What can you expect from us?
Flexibility
It's about what you deliver. How, when and where? That's up to you. From our inspiring office or from your well-facilitated home office. First take the children to school in the morning or do some sports in the afternoon and then get back to work full of energy. Do what works best for you.
Healthy life-work balance
Of course you have a very nice job at VIKTOR ;). But other things are important too, such as family, friends and hobbies. Working overtime is avoided as much as possible. With 28 days off, we hope that you have enough time to do everything you love. If 28 days are not enough because you want to make a world trip, that is possible too!
Awesome team
Be part of an enthusiastic and driven team. We have a lot of fun and there is a plenty of room for ideas and initiatives. The most brilliant ideas often arise during a team outing, drinks or team building day. The weekly demos give you a good idea of what other colleagues are working on and how the platform is evolving. The flat structure ensures quick communication and decision-making.
Personal growth
Due to the monthly 1-on-1 conversations, there is constant attention on your personal growth and wellbeing. We are happy to help you develop yourself and realize your ambitions. You are part of a growing company where you contribute to innovative developments with a major impact. If you grow, we grow.
