ASSETS

At IMG.LY, we provide permanent contracts and offer competitive compensation. For those living in Germany, we offer employment contracts. Outside of Germany, we hire through an Employer of Record (DEEL) to ensure you are equally protected and covered. We embrace a thriving remote work culture, allowing you to design your work life flexibly. We support professional development, and every quarter, we break the routine with fun remote and in-person events, culminating in an all-expenses-paid team hideout once a year to stunning global locations.

LET’S TALK BUSINESS

Tell us what you’ve been working on in the past and where you see yourself in the future. The most recent projects are enough; we don’t care who you were 10 years ago, we care who you are now and where you are heading! Any sample project is worth more than a thousand words.
The hiring process begins with a 30-minute discussion focused on cultural fit and introducing IMG.LY as an organization, conducted by our People Experience Manager. Following this, you may receive a “take-home” assignment, estimated to require about three hours to complete. If your submission meets our standards, the next step will be a review and technical discussion with potential future colleagues. This is followed by meetings with both your prospective Team Lead and our CEO. After these steps, we will proceed to the decision-making phase.

• Vacation Time: Enjoy at least 25 days of vacation.
• Premium Equipment: Whether you prefer a MacBook or any other tools, we provide top-of-the-line gear to create your ideal workspace.
• Professional Development: We actively encourage and support your participation in conferences and meet-ups, whether you’re sharing your insights or learning from others.
