Would you like to spend your time at work speaking to US and Western European clients, but also our Developers, Testers and the Management, learn about latest trends, tools and best practices, sometimes travel to meet clients?

Join our team - work with the best and most ambitious Ecommerce professionals around the world from our Warsaw office.

Spark Solutions is a software house which works mostly for US clients - ranging from startups to large Fortune 500 corporations. Because of years of our own Ecommerce startup experience and thousands of hours spent developing Ecomm solutions for US clients, our team is in a unique position to architect, design, deliver and maintain world-class solutions boosting our clients' businesses.

But we need you to forge relationships, explore requirements, negotiate scope, estimate timelines, plan and execute, communicate and investigate, finally... celebrate, reward and promote.
It's an opportunity for the most passionate, determined and hard working PMs.
