Diversity & inclusion
We know the tech industry has a diversity problem. Without proactively addressing this, we could easily end up hiring a lot of very similar people. So weโre enthusiastically encouraging applications from underrepresented groups in our industry. We hire with fairness and awarenessโand we mean it.
Whoever you may be: regardless of age, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, gender, religion, disability, background, or identity, weโd love to hear from you. If you need any adjustments during the interview process, let us know and weโll accommodate.
Oliva is a tight-knit, experienced, and passionate team of engineers, designers, marketers, and psychologists. Weโve all been through our own battles with burnout, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. And while weโve all had both positive and less positive experiences with mental healthcare, we know first-hand that talking through your problems makes a massive difference once you find the right person.
Who we are
Our co-founders, Javier Suarez and Sanรงar Sahin, have both experienced the emotional highs and lows of scaling successful tech startups and lived to tell the tale. Javier co-founded the business travel startup TravelPerkโwhich went on to serve thousands of businesses and employ hundreds of peopleโand previously led innovation at Booking.com. Sanรงar has led marketing teams at Typeform, Hotjar, and GetApp.
If youโve ever felt like you needed mental health support but had no idea where to start, youโre in good company. Our goal is to stop people feeling like that.
You will need to be based in EU or UK for the role but you can be based from home.
