Careers

Work on the part that has to work.

Tessel runs payroll checks, refunds and month-end closes for 1,900 teams. We are hiring people who like that kind of responsibility and want calm weeks to carry it.

Why work here

Good defaults, for people too.

The same rule as the product. Pick sensible defaults, write them down and keep them for everyone.

Remote across the EU

Work from anywhere between Lisbon and Helsinki. Meet the whole team in Rotterdam twice a year, travel paid.

Four-day focus weeks

One week in four has no meetings from Monday to Thursday. Friday is for demos and writing up what shipped.

€2,000 learning budget

Every year, for courses, books or conferences. Spend it without asking, then share one thing you learned.

Equity for everyone

Every hire gets stock options with a ten-year exercise window. The numbers are in your offer, in writing.

30 days off

Plus public holidays where you live. We check in with anyone who has taken fewer than 20 by October.

Hardware you choose

A laptop, monitor and chair of your choice, plus €600 a year for your home office.

How we work

Three habits we hire for.

01

Write first

Proposals start as a two-page doc. Meetings are for the questions the doc could not answer.

02

Ship small

We release every weekday behind flags, trace every change and roll back without a post-mortem when needed.

03

Own it

Every service and every customer has one named owner. They decide, and they ask for help early.

Hiring process

Four steps. About four weeks.

You hear back within five working days at every step, including when the answer is no.
