What is working at Careibu like

💪 Ownership: There’s no boss telling you what you should or shouldn’t do. Nice, right? We think so too. That’s why we work self-organized, inspired by the holacracy model. Holawhat?! Don’t worry, it will become clear. Here’s a hint: we think it’s the most natural form of collaboration.

🌍 Impact: As a developer, you’ll be contributing to connecting generations and improving lives!
