About Famly:

You’re probably wondering at this stage, and Famly is...? It all began when our co-founder Henrik’s daughter was ready to start at daycare. He couldn’t believe the amount of work being done on paper - and how distant he felt from his first child during the day. The paper ‘parent’ books they exchanged once a month just weren’t cutting it. Together with his friend, our co-founder and CEO, Anders, they set about solving that.

Today, Famly is a 170+ person global company, improving the lives of children through our Early Childhood Platform. We support over 7,000 childcare centers and 1M+ users worldwide, saving them time and reducing their admin stress, allowing them much more time to focus on what matters the most. The children.

Famly is committed to creating a more diverse, equal, and inclusive workforce, building teams that represent a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences. It is a fundamental policy at Famly not to discriminate on any basis, or characteristics and celebrate diversity. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to apply.
