Job Description
Our story started from our bedrooms, solving our problem with snoring. Fast forward 5 years and we are the leading contact-free snoring solution on the market. We have brought our solution to tens of thousands of couples around the world, helping them live healthier, happier lives. In the process, we have built a fantastic team that takes pride in improving the lives of others.
Our product focus started with snoring and is now expanding further into sleep and wellness. With a growing customer base, we are advancing our technology, and diversifying our products and services. If you are ready for your next big challenge, this might be the place for you.
