Designers, Front-end and Back-end Developers, and Project Managers work together to make better solutions and push boundaries.

Our digital production team is the fastest growing Degordian team (150% YoY) and we plan to continue like that. This person is willing to get other people’s insight into the projects they develop, share and gain knowledge through code reviews, mentor members of the development team, and help others in achieving their full potential. If you enjoy learning, experimenting with technologies, coming up with innovative ideas, and take pride in your fearless attitude when it comes to development – you’ll be the ideal person to help us solve our (De)Gordian knots!
