(Editor’s note: This post of curated careers was updated on 4 November with an opening at JW Player.)
This is the third in a series of curated careers posts … the coolest jobs here in Eindhoven, Europe’s most important – and most under-the-radar – deep-tech hub, as well as in other Dutch innovation centers.
Dispatches posts a lot of career opportunities. What’s different about this series is we’re recommending companies we know, have covered or we actually work with. So we know these teams … the actual people and their corporate cultures. They’re cool and you’ll want to hang with them. So, this is an endorsement or we wouldn’t include them.
All of these companies employ highly skilled internationals and all require candidates to speak fluent English.
(To be clear, this is not a paid endorsement because we don’t get anything for this beyond the pleasure of their company. Which actually means a lot to us.)
