What do you love about working at Coconut?
Every day is a new learning experience. The context around the problems we are solving has evolved as the company has grown and it’s a dynamic learning environment to be part of!
Why should potential candidates consider joining the Coconut team?
We put great focus on developing the people we bring on board. How we treat our people and how we carry ourselves as an organization matters just as much to us as making it to our next growth goal. Winning isn’t the only thing that matters, how you win matters!
How do you enjoy spending your time when you’re not at work?
I spend a lot of time following trends and dabbling in new technologies. But I also try to make time for disconnecting too and love to spend my evenings exploring the city and hanging out on rooftop pubs with friends. If you can’t keep your mind clear and on the big picture, you will derail yourself!
