The ideal teammate for us would be someone experienced as an IT Support Engineer, ideally in a fast-paced startup environment. We are looking for someone who is passionate about problem-solving, enjoys working with others, and loves to make chaotic situations run smoothly, and understands the value of strong processes.
If you have the below experience and capabilities, we'd love to hear from you:

English is a must. We are a multicultural team and we are providing a service in English so, we don't care about certificates but we expect you to be able to communicate fluently.
If you think you don't tick all the boxes, we'd still love to hear from you. Nobody checks every box, and we are looking for someone excited to join the team.
If you are the ONE, we have a lot to offer…

- Unlimited remote working: you can choose to work from home indefinitely or attend to our Madrid headquarters whenever you feel like it.
