An office located conveniently in downtown Helsinki, with fun office pastimes and cool Small Giant swag to lounge in, as well as flexible remote working possibilities
Competitive salary and other benefits, such as lunch, sports and culture benefit as well as extensive health and dental care and comprehensive travel insurance
