What we offer

Innovative mission: Together we create something new. Work in a dynamic set-up where you learn a lot and your every idea is heard.
Unique team spirit: We can rely on each other blindly and celebrate all successes together as a team.

Hybrid working model: We love our brand new office in Prenzlauer Berg. But sometimes you need a little more flexibility. Zenjob’s flexible working model combines the best of both worlds, so you can work remotely up to 2 days / week (1 day, during the first 6 months, so we can guarantee you the best onboarding).
Dog-lover: If you have a dog, feel free to bring it with you. We don’t bite and always have a bowl of water in our range of drinks
