We have well-known investors (including neosfer - part of the Commerzbank Group and the former CIO of innogy) and renowned customers (including Heraeus, Görtz and Haniel) and can therefore continue to drive our rapid growth.

Women and other members of marginalized groups, on the other hand, often only apply if they meet every single criterion. So, if you think you have the potential but don't exactly meet every point in the job description, apply anyway. Applicants of all ages are welcome.
