A bit about the team

**Here’s where it gets interesting**: structurally, the bigger Sales team consists of separate subteams with people specializing in different tasks—Regional Sales (that’s the one this ad is for), Pre-Sale Engineers, Customer Engagement & Renewal Specialists, Sales Analytics.

The team itself is large and multinational. Members speak six different languages, so their office sometimes resembles a busy city square: lots of people, laughter, and foreign speech ringing out everywhere.

We will try to create all the right conditions for you to work and rest comfortably
- This offer stands for the remote work format. Digital nomadism, #wfh - call it what you like ;)
- Flexible working day start.
- Health insurance coverage.
- Corporate events.
- Training, courses, conferences.
- Gifts for employees.

Finally, a little more about our company

We’ve been developing our product for 14 years and have been awarded G2's Top 100 Software Products, Global a
