About Napper

Napper is a fast-growing startup building AI-powered digital experiences to improve child sleep and strengthen the bond between parent and child. The Napper app has been used by more than one million parents around the world and has more than 20,000 five-star reviews. The app is frequently featured on the App Store as an Editors’ Choice app, and has been App of the Day in most European countries.

Our vision is ambitious; crafting and launching AAA-products that serve as essential digital partners for parents in their everyday life. Leveraging the latest technology combined with emphatic, human-centered design, we are scaling to become a household name for all families, everywhere. Our mission is to make sure each parent goes to bed at night feeling like the best parent in the world.

We are backed by some of Sweden’s most prominent angel investors and two international top-tier VC firms. That being said, we are also cash flow positive.

How we work

We are a tight group of talented (arguably), fun (subjectively) and creative (definitively) people pushing the boundaries of product and business development. We are ambitious, but more importantly curious. We ask questions. We try things. We ideate and iterate. And sometimes, we even argue. Because we feel for the things we build.

But most of all, we support each other. We laugh a lot. And we strive to make sure every person is really looking forward to coming into the office, every day. However, we also value freedom highly, and will cater to your needs whenever you need work to be flexible.

You love working with data and machine learning, and find joy in creating outstanding user experiences.

Our philosophy is to hire selectively and invest heavily in the people who work with us. If you become one of us - we’ll go above and beyond to make sure you find your work meaningful, inspiring, and stimulating, and feel fully supported by both your peers and superiors.
