The company was founded by Boaz Katz, Alon Alroy, and Eran Ben-Shushan, and has hundreds of Bizzaboers working around the globe.

Bizzabo is landing in Europe! We are excited to be opening a new Bizzabo office in Kyiv and we are looking for hiring the pioneering team to join and lead the way.

If you are passionate about building, shaping, and leading a brand new team in a brand new Bizzabo site- this is the chance to do so.

In Bizzabo we are passionate and curious about new technologies. Our server architecture is microservices-based, running on a Kubernetes cluster, written in Java and Kotlin, using MySQL, Elasticsearch, BigQuery, and Kafka as data sources, and we are using BI tools for advanced analytics.

Our front end is node.js, next.js, and React, and our mobile app is written in React Native.

As a Team Leader, you will lead a team of developers, collaborate with product managers, and be expected to be a technical focal point of the team. As any Bizzaboer, you will have a strong business and product understanding. You will work with other R&D teams and strategic business stakeholders to help shape and build the company’s future.
