Why to work at Uhura:

Uhura is derived from the Suhaeli word "Uhuruu”, which pretty much means "independence” or "freedom”. However, freedom also means to bear responsibility, not only for ourselves, but also for each other. This collaborative atmosphere allows us to achieve successes together as a team and also to celebrate it. We offer a beautiful office directly on the banks of the river Spree, in Berlin, training sessions, flexitime, an international team from 14 nations and occasional drinks after work and a motivating atmosphere. We love to design the company together and give people space to bring in their own ideas.
