Our team
As a group, we work hard to maintain a relaxed and supportive environment, preferring an emphasis on creative thinking instead of hours at the bench. We are always on the lookout for dynamic and creative individuals to join us. The group works best when we have a good gender balance, and we are 100% LGBTQ+ friendly.
