• A variety of projects: From startups to agencies to established companies across the US, UK, and Australia.

• Your workspace, your choice: Home, café, coworking space, or our Kraków office (yes, there’s parking!).

• Flexible hours: Work when you work best, as long as there’s some overlap with our team and clients.

• Full transparency: We openly share company decisions, direction, and health, so you’re always in the loop.
