What is working at Bettermile like?
  • We mean it when we say “cutting edge” and have a high level of creative freedom in our everyday work.

  • You will be surrounded by like-minded, driven, skilled, and highly motivated people who are keen to contribute to successful solutions.

  • We mean diversity, and we put it in numbers: 100+ people, 33 languages, 41% female (vs. ø26% in the tech industry), ø33 years of age, and yes, we do have Schlager-Fans among us.

  • We have a very supportive and appreciative working environment with a lot of autonomy, a flat hierarchy, and professional growth possibilities.

  • We work in a hybrid mode, with weekly team days for better collaboration and nurturing interpersonal connections. When onsite, we work in a modern, kid- and pet-friendly Better Space in the heart of Berlin-Kreuzberg.

  • Remote work from anywhere for up to 12 weeks in total per year.

  • 27 vacation days in a 5-day/week working model.

  • Kindergarten grant and a Company Pension scheme.

  • Regular team breakfasts, fitness & wellness classes, company runs, and other events. Fruits, snacks, drinks, and coffee with a variety of milk are a given - but yes, we have them.

  • Outstanding flexibility we are proud of – and, of course, the best colleagues in the world!
