React Job: Front End Developer [Hybrid 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.

As a venture-backed startup launched out of Top Down Ventures, we’re building a new category of software to help teams collaborate more deeply, communicate more efficiently and work more productively together in the modern work environment. 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. Our company culture supports flexible work hours, finding new ways to reduce digital distractions so our team members can have more calm and focused time in their days, and we’re currently piloting a four-day workweek.

If you’re looking to continue building your career in SaaS, this is an opportunity to join a team dedicated to building a company and a culture you’ll want to stay with for years to come.
