About us

Juriba is the leading software provider for large scale IT transformation and Evergreen IT management. We are a forward-thinking, creative ISV with a passion for bringing harmony to the chaotic world of data and business process. You will be part of an ambitious company and a friendly team working on our flagship product, Dashworks - a product unlike anything else on the market. Our clients are large companies (many Fortune 500) with lots of data about their Desktop environment, but very little information. Dashworks helps them make sense of it all, and get their transformation projects flying.

Our people are our biggest asset

As a privately owned company, we have an approachable and engaged leadership. We are small enough to operate as a close-knit team, with an open, inclusive, and unpolitical atmosphere. Yet big enough to offer multiple career paths, a diverse work environment, and the opportunity to make a difference.

Juriba's success is based on our agile and growth-driven mindset, our focus on innovation and continuous improvement, as well as our encouraging and supportive environment. We take a lot of pride in Dashworks and have plenty of great ideas to make it even better; we need you to help us make these happen.
