As a digital-first media company with a global reach and a mindset to match, technology is obviously an integral part of our success story. We’re excited by the potential publishing has in the digital age. Every day we challenge what it means to be a digital publisher, exploring innovative storytelling concepts and formats for the web.

How we work: Our Tech/Product organization consists of interdisciplinary and self-organized teams. Scrum and Kanban are our methods of choice for transparent and open product management. Every team is continuously delivering software and is closely collaborating with their stakeholders. We organize regular product demos to share our progress, and Hack days to innovate our products. For a transparent and well balanced work culture, the entire department shares their feedback with each other in a bi-weekly retrospective to celebrate successes and to improve methods. We serve both internal and external users and believe in high standards when building our products. To ensure quality, we apply code reviews, extreme programming practices and test coverage tracking.
