A bit of context

Lucca has been developing SaaS solutions to increase employee efficiency and engagement. We address the main administrative and HR management issues: time and activities, expense reports, personnel administration, annual reviews, and measuring well-being at work. Our solutions are used today by over one million users in all types of companies (from the chic hotel chain Accor to the surf brand Rip Curl) and particularly in those with strong growth developing internationally (Novo Nordisk, Nexthink, etc.). While we operate in the very serious field of management tools, our work is guided by the belief that a management software doesn't have to be grey, ugly, or boring. That is why we attach great importance to the design of our interfaces and the user experience.

Today, Lucca is accelerating its international expansion. With an established presence in Spain since 2022 and a growing team in Barcelona (34 people in January 2025, 48 in December), we're entering a new phase of our development that requires strengthening our local HR capabilities.
