Why Join Us
At Connecting Software, you’re not just taking a job – you’re joining a friendly, international team that genuinely enjoys building things together.
International environment, human size
We’re a global company with colleagues and customers in different countries, but we keep a flat structure and short decision lines. You’ll work closely with management (including the CFO) and other teams, not hidden behind layers of hierarchy.
Friendly and Flexible
This role is mainly office-based, so you can be close to the team. We believe this makes collaboration, learning, and decision-making faster and more effective. At the same time, we understand life happens, so occasional work from home is possible when needed and agreed in advance.
Stable company, longterm mindset
We’ve been in the market for many years, with our own solutions and a base of recurring customers. We invest in longterm relationships – with clients and with our people.
Team spirit and respect
We value openness, honesty, and mutual respect. We work together, celebrate wins together, and support each other when things get busy. Your voice matters here.
Company gatherings & team spirit
Several times a year, we bring people together for company gatherings and team events. These are moments to connect in person, share ideas, align on our vision, and simply enjoy spending time together. They help us strengthen trust, collaboration, and a real sense of belonging across countries and departments.
Learning and growth
You’ll be exposed to international accounting topics, IT/tech business models, and modern tools. We encourage continuous learning, knowledge sharing, and taking on new responsibilities as you grow.
