  2. Reviewing your application

    You will receive a confirmation of receipt after you have uploaded your documents to our online application portal. Please understand that it takes some time to review the documents.

We'll meet as equals: In addition to a representative from the respective department, the interview will also be attended by a member of our People & Culture team.

  4. Get-to-know day

    If we feel you're a great fit for the Shopware team, we'll arrange a time for you to join us for a meet and greet, where you'll gather a more personal idea of our daily work life. At the end of the day, we will clarify any open questions and let you know when you can hear from us next.

  5. Job offer & the start of your career with Shopware

    If we have both enjoyed the meet and greet, we will agree on contract details and sign your employment contract together.
