Who we are

Every year, more than 80 million temperature loggers are used in the global cold chain. Each one is a small plastic device packed with electronics. And each one is basically used once before it’s thrown away. The industry has operated this way for decades. Not because it is the best solution but because nobody really built a better one.

Until we came along.

Tapp is a tech startup building a paper-based data logger powered by an ink energy source, using 90% less electronics than anything else on the market. No cables, no software, no useless hardware. We are replacing a category of hardware with something smarter, cleaner and radically simpler. And we are doing it from Leeuwarden, scaling globally.

Startup life here means real responsibility from day one, decisions made with the information available rather than waiting for perfect consensus and work that actually reaches the finish line. It also means the company you join today looks different from the company you work at in two years. We are growing and that pace is exciting!

How we work

We have a foosball table. But mostly we have this.

Ownership. You do not wait for instructions. You see what needs to happen and you pick it up. We explain the why, how you get there is your responsibility. If something goes wrong, you say so. If you know a better way, you say that too.

Courage. We are building something that did not exist before, in an industry used to the status quo. That requires people who dare to have an opinion, choose a direction, make mistakes and learn from them openly. Comfort is not the goal here.

Craftsmanship. We are proud of what we make and how we make it. Quality is not a department here, it is a mindset. Every single member of our team should understand our product inside and out. Only then can we innovate and provide the absolute best experience for our users.

Speed. You do not disrupt an industry at your own pace. We move fast, make decisions with the information we have and adjust when something is off. Speed without direction is chaos (and it’s just that sometimes!) but standing still is not an option.

Team. We are not a family. We are a team. Families love you regardless of performance. A good team wants the best lineup for the job at hand. We help each other, are honest with each other and celebrate what we build together.

If it fits, it’s f*cking fun.

We are not the right place for everyone and that is intentional. But if you are the right person, this is one of the best places you can be.

You will work on a product that does not exist anywhere else. You will see your work land in the real world, fast. You will be surrounded by people who are good at what they do and honest about what they don’t know. You will laugh. You will argue about the right solution and buy each other a drink afterwards. You will have days where everything clicks and days where nothing does, and the team will be there for both.

If you are looking for a steady job with clear boundaries and a predictable path, there are great companies that offer exactly that. We are not one of them. If you want to do work that matters, take real ownership and be part of a team that holds itself to a high standard: we would like to talk.
