About MeritStory

At MeritStory, we design and develop high-quality custom software products for our clients across a wide range of industries.

We are a growing group of individuals who take pride in performing quality work. We see each project not only as an opportunity to apply our accumulated experience but also as a learning process. We constantly modify and improve our workflow based on feedback loops, aiming to develop software with fewer defects while keeping productivity high at a sustainable pace.

Position

As a Project Manager at MeritStory, you will be joining a cross-functional team of experienced individuals.

You will spend most of your time refining the project backlog, prioritizing team tasks on our client's project, and communicating with project stakeholders. However, since the process is an ever-changing one, you will also be welcome to participate in planning, workflow improvement, retrospection, research, and technical design activities.

Our typical project takes anywhere from 3 to 12 months, so you will have the opportunity to widen your knowledge by touching on a multitude of business problems while working alongside the same colleagues.

• Hands-on experience with the Agile/Scrum process applied to software development.
• Familiarity with UX principles and software testing concepts.
• Degree in a related software engineering / computer science field.

Do not hesitate to apply if you do not meet some of the requirements. We appreciate personal values and talent the most, while everything else can be learned.
