Jobs at devowl.io

work on real exciting WordPress plugins

What does working for devowl.io mean to you?

Since 2015, we at devowl.io have been developing and distributing WordPress plugins that make life easier for website owners. Over 120,000 websites use our products, and we support them every day. Most recently, we made the world a little bit better with Real Cookie Banner with many great cookie banners – or at least simplified the cookie-hassle a little bit 😉

Each of us work where he or she feels most comfortable and work 100% remote. Whether in the city, in the countryside or in a community. We work when it fits best with our lives. And we are highly motivated to integrate our work into our lives as if it were the most beautiful thing in the world.

What matters to your application!

Forget about all the degrees, training, certificates, etc. It’s good to have learned a solid basis through them. But we’re much more interested in what you’ve already worked on in the real world, what drives you every day, and what can make your eyes light up. If you can imagine that you like to get up every day and work together with our team on exciting WordPress products (in the area of data protection), then show us your passion in a creative and unusual way. We are curious about your idea!

Our entire team will look at your application to form an opinion whether you are a good fit for our way of working, not only professionally, but especially as a person. We will all get to know each other better in a personal video call!
