Driving people to maximize their output potential

Evolving the company’s employer branding strategy and optimizing the existing hiring process to support our growth targets

Participating in technical and business strategy development, transferring the company’s high level plans to the engineering teams

Involvement in basically every segment of the Engineering department at Productive

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU

Top of the market salary and a stock option grant in a fast-growing SaaS business

A well-organized and relaxed working environment

Motivated and friendly colleagues to work with

An interesting product to work on, full of technical and business challenges

Working at our Zagreb office, with hybrid remote work possibility
