JACKSONVILLE, FL – January 7, 2026
Valyr, a family-owned U.S. software development company focused on modernizing and scaling complex platforms, today announced the launch of a new Workamping membership portal and employer experience developed in partnership with Workamper News, the leading organization connecting RVers with short-term and seasonal employment opportunities nationwide.
The new platform builds on the strengths of Workamper News’ long-running systems while introducing a modern, scalable foundation designed to support evolving business models, improve member and employer experiences, and enable long-term growth.
“Our goal was to preserve and supercharge what worked in Workamper News’ existing system while delivering a modern platform built for performance, flexibility, and scale,” said Gabriel Albanes, CEO of Valyr. “The result is a maintainable, future-ready system that supports new workflows and gives their team room to continue improving over time.”
“At the heart of Workamper News is our community of members and employers who rely on us to show up for them,” said Jody Duquette, Executive Director at Workamper News. “For us, investing in technology isn’t about chasing trends. It’s about honoring the incredible Workamping community, staying relevant in an industry that hasn’t always kept pace technologically, and making sure our members and employer partners have the tools they need to succeed, wherever the road takes them.”
Valyr partnered closely with Workamper News to design and develop a centralized portal serving job seekers, employers, and administrators. Key capabilities include member profiles and applications, employer job posting and applicant management tools, administrative workflows, integrated notifications, and secure cloud-based infrastructure. The platform integrates with modern services including AWS, Cloudflare, and third-party CRM and email marketing tools.
As seasonal and contingent work continues to expand, Workamper News plays a critical role in connecting businesses with dependable, experienced workers. The new platform positions the organization to continue leading in this space with technology that supports both community and commerce.
