Ready to turn a beloved dog app into a global movement?

Qpaws is looking for a bold, creative doer to lead growth, ignite community, and shape the brand from the inside out.

We’ve built something real, some call it the "Strava for dogs". We already have thousands of users, but now we’re gearing up for the next leap: scaling up, building culture, and creating momentum that lasts. This is your chance to join early and shape not just how we grow, but what we become.

You’ll help turn Qpaws from a loved tool into a category-defining platform — connecting people, dogs, training, health and joy, across borders and breeds. We’re looking for someone who wants to build with heart and guts. Someone who thinks community before vanity metrics, and progress before polish.


What you’ll actually do (and love):

You’ll play a pivotal role in a small, ambitious team bringing the Qpaws vision to life. You’ll be deep in it — testing, tweaking, talking to users, pulling data, running scrappy experiments, creating content, filling our channels, and launching things that actually move the needle.


You’re probably the one if you…

  • Know how to build and grow real communities (online, offline, wherever the dogs are).

  • Get how growth really works — organic, paid, partnerships, content, social — and can actually do it, not just talk about it.

  • Feel at home creating and posting content across platforms — you’re not afraid to get hands-on, fill up our channels, and engage daily with users.

  • Live and breathe social — and understand how to build brand and community from the inside out.

  • Geek out on retention, cohort analysis, growth loops, and scrappy GTM experiments.

  • Can juggle CRM flows one day, pitch collabs the next, and still have time to dive into app metrics.

  • Have solid hands-on chops with Meta/Google Ads, SEO/ASO, and analytics.

  • Like dogs. (You don’t need to be a pro — but loving the four-legged life definitely helps.)

(You don’t tick every box? Who does. What matters is that you’re curious, and have the drive to learn and figure it out along the way.)


Why join us:

  • Help shape the future of a great product already over the first hurdles, but with huge potential

  • Build growth from scratch — no politics, no red tape, just real work that matters.

  • Work with a small, sharp, driven team that actually cares about what we’re building.

  • Be a true early hire with real influence over brand, growth, product — everything.

Qpaws – Dog Activity App

Qpaws is a cutting-edge digital platform transforming how dog owners manage and enhance their pets' well-being. Our startup is solving several critical challenges dog owners face, especially in today's fast-paced world where dogs often struggle with insufficient exercise, poor nutrition, and irregular health monitoring. The problem is more urgent than ever, with studies indicating that over 70% of dogs are overweight, leading to a wide range of health issues that affect their quality of life. Qpaws started by focusing on the highly demanding dog sport of mushing, where monitoring dogs' activity and health is crucial. However, we quickly realized that the problems we were solving for mushers—like optimizing training, tracking feeding, and improving overall dog care—are problems all dog owners face. Whether it's the daily walker, the outdoor enthusiast, or the professional trainer, every dog owner wants to provide the best for their furry companions. This realization led us to expand the app's features to appeal to all dog owners, creating a more inclusive platform that anyone can use, regardless of their activity level or how many dogs they care for. We solve a wide range of dog care challenges through smart, intuitive technology. At its core, Qpaws tracks activity, ensuring that dogs get enough exercise to maintain a healthy lifestyle. But it doesn't stop there. We also provide tools for health monitoring—keeping track of vaccinations, vet visits, and other medical needs. On top of that, the app offers personalized nutrition advice, guiding owners on the best diet for their dog based on breed, age, and activity levels. One of the unique aspects of Qpaws is its open approach to hardware integration. Most dog tech platforms are closed ecosystems, requiring expensive, specialized devices that limit their accessibility. Qpaws flips the script by being hardware-agnostic. You can use it with any wearable you choose, or none at all, making it an affordable and scalable solution that meets the needs of dog owners around the world. This accessibility, combined with the app's social networking features, allows dog owners to connect with a global community, sharing tips, experiences, and inspiration, making dog care more enjoyable and rewarding. As the global pet tech industry booms, Qpaws is perfectly positioned to grow rapidly. We already have a solid user base of over 14,000 active members and 32,000 dogs tracked on the platform. But this is just the beginning. Our goal is to transition from a niche product for extreme sports enthusiasts to a widely used app for all dog owners. With 350 million dog owners worldwide, the total addressable market is vast. We're gearing up for international expansion, with a particular focus on the UK and US markets, where pet ownership and interest for pet care are at all-time highs. In summary, Qpaws is not just an app for tracking your dog's walks—it's a comprehensive tool designed to improve every aspect of dog care. From exercise and nutrition to health monitoring and community engagement, Qpaws addresses the key challenges dog owners face today and provides innovative solutions to ensure their dogs live longer, healthier, and happier lives. With our vision, technology, and market potential, Qpaws is poised to lead the digital transformation in the pet care industry globally. Are you a developer and want to be part of our exciting journey, get in touch at sigmund@qpaws.com Your passion for dogs is optional—your passion for building world-class software is what truly matters.
