Careers at Virkla
We are building hiring infrastructure that makes recruiting fairer, faster, and more evidence-driven — for organisations across Europe and beyond. If you want to work on a product that has a direct, measurable impact on how people find work and how companies build teams, we would like to hear from you.
How we work
Virkla operates in small, cross-functional teams with genuine ownership over outcomes rather than tasks. Product, design, and engineering work closely together from problem definition through delivery. We ship in short cycles, test with real users, and make decisions based on evidence rather than assumption. Everyone on the team has context on why we are building what we are building.
- Cross-functional squads with end-to-end ownership of product areas
- Short iteration cycles with regular user feedback loops
- Evidence-driven decision-making — opinions are proposals, not conclusions
- Async-first communication with structured synchronous moments for alignment
- Remote-friendly with optional in-person collaboration for complex problems
What we value
We look for people who are genuinely curious about the problems they work on, honest about what they do not know, and rigorous about the quality of their own output. We value clear communication over charisma, careful thinking over fast opinions, and consistent execution over occasional brilliance. We also believe that building fair hiring software means practising fair hiring ourselves.
- Intellectual honesty: raise the problem, not just the solution
- Ownership: care about outcomes, not just deliverables
- Craft: take the quality of your work seriously regardless of audience size
- Directness: give real feedback, in the right context, to the right person
- Inclusion: we build for diverse hiring — we should reflect it too
What you can expect
We are an early-stage company, which means your work will have a visible impact quickly — and you will be expected to shape the direction of your area, not just execute a pre-defined roadmap. You will work with recruiters and HR teams directly, and you will see the connection between what you build and the outcomes it creates for real users.
- Direct access to users and customer feedback
- Responsibility for a meaningful product area from early in your tenure
- Transparent communication about company direction, challenges, and priorities
- Competitive compensation with equity participation
- Flexible working arrangements and a serious commitment to work-life balance
