• Detail-oriented and organised, able to manage multiple projects and maintain consistency
• A curious mindset with a proactive approach to solving design problems and contributing ideas

• Work with a globally distributed team of engineers, product specialists, and domain experts
• Competitive salary with a benefits package tailored to your region
• Flexible paid time off and strong focus on work-life balance
• Room to grow—through mentorship, learning support, and long-term progression
• Occasional travel, with costs covered for international collaboration
