Join one of our product teams and develop features with real value for a one-of-a-kind product management system used by 4000+ global companies.
When we started in 2014, our focus was on product managers in smaller teams who lacked a great product management tool. Today, we are the leading product management platform. We now help much larger companies with thousands of employees, and we deal with quite different needs and personas.
We're facing a huge architectural shift in terms of how we scale our product. To meet the growing demands of the enterprise market, we’re in an ongoing redesign of our systems. The aim is to make both the user experience and underlying system work at large scale — considering performance, flexibility and seamless access management
About the Role:
The Ecosystem team at Productboard is responsible for building Public APIs and key integrations with 3rd party tools and systems, empowering our customers to make informed product decisions by connecting their critical applications to Productboard.
As an engineer in this team, your job is to build and improve our APIs and Integrations. This is crucial for keeping us competitive and making sure our products meet our customers' needs. You'll do more than just code; you'll need to understand how your work helps our customers and influences our product direction.
You'll work with different functions, like product managers and designers, to bring your technical skills and understanding of product development together. This role is about making a real difference in how we build products and coming up with practical solutions that matter to our users.
This role is based in our Prague office with an office-centric hybrid schedule.
What You'll Achieve:
- Develop the Core Product: You'll have a significant hand in building and refining our user-facing product. Your work will directly impact our users as you ship your contributions to production regularly, ensuring the product's performance, scalability, and robustness. You’ll enjoy the freedom to direct your work and share ownership of the product.
- Develop Across the Entire Tech Stack: Craft robust backend systems using technologies like Ruby and Kotlin, and create intuitive frontends with React and Typescript. Your work will bridge server and client sides, making our product more efficient and user-friendly.
- Tackle Complex Challenges: Bring your creativity to resolve challenging technical issues and be involved in every phase of feature development – from concept to implementation and beyond.
- Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work alongside product managers, designers and other partners. Your collaborative efforts will be essential in delivering impactful results and engaging in the dynamic product development process.

- Pragmatic & Business-Oriented: Your focus is on balancing craft, speed, and business impact. You make informed decisions, choosing the right technology based on practical tradeoffs rather than chasing trends.
- Strategic Problem-Solver: You excel at breaking down complex problems into manageable solutions, considering both technical and business implications. Your ability to iterate swiftly on new ideas and adjust your approach with emerging information stands out.
- Familiar with Scaling Systems: You possess a thorough understanding of how different system components, from the user interface to the data model, work together. Your technical skills include working as part of a team to scale and optimize backend systems, adapting effectively to meet increasing user demands.
- Flexible with Technology: Adaptable in learning and using different technologies, you are not bound by any single tool or language. You value practicality and efficiency in your technological choices.
- Empathetic Communicator: You articulate complex technical ideas clearly, both in writing and verbally. In disagreements, you engage thoughtfully, respecting different viewpoints and finding compromise when necessary.
- Team Player: Collaborative by nature, you work effectively with cross-functional teams. Your commitment goes beyond personal achievement, focusing also on the growth and learning of your teammates.
- Focused on Delivery: You prioritize effectively, aligning your work with the team's objectives. You are skilled in managing time and resources, you meet deadlines and work within budgets, while adeptly adjusting to project changes as needed.
- User-Centric: You prioritize users, understanding the impact of your work on their lives. This awareness drives your project choices, recognizing the responsibility that comes with your role.
- Curious and Quick Learner: You are eager to take on new challenges, unphased by managing multiple projects. Your ability to rapidly learn and adapt is essential in our fast-paced environment.
