Every employee receives an individual education budget per year to gain new knowledge and invest in their development by attending conferences, courses, lectures, and more! In addition to the individual education budget, there is an annual book budget dedicated to buying books the entire team can benefit from.

English Classes

Since we are an international company, English is the main language we use for communicating. Therefore, we provide English classes to all our employees who are non-native English speakers and who wish to enhance their professional communication skills.

We are building advanced, proprietary data-driven solutions designed to transform the user experience and unlock the true potential of iGaming operators, which means our team members have the opportunity to work on the latest technologies and tools.

Having a positive work-life balance ensures having enough time for both work and many other areas of your life, and we help you keep it that way.
Remote Work & Flexible Working Hours

With us, you will have the autonomy to select your preferred work location, and we are accommodating with regards to work schedule as well, providing you the flexibility to work from anywhere you desire.

Occasional Business Travel

We work across Europe and the US, and enjoy meeting face-to-face in any of our offices so occasional travel to Zagreb, London, Isle of Man or Las Vegas might be on the horizon!

25 days vacation

Health benefits of taking a vacation, such as improved productivity, lower stress, and better overall mental health, are just a few out of many reasons why at Huddle we have decided to give all our full-time employees across all our offices the benefit of having 25 days off per year.

Health

You know the old saying – the greatest wealth is health.

Physical activity is an important factor for overall health and well-being, regardless of age, gender or background. Therefore we support our employees in this area as well. We offer different options, based on our employee’s location.

Additional and Supplementary Health Insurance

We help our employees to keep their health as a priority number one by covering their regular health checks that help to identify early warning signs of disease or illness. Whether it is an annual health check-up or getting a specialist physical examination at a private clinic, we got it covered.

The Application process

Our most usual application and selection process looks like this:

Pre-selection

based on your LinkedIn profile or CV. We are interested in your experience and roles on previous projects, your motivation, and your drivers, not just your skills. You’ll have a lot of opportunities anyway for learning and building up your skills.

Intro call

where you get a chance to meet up with our People and Culture team member and either the hiring manager or one of the seniors from the team. Since this is our first date, and expectations go both ways, we want to answer all the important questions.

Assignment

usually follows up after the Intro call, and it allows us to get deeper into the technical side, as well as your way of thinking. There is no perfect solution, only the right attitude – so simply do your best!

Technical interview

is our second date where we discuss the task, pick your brain around it, and learn how you approached the task and the challenges you might have encountered. Also, this is the right time and place to ask any unanswered questions we both might have, as we really want to make sure it feels like the best match on both ends.

Closing

is our favorite date, especially if it is a green light on both ends because we get to seal the deal with our offer, pop up the champagne, and send you the Welcome to Huddle email shortly afterward.
