Thanks for posting this I sent an email. Hope you find the right candidate.

I noticed that on your website, this role is limited to 100% remote within the EU (or hybrid in Aachen or Freiburg), but this detail isn’t mentioned in this post.
It could be helpful to include that here as well, so people don’t get disappointed.
