Freelance Cooperation – What Does It Mean?

• Open-ended freelance agreement. An active sole proprietorship (B2B) is required throughout the duration of the agreement.
  
• Part-time engagement. Work up to 50% of full-time workload, depending on current project needs.
  
• Flexibility that fits your schedule. We’ll reach out whenever a suitable project opportunity comes up. If you’re available and interested, you can choose to join the project. If the timing isn’t right, you’re always free to decline without terminating the agreement.
  
• No need to worry about the equipment. Freelancers typically work using equipment provided by us. Depending on the project, you may receive access to a virtual machine instead.
