How we work

We lead with humility, move fast, and take ownership. We collaborate without ego and measure ourselves by real impact, not titles or hierarchy. We hire people who already live these values.

• Real impact on one of Europe’s most ambitious space projects.

• Growth: we cover 50% of courses or master’s degrees (up to 5% of your salary), plus Spanish and Catalan classes.

• Health & balance: 50% on private health insurance and Urban Sports Club, a flexible schedule, and hybrid work, we focus on results, not hours.

• Flexible Compensation: flexible compensation through Cobee (meal, transport, kindergarten).

• A truly global team: 20+ nationalities building something genuinely new - and genuinely nice to work with. Great vibes, real teamwork.

• A real welcome: a dedicated buddy from day one.

• Life outside work: we organize leisure and sports activities both during and outside working hours - because great teams connect beyond the screen.

• Catering: if you don't have time to cook, we partner with a catering company so a freshmeal is sorted, no need to think about it.

• Parking: on-site parking at the office, with Sateliot covering 50% of the cost - plus free bike parking if you prefer to pedal in.
