In their own words

About the company & team

Factorial, the AI for Business, is known for transforming how companies manage HR and Finance through a single, intuitive platform. Now, we're taking things a step further. We're launching Factorial IT, and we are building the founding team that will take this product from 0 to €10M ARR

Our team operates like a startup inside Factorial: its own roadmap, its own go-to-market strategy, and a team expected to grow rapidly. We already have the technical backbone in place and +200 active customers proving the demand.

Factorial is the AI for Business that knows companies, connects how work happens across the business, and turns that context into action.

Founded in Barcelona in 2016, we now have +1,700 employees serving more than 16,000 companies across 112 countries.

Factorial started with a simple idea: companies were spending too much time managing processes and not enough time doing the work they were hired to do: their best work.

But as companies grow, work gets more disconnected. More people, more tools, more information, and more time spent connecting the dots. Generic AI can answer questions, but it doesn't know your company. Every time, you have to give it the context.

Factorial is different. Because it's inside the company, it already knows how it works, including its people, processes, policies, and data. So you can ask it to do real work, from screening candidates and managing expenses to answering questions and creating reports.

AI isn't the goal. Giving people back their time is.

When work changes, so do we.

Additional information

We believe in diverse talent: we welcome applicants from all backgrounds and strongly encourage people of diverse experiences and identities to apply.

We believe in inclusion: we are committed to equal opportunities and actively promote workplace inclusion of people with disabilities.
