🏢 devowl.io: Develop innovative data protection solutions with us!
Since 2015, we at devowl.io have been developing and distributing WordPress plugins (and in the future also SaaS products) that make life easier for website owners. Over 200,000 websites trust our products for their needs, and we support them every day. 🍪 Real Cookie Banner, a consent management solution, is our most popular product, and we plan to develop further data protection products with you that not only meet legal requirements but are especially understandable for people in order to make compliance in their everyday lives easier.
In our small remote-first team, each employee is valued as an individual. We communicate as equals, self-organize our working hours around our lives and try to give our best together every day using modern technologies!
