Could you be more specific about the Hybrid model you use?
Is it 1 day/week, 1 day/month?

Hey, in general, we allow teams to set their own schedule and decide which days are best to be
together. Some teams are in 2 days a week and some 5, this is up to you. I would not say that it is set in the stone, more of an individual case

I understand from this that the candidate would have to live in Denmark, as it is unlikely that a candidate in another country (doing almost full remote) would not fit the description, correct?

That depends, we can consider remote option for someone who has extensive experience in TDD and XP to be able to and to be comfortable leading a team in teaching and coaching extreme programming practices. We would asses whether is to the extend we require, during the interview process

Hi @Jo_hiring. Is this position still open?
