• Competitive base salary
• Access to equity
• Private health insurance
• Private pension scheme
• Flexible work setup + occasional travel to Madrid or Lisbon

• Hands-On: You’re comfortable diving into operational challenges and making things work
• Analytical: You break down problems logically and bring structured thinking to ambiguous situations
