How to use this

If you're applying: Start with Paris, which holds 20 of 38 open roles, and check the Production Engineering and R&D postings against listed requirements such as Go, Kubernetes and Terraform. Dutch and German fluency are listed requirements where they appear. Italian is required for the Italian-speaking engineering roles but only a bonus for the Customer Success Manager roles.

If you're selling or recruiting: Direct Sales is the largest group with 9 open roles: 6 require Dutch (London, Paris, Netherlands) and 3 are DACH commercial AE roles. Two Dutch-speaking BDR roles add to the Dutch push. Partners & Alliances has 4 partner manager roles covering APAC and DACH, and their requirements list 'agentic AI' and 'co-selling', so partner-led agentic solutions are a reasonable topic.
