About HappyCo
What is HappyCo?
HappyCo describes itself as a company that "builds mobile and cloud solutions to enable real-time property data", founded in 2011, with a flagship suite called Happy Property that its postings say has "more than 5 million units on its platform." Its software is for multifamily property management: "Our tools empower everyone in multifamily property management to improve their operations and maximize returns." The homepage now leads with maintenance operations and an AI platform, with after-hours support, work-order tracking and inspections. Its purpose, on the careers page, is "raising the quality of living – and transforming the lives of people living and working in residential communities for the better." The postings describe the team as "thinkers, talkers, planners, makers, builders and everything in between."
Where will I work?
HappyCo is built around remote work: the careers page says "As long as you have an internet connection, you choose the place you call home" and that the team spans "the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and beyond." Of the nine postings, most are remote in the US or Canada, and the Customer Experience Manager role in New York is "an in-office role, not a remote role" at a partner's New York City office. Two shift-based support roles, Call Handling Specialist and Virtual Maintenance Technician, are remote with "assigned shifts" and require "afternoons, nights, weekends, and holidays". The company holds retreats too: "Previous retreats include Bali, Mexico and Tahoe".
What is the HappyCo team like?
Five core values are published: Make Happiness, Better Together, Get Good Sht Done, Customer Obsessed and Kaizen. The "Get Good Sht Done" value reads "We have high standards and high agency, and we always take accountability", and the postings describe "a flexible, supportive culture" with "no egos or politics." The Product, Design & Engineering teams use "the Empowered Teams model". Sales postings describe a "Sales-forward culture" with "Leadership access", so expect targets alongside the flexibility.
Work-Life Balance
The careers page describes its vacation policy as "extremely generous paid time off", and several postings say "Unlimited vacation time". The AI-forward Customer Experience Manager, Level 2 Support, Regional Account Executive and general interest postings state "Unlimited vacation time" outright, while the Call Handling Specialist and Virtual Maintenance Technician postings (HappyCo "partners with TCW as your Employer of Record") say "paid vacation and sick time", so the policy depends on the role. Other leave includes a one-month, fully paid sabbatical at five years, "generous family/medical leave", and "15 days paid leave" for early pregnancy loss.
