Job title:

Senior Software Engineer

About us

We are Huppa. We are an innovative operating system for class-based gyms and studios in Europe, we help gym and studio owners to run their businesses more efficiently and effectively. From integrated lead generation and member acquisition to member management, payment collection, workforce management, multi-location management and a customer data platform to give sports entrepreneurs exactly what they need to grow.

We’ve secured sufficient funding from renowned known investors and are ready to stir things up!

About the role

We believe great software is built by engineers who deeply understand the problems they’re solving.

Rather than handing engineers detailed specifications and predefined solutions, we start with customer problems. Engineers collaborate with founders, product, and design to understand the challenge, evaluate trade-offs, and determine the best solution.

We move quickly, but we don’t confuse speed with recklessness. We believe in finding the right balance between shipping valuable improvements today and building systems that can support the company years from now.

We also value focus. We keep processes lightweight, avoid unnecessary meetings, and encourage written communication whenever possible. Our goal is to maximize time spent building, learning, and solving problems.

You’ll be trusted to make decisions, challenge assumptions, propose improvements, and drive projects from idea to production. We value engineers who think like product builders and who care about delivering meaningful outcomes for customers.

What You’ll Build

Huppa sits at the intersection of scheduling, payments, memberships, customer management, mobile application, automation, and AI.

Some examples of the challenges we’re working on include:

• Building flexible membership and booking systems that support a wide variety of gym business models without requiring custom development.
• Designing integrations with partners such as Urban Sports Club and ClassPass while maintaining a consistent experience for gyms and members.
• Creating AI-powered workflows that automate repetitive administrative tasks and help gym staff operate more efficiently.
• Building mobile applications that improve engagement, retention, and communication between gyms and their members.
• Scaling a multi-tenant platform that supports many organizations with different operational requirements while maintaining a clean and maintainable architecture.
• Improving performance, reliability, and developer experience across the entire platform.

No two projects are exactly the same, and you’ll frequently move between product, architecture, infrastructure, and user experience challenges.
