*DO I NEED TO MATCH ALL THE POSITION REQUIREMENTS TO APPLY?

Well, it depends. Studies have shown that men are more likely to apply for a job when they meet at least 60% of the position requirements, while others (women/non-binary) with the same percentage of match are not. (No, not all men are equal – we're talking statistics here.

If you want an "insider tip" it would be this: apply even if you don't meet all the requirements. Sure, we might reject your application: that's the worst that can happen. But instead, we might redirect you to another role that could be a better fit. Could be a win-win!

Don't reject your own application before giving us a chance to evaluate your skills and experience. We are all learning! Although the list of position requirements above is carefully crafted and considered, you might end up being a better team member than we could've hoped for, even though you don't meet all the requirements. It happens more often than you'd think.

Note: We support your relocation, anyhow you would be required to be resident in one of the following countries: Germany, France, Sweden, The Netherlands, United Kingdom and Switzerland.
