Why we’re hiring now

Valpas’ development started in 2016, first product was shipped around the Nordics in 2017, and a first mass produced batch is coming out later in 2018 and will be shipped to hotels worldwide. We’re expanding rapidly and have a tough time keeping up with all the ideas we could implement to make our clients’ lives easier. Along the way we’ve noticed just how big of an impact we’re able to have in our client’s hearts and minds - before Valpas there’s been no good solution for hitchhiking bed bugs. The dashboard our clients use is an essential part of our overall solution. Having the right talent to continue developing both the clients’ dashboard and the internal tools is necessary to take the next steps in our story.
