Do you want to use your developer skills to make the world a better place? At Careibu, we aim to create a win-win: making the world a little better while being a dream organization to work at.

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!

🤘 Empowerment: At Careibu, everyone works from their own strengths. Your talents will get all the space they need, and there’s room for professional and personal growth. We see vulnerability as strength here.
