Surely, you already peeked at our site and/or socials, but here’s our formal introduction copy: At Deity, we are building the leading platform for composable commerce, which provides merchants with the ability to map their processes by connecting with any ex- or internal service and fetch, enrich, expose and mutate data. Building fully customized and composed digital experiences, all perfectly tailored to their customer's needs.

What we offer

Pioneering - Deity has been at the forefront of composable commerce, way before it was called that way. You will join a team of experienced engineers at the top of their game, that closely collaborates to design and build products that become industry defining and raise the bar across the field.

Perks - A hybrid work environment (~2 days in the office), as we believe in the importance of being together in one room; Lunch, drinks, fruit and snacks in the office; Travel allowance or the option for a fancy lease car; Team activities, like our monthly game nights.

Flexibility - Life is way more than work. You will have deadlines, you will have meetings, and you will have to collaborate with the other team members. But when you don’t, you’re free to work however you want. Go swim in the morning or hit the gym. As long as the work is done, and you communicate proactively, we’re all good.

Growth - We want to stimulate continuous learning. Together, we will create a personal development plan for you to achieve even greater things together. We allocate time for this. Whether you want to experiment with new technologies, create a side project, or follow courses and events, we will find a way for you to develop.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion

We strive for our people to be a true cross-section of society. That is needed to make sure that the products we build uphold the same quality, regardless of who interacts with it. We welcome everybody irrespective of background, disability, religion, gender identity, sexuality or ethnicity. Hello world!
