Hi! We are verkstedt. 👋

We are a distributed team of software developers, regularly meeting in Cologne and Berlin.

We are looking for a Working student Customer Success & QA to join our team.

Your role will be pivotal, supporting the Product Owner by managing support requests, enhancing documentation, and playing a key role in our quality assurance efforts. This is your opportunity to contribute directly to the excellence of our products and the satisfaction of our customers.

Join us and become part of a seasoned team! We offer you the opportunity to contribute and learn in the context of innovative software projects, work flexibly and focus on making a difference, not bureaucracy.

You'll be part of a team where appreciative and supporting communication forms our DNA, enabling a conducive and respectful environment for all.
