React Job: QA-Software Developer In Test [Remote Work]

At Produce8, we think the future of work is digital despite the location, but the tools and processes used to operate it are still analog and in-person. Work needs a re-think, and we’re stepping in.

Produce8 is a digital work analytics platform that helps distributed and digital-first teams understand how they interact with their technology and each other. We’re laser-focused on the future of work and crafting a platform to enable it.

We’re deeply passionate about creating the best possible digital work experience for our people.
