Sofia is an international location of the German corporation, which is part of the SDAX (index for small and medium-sized companies) on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

The organizations in the Hypoport Group have focused on the mission to accelerate the digitalization process. They develop innovative B2B solutions for the credit and insurance sectors, as well as for the real estate sector. Hypoport is one of the market leaders in the FinTech industry in Germany – the company collaborates with more than 800 banks. The organization has a network of more than 30 companies with over 2,200 employees in Europe. The company’s headcount in Bulgaria is 55 people, who focus on the development of long-term products. Hypoport Sofia has an Agile mentality combined with the security of a German corporation. In 2021, Hypoport was recognized as an employer of choice in Germany for the third consecutive year.

Part of Hypoport Sofia’s efforts is focused on delivering opportunities for German companies in the Hypoport network to create an international development team, supporting the teams in setting up remote work.  “We call our approach “remote development done right” – establishing a high standard for software development, regardless of where the team members are and how long they have been with us. We have emphasized on the personal approach and personal attitude. And this is not just about the 30 days of paid annual leave, the days of training, the personal assistant that everyone can count on, or other details of our social package / benefits, like employee shares. We run our team like a family and we are always willing to help each other, no matter what”, says Danny Hanke, Managing Director, Hypoport Sofia.

According to a survey, nearly 85% of the employees confirm that the company has met their expectations, while for close to ¼ of the people – it has even exceeded them.

“We believe that happy employees are the key to developing high-quality products that customers love. Over the years, we have created a culture of mutual assistance and sharing of knowledge and skills – everyone is always willing to help. Thanks to our mentorship program, the onboarding of new colleagues is a pleasant experience. We attend conferences, offer trainings and access to online courses, and everyone is free to dedicate 10% of their time to self-improvement, ” says Janis Schäfer, Managing Director, Hypoport Sofia, who started as a working student at Hypoport six years ago.

Hypoport teams of subsidiaries FIO Systems and fundingport are currently operating under the company’s umbrella – Hypoport Sofia. Another one – Maklaro, is expected to join soon to enlarge Hypoport’s footprint in Sofia.

Hypoport Sofia employees have annual bonuses and other financial benefits after the accumulation of certain years of work experience within the Hypoport Group.
