Love what you do – we make employment happen!
We're launching an early-access product to validate new features with real users. This isn't about writing perfect code, it's about leveraging AI tools to orchestrate multi-agent systems, test ideas fast, and prove them with actual feedback. If you have solid engineering foundations, genuine curiosity, and the mentality of shipping over overthinking, we want to talk.
We are JobCloud, Switzerland nº 1 brand and experts in the job ads market, and we seek your expertise, ideas, and human skills to build our brand new software while cultivating our dearest value “Love what you do.” in our newly established company in Porto, Portugal - known as JobCloud HR Tech Unipessoal Ltd.
A decade ago JobCloud conceived a concept ahead of its time - a product designed to efficiently manage and optimize the usage of the customer’s hiring budget while identifying the optimal channels to maximize the visibility of job ads (AI/ML are key to optimizing this process) and effectively reach the target public (potential employees).
Today our mission is to revolutionize the industry standard shifting away from the current job ads paradigm of Pay per Duration toward Pay per Performance. What was once merely a concept is now on the cusp of becoming a reality!
