01Who we are

A profitable, remote-first team of ~100

We build the world's most loved productivity platform — bootstrapped, profitable since day one, and working from 40+ countries. Right now, we're unifying our products into one modular platform: Toggl.

Toggl The future

The new Toggl: a modular, time-data-powered platform combining tracking, planning, and insights.

Track Legacy flagship

Our original time tracker and revenue driver — its users are moving to the new, improved Toggl.

Plan Being integrated

Project and capacity planning, folding into the platform to bridge tracking and planning fluidly.

Work Becoming a module

Expense and time-off management, soon a module inside Toggl.

Why teams use Toggl: to plan work with confidence, track time without friction, and understand utilization and profitability with real data — not guesses. Curious how we got here? Read The Toggl Story ↗

03How we work

Results and freedom, in that order

Work when you want, where you want. We care about what ships, not when you clocked in. Here's how that works day to day.

04Is it a fit?

Freedom comes with fine print

Our culture works because the people here make it work. An honest look at both sides:

You'll probably thrive here if you…

  • Add to our culture, not just fit into it
  • Own outcomes, not just tasks
  • Follow through, and flag early when things change
  • Communicate early, clearly, and mostly in writing
  • Use AI to move faster, while still owning what you ship
  • Enjoy autonomy and can structure your own work

You might struggle here if you…

  • Prefer fitting in over adding your own perspective
  • Wait to be told exactly what to do
  • Go quiet when stuck or when priorities shift
  • Find written communication unnecessary or draining
  • Ship work you can't fully explain
  • Need close guidance to stay on track

We'll be upfront: remote work and flexibility are part of Toggl. But if that's the only reason you're interested, this may not be the right match — and that's okay.

05Hiring process

How hiring works, step by step

We look for two things: the right skills for the role, and Toggl's values. Steps vary by position and seniority — tap each step for details.

Our hiring is remote-first and async — on purpose.

Human interaction happens later in the process. Not because it matters less, but because our small Talent team is built to operate efficiently — it's how we guarantee every candidate a transparent and fair screening.
