ABOUT KETO SOFTWARE KETO means meadow in Finnish.
We like to think our company is an ideal place for people to learn and grow, and we are looking for those who want to take the next step in their career and join our innovative and open working environment.
Made in Finland for Humans, Keto Software provides strategic portfolio management with AI+.
Our customers manage all their OKRs, innovations, strategies, project portfolios, risks, resources and much more in one place (like gathering flowers from a meadow to make a bouquet).
Our no code platform gives us an advantage over much of the more traditional competition, which we believe gives us a huge opportunity that we now need more courageous people to help us realise.

Having now successfully closed Series A Round Funding, we are now recruiting suitable professionals looking for the opportunity to work for a growing business with best product in the category and big ambitions.
