Forget the job description for a second. The real question is: are you a Path Finder?

Bold enough to challenge what's possible. Collaborative enough to build it together. Driven enough to make it happen.

We don't just hire for roles, we hire for mindset. We look for people who communicate with honesty, collaborate without ego, embrace change with energy, and take real ownership of what they build.

We’re not looking for people who think the same, we’re looking for people who want to grow with us.

Here's what it actually looks like to belong here:

Be Kind — because respect, trust, and honest feedback make great teams stronger.

Go Beyond — because good is never enough when excellence is the standard.

Craft Together — because the best ideas don't happen in silos.

Enjoy the Journey — because growth lives outside the comfort zone.

Own It — because real impact starts with accountability.

If this feels like your kind of adventure, let's build something together.

At SAMY, difference is not something we accommodate, it’s what makes us stronger.

With a team made up of 70% women and more than 35 different nationalities, our different backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences challenge our thinking, sharpen our creativity, and push us to build better work, and a better company.

We are committed to creating an inclusive, accessible, and barrier-free environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and empowered to thrive. And if you need support or adjustments along the way, we’ll make sure you have what you need to do your best work.
