Careers

Working at
Sparky*

We are a deep-tech innovation company that lives at the intersection of AI, data science and real-world industry. We work on projects that connect institutions, universities, R&D institutes and companies in finance, media, health, cyber, space, agro and more.

We believe in trust, autonomy and hybrid work. You organise your own time, work from Split, Samobor, Lastovo or remotely and focus on outcomes, not on counting hours. Our culture is warm, supportive and demanding in the best possible way: we expect ownership, curiosity and clear communication, and in return you get room to grow as a real expert.

Growth,
benefits & balance

Sparky* is built for people who want to learn fast and build serious things. You get mentorship from our team, access to conferences, certifications and an internal mini-learning program, plus a Sparky library for any book you need. We back that with solid benefits: additional health and pension, extra benefits for holidays (Christmas, Easter), generous vacation including collective breaks in August and around the holidays, and the Sparky Recharge Day every quarter (one day fully offline, just for you).

We support your life outside work too: Membership for sport for wellbeing activities, family-friendly policies, support around childcare and school, and “back-to-work” programs after parental leave. Our goal is simple, to create an environment where top people in AI, data and engineering can stay healthy, motivated and proud of the impact they make.

Our mission

We are the bridge between science and industry. We bring state-of-the-art knowledge from research into industrial practice and we explore new industry trends with a scientific mindset.

Our vision

We aim to become a leading innovation hub in Croatia, a place where ideas that change markets are born and where every organisation we work with finds its own spark for deep-tech innovation.
