What We Offer: * Official military deferment (reservation) * A competitive salary that appreciates your skills and experience * Cozy atmosphere and modern approaches. We have neither bureaucracy nor strict management nor “working under pressure” conditions * Opportunity to implement your ideas, tools, and approaches. We are open to changes and suggestions aimed at improvement * Work on a strategic, large-scale international project with high visibility. * Remote-friendly culture with strong team collaboration.
