Job Description

What we're about

We're Huler. A team of creative, problem-solving doers on a mission to bring simplicity back to the working day.

We're not suits. We're people who build smart, human-first tech that makes work feel calmer. We're hell bent on drowning out the noise, ditching the enterprise fluff, and helping teams do their best work; without the headache.

Clarity over complexity is our MO. And that shows in how we work, too. No egos. Just sharp minds, straight talk, and work we're proud of.

What we're building

Huler is a Smart Intranet designed to bring the smartphone experience to the digital workplace. While most 'modern' intranets claim to cut through the noise, Huler drowns it out. It pulls everything people need - tools, content, updates - into one beautiful, personal hub.

No endless features. No clutter. Just a seamless, intuitive platform that actually works, and looks damn good doing it.
