As part of this exciting expansion, we are looking for a Project Manager to join forces with us. Collaborating closely with our existing Project Managers, you will play a key role in creating and leading this new high-impact team.

Next step in our journey is to host our products in Azure and offer it to customers as a Software As A Service (SaaS) solution.
