Life @ Refined

Work environment
We work in small, cross-functional teams, and our routines are mostly based on agile and kanban, but teams have the freedom to shape what works best for them. Communication and feedback are central — prioritization and retrospectives keep us focused and evolving. Twice a year, the whole company gathers in person to connect and align.

Scandinavian working life
Balance drives performance. That means fika breaks or a game of darts in the office — but also the trust and flexibility to balance delivery with life outside work, whether that’s family, travel, or personal passions.

High change and complexity
We work in the Atlassian ecosystem, which is highly technical, complex, and constantly evolving. Change and iteration are part of daily life here. Thriving at Refined means embracing ambiguity, solving big problems, and adapting as the ecosystem grows and shifts.
