Hello! 👋

Factorial is hiring a Senior Software Engineer to help us build the next generation of internal IT tools for thousands of businesses worldwide.

You’ll join the newly formed IT Management domain, where we’re creating a platform to manage onboarding, permissions, support, and equipment, so new employees are productive from day one. If you’re excited about shaping a new product area, owning features end-to-end, and working in a people-first company with a strong engineering culture, this role is for you.

We're particularly interested in candidates with strong experience in Ruby on Rails for the backend. On the frontend, we're looking for solid skills in React, JavaScript, or TypeScript.

💻 About the IT Management Domain

Factorial is an all-in-one business management software designed to help managers of businesses overcome their daily challenges around People Operations, Talent Development, and Financial Management. Because managers are not just there to manage people, but to bring out the best in them.

Our vision is that Factorial must include a product that makes onboarding new employees a simple and streamlined process, from the point of view of equipment, permissions and accesses.

Our mission in the IT Management Domain is building this new product in Factorial, including multiples moving pieces (inventory management, support ticketing, MDM, IdP, integrated onboarding, etc.), so employees are productive as soon as they receive the equipment and complete the onboarding process.

The Engineering team at large

At Factorial, we have a team of +150 very talented fullstack developers. We look for smart people who are curious, proactive and have good soft/communication skills.

We are not looking for a long list of skills and technologies. Our stack is Ruby on Rails for the backend and React/React-native for the clients.

How We Work (Barcelona or Madrid Office)
At Factorial, we believe the best products are built when people come together, in person, to collaborate, challenge ideas, and move fast. That’s why our Product team follows an office-first, flexible approach (80%-20%)
We work on-site several days a week, using that time to connect, align, and innovate as a team. However, we also understand the importance of focus and flexibility, so we support remote work when it makes sense, whether for deep work, personal needs, or just a change of scenery.
This balance helps us stay agile, creative, and closely connected, while giving everyone the space to do their best work.
