Shape living for the better. At globe scale
For us
going to work every day has an even greater purpose than putting the latest
product or technology on the market. It’s about improving the everyday lives of
millions. By staying humble and open to new ideas we can push the boundaries of
cooking, cleaning, and wellbeing at home. But to keep doing so, we need more
people who want to innovate and re-imagine what life at home can be.
Your Role
In this design role
you will be part of the team responsible for defining and crafting an overall Connected

the end-to-end user experience.
