About us
What we believe in

We believe that, in addition to hiring the best talent, a diversity of perspectives, ideas and cultures leads to the creation of better products. We hire people who are passionate about the product and team, and we favor ability and willingness to learn over experience. EDURINO is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, or gender. We foster a work environment that enables personal and professional growth and always strive to find the truth in discussions, independent of seniority or position as all opinions are respected.
What makes us special

  • A start-up culture based on trust with flat hierarchies. Join an early stage start-up, take on responsibility from day 1 and be part of the ride.
  • A hybrid working mode. Work remotely from wherever you like within Germany or from our office in Munich (Haidhausen).
  • Regular company events. We meet in Munich twice a year and do fun stuff together. Travel expenses covered.
  • Regular team events (online and offline). While remote, we meet online for a pub quiz or a drawing game. While in Munich, we go hiking at Tegernsee, we meet at the "Biergarten" or we do an exit game.
  • A multicultural team and English first as our company language. We believe that a variety of perspectives, ideas and cultures lead to better products.
  • A share package for every employee. You benefit from the exit of a rapidly growing company.
  • Family-friendliness and work-life balance. We have trust-based working hours that offer a maximum of flexibility and self-management.
  • Additional benefits. KITA allowance (Germany), the hardware you need (e.g. Mac or Windows), employee benefit offerings with exclusive discounts, bike leasing (JobRad), and a company pension scheme.
