Full Time

Product

Hi! I’m the CEO, and I’m looking for a CTO who can become my partner in building and scaling our products.

We already have strong products, millions of users, an amazing team, and ambitious plans for growth. Things are moving fast – sometimes messy, often exciting – and we need someone who enjoys building systems that can actually handle growth.

You’ll be close to decisions, close to the team, and very close to impact. No heavy corporate layers – just real work, real responsibility, and a lot of space to shape how things are built.

If this sounds like your kind of challenge, let’s talk 🙂

Spacers Reviews on Working in TS

I’ve been working at Trading Space as a Tech Product Manager, and honestly, it doesn’t feel like “just a job.” What I love most is that it’s not a company obsessed with processes, but a company that truly cares about people. The communication is amazing, the team is full of real experts, and everyone is so supportive and kind - total sweethearts!

Trading Space is a rare find where they understand that happy developers create better products. Here, they care about technological growth and personal comfort. You feel like a true professional. All of this creates an atmosphere of mutual respect and motivates you to do your best.

I’ve been working at the company - with some short breaks - since its very beginning. Over the years, I’ve witnessed incredible growth: the team has expanded, new products have been launched, and everyone has grown both professionally and personally. Most importantly, we’ve managed to preserve the warm and friendly atmosphere within the team.

There are companies where you just work, and there are companies where you live. And it's not hard work, not “oh God, it's Monday again,” but enjoyment, a cool atmosphere, and a team that's great to be with. I'm glad I 'm here!

I have been working at Trading Space for over 2 years, and looking back, I don’t regret a single minute spent in the company. At first, I was simply happy about the fully remote format, but I quickly realized that the company has an incredible number of advantages - from a friendly and supportive team, teambuilding events, courses, and lectures to constant bonuses for your contribution and sometimes just for being part of it. If you want to work, grow personally and professionally, and be part of something bigger than just a company for work experience, this is the perfect place.

Hiring Process

We aim to keep our hiring process straightforward and hassle-free - no need for endless steps to join the team. What you see is our standard process, but sometimes we may add one or two extra steps (if the role is crucial, we’ll want to ensure we’re the perfect fit for each other).
