About Tractive
Who is Tractive?
Tractive was founded in 2012 in Pasching, Austria, by a group of self-described 'paw-ssionate entrepreneurs' with a mission to keep the world's pets safe. The company makes GPS pet wearables for dogs and cats — combining LIVE GPS Tracking, Health Monitoring, Bark Monitoring, Virtual Fences, Danger Reports and Power Saving Zones — alongside the free Tractive app. Tractive has grown into a multi-award-winning consumer-tech company serving millions of pet owners worldwide.
Where will I work?
Tractive is headquartered at Poststrasse 4, 4061 Pasching, Upper Austria. The work model is hybrid: 'Enjoy the best of both worlds — work 1-2 days a week (depending on your team) in the office and the rest from home.' Current open positions include Senior Data Engineer (Linz), Influencer Marketing Manager, Influencer Relations Manager — US, Digital Analytics Manager — Web & App Tracking, and Paid Social Manager — Meta Platforms, all advertised as 'Full-time (4 days, 35h/week)' and based in Linz, Austria. Tractive provides relocation support to non-Austrian hires.
What is the Tractive team like?
The team has grown to 270+ team members representing 40+ nationalities, all working with what they call the #TrackPack ethos. Five published values guide the company: 'We put pet parents first, always' (do whatever it takes for pet owners and their furry friends), 'We keep it real' (honest conversation over the easy one), 'We make things happen' (every team member has space and trust to step up), 'We can do it' (focus on how, not why not), and 'We keep things efficient' (data-driven decisions, focus on what matters, use tools like AI to work smarter). The company is rated 4.7 on Kununu (90% recommendation, 4.8/5 culture, 4.8/5 diversity) and has multiple Glassdoor and award recognitions as a top employer.
Work-Life Balance
Tractive's headline benefit is its 4-day workweek at 35 hours/week with every Friday off (verbatim from every JD: 'Full-time (4 days, 35h/week)'), plus a hybrid 1-2 days in the office. Core hours are 9 am to 3 pm, giving employees substantial flexibility to structure their day. The schedule was introduced as a permanent change reflecting Tractive's commitment to family and personal time. The team is also pet-friendly — staff can bring their dogs to the Linz Dog Campus.
