Job description

Ready to get things built, own the backlog, and drive delivery with engineering?

About us:

We are Publitas! We’re a remote-first, fast-growing SaaS company helping brands turn static content into digital discovery experiences that drive results.

We’re not about busywork, hierarchy, or hand-holding. We hire sharp minds, trust them fully, and measure success by real results, not noise. If you thrive in autonomy, challenge, and high ownership, you’ll love it here.


This role is for you if you… 

  • Get energized by managing backlogs, grooming stories, and driving dev execution.

  • Love breaking down complex technical problems into structured, deliverable work.

  • Are fluent in working with engineers and enjoy getting into the details of APIs, integrations, architecture, and performance.

  • Thrive in a remote, async, fast-paced environment where clarity and speed matter.

  • Take pride in ensuring things get built right and shipped reliably.

  • Think in systems, prioritize ruthlessly, and never let ambiguity slow you down.


This role is NOT for you if you…

  • Prefer high-level strategy, customer interviews, and UX-heavy discovery work.

  • Don’t enjoy backlog refinement, writing acceptance criteria, or clarifying edge cases.

  • Need layers of process or someone to constantly tell you what to do.

  • Are waiting for permission instead of taking initiative.

Job requirements

The work you’ll do…

  • Backlog ownership: Maintain a prioritized, well-groomed backlog with clear user stories, technical requirements, and acceptance criteria.

  • Technical clarity: Translate business goals into concrete dev tasks, API specs, and integration requirements.

  • Agile delivery: Drive sprint planning, backlog refinement, stand-ups, and retrospectives with engineering.

  • Bridge gaps: Serve as the link between devs, QA, and other teams, removing blockers, clarifying requirements, and ensuring smooth execution.

  • Quality focus: Ensure what’s shipped meets requirements and works across edge cases, not just “done,” but done right.

  • Risk management: Identify dependencies, technical risks, and blockers early and work with devs to resolve them.

  • Continuous improvement: Suggest and implement better ways of working in backlog management, delivery, and technical documentation.

Who you are…

  • Delivery-first: Obsessed with execution, detail, and making sure things move forward.

  • Backlog pro: Skilled at writing crisp user stories, technical requirements, and acceptance tests.

  • Agile practitioner: Experienced in backlog grooming, sprint ceremonies, and iterative releases.

  • Technical communicator: You don’t code, but you understand engineering language and can discuss APIs, integrations, data flows, and architecture.

  • Independent operator: Comfortable working async and remote, driving progress without micromanagement.

  • Problem solver: You thrive in untangling complexity and making decisions fast.

  • Growth-minded: You’re direct, proactive, and eager to keep improving.

What We Provide to Help You Win…

  • Salary: €50,000–€70,000 per year (gross), depending on your experience level and location.

  • 25 vacation days + your local national holidays

  • A top-tier MacBook and remote-ready gear

  • Monthly wellness budget to invest in your health

  • Co-Working allowance

  • Events, training, or courses that directly and primarily contribute to your work at Publitas

  • Free books on Kindle and Audible

  • Free Publitas Swag (merchandise)

How to Apply…

We don’t ask for CVs or cover letters. Why? Because they rarely tell us who you are or what you’re truly great at.

Instead, we ask smart questions and give you a chance to show us what you’d bring to the role.

No fluff. Just real insight into what it’s like to work together.
