As a leading international provider of online shop software, ePages is offering attractive positions across our various offices.

The collaboration across locations is of course something natural for us – as well as international career opportunities with ePages.

What should a candidate bring in the ideal case to be suitable for you?

In addition to professional competence, it depends on their passion for e-commerce and software. If you want to make your way with ePages, you will also need very good communication skills.
