Hubstaff is a fast-growing startup in... the time tracking and project management space that fully embraces remote work. You work when and where you want. We care a lot about our culture, having fun while working hard, and promoting our annual retreats.

We have a small tight-knit engineering team. We pride ourselves on doing upfront design, so every project has wireframes, mockups, and a well-thought specification before we start writing any code.

We care about job security and provide a career path for years to come (we’ve run the company using positive cash flow from day one and are carefully growing the team and business). You can check out our real-time growth metrics here.

At Hubstaff, we work smart, not hard. Team members are not expected to work more than 40 hrs/wk. Work/life balance is very important to us and our culture. We also have #adventure and #hobbies channels on Slack where we routinely share what we’re up to outside of work.

Benefits of working for Hubstaff:

• 100% Remote work.
• 25 days of Annual Paid Time Off.
• Annual Equipment/ Technology Stipend.
• Maternity / Paternity Bonus.
• Annual Training Allowance.
• Remote Retreats.

We get the whole team together on our Annual Retreats to have fun while travelling and getting to know each other! While 2020 had us meeting virtually because of the pandemic, we met in Portugal (in 2019) and in Mexico (in 2018).
