⛔ Turn back if …

If you thrive only in well processed and resourceful environments, EPI is probably not for you. We are a solidly backed yet young start-up with high and innovative ambitions on a very complex, regulated and competitive market: you will need autonomy, be used to ambiguity, and not be afraid to get your hands dirty.

Otherwise apply!
