Our product and technology team is looking for their next DevOps Manager. You'll help us build our smart CPQ tool for a wide variety of industries where your team work will empower manufacturers to get their customers customized products - faster. Tacton's SaaS product empowers businesses to Configure, Price, and Quote (CPQ) their products in minutes instead of weeks or even months.
