Team and culture
•
We value developer happiness! Justin, the CEO, is a lifelong passionate programmer. We believe that happy developers are the most productive. We’d love to unleash all of your creativity. We have a genuinely flexible schedule, and we listen to feedback. Plus, we have realistic deadlines that value quality design and code. We’re using ReScript (ReasonML) and Rust for some newer work as some of our developers love those two languages.
•
We’re excited, really excited, about our internal product HiChee.com! With the world opening up again to travel, our ability to analyze the data across the Internet has a huge potential to shape the future of how travelers book vacations. No other similar travel platform exists.
•
We value open source. Most ShakaCode’s clients came via open-source, especially React on Rails. These clients are often CTOs and founders that value quality code more than rushing.
•
We’re transparent internally. We all know what everyone’s working on, how’s the company doing, how many hours each person spent on each task, etc.
•
We’ve created a solid consulting track record over the past three years. Check out ShakaCode’s Recent Work page and our reviews. All of these listed projects are referencable, and most have continuing work for us.
•
We want to create products that genuinely help people. Our React on Rails and other open-source projects are widely used for more efficient software development. Our HiChee.com product analyzes the web for information to enable travelers to find the best deals.
•
We value competence! Engineering-focused companies hire ShakaCode to help their projects succeed. With every project, we also learn and share best practices with the community and our clients. If you like doing things the right way, ShakaCode fits your style.
•
We’re in control of our future. Without any outside investors and a stable source of consulting revenue, we’ve been free to experiment on different products.
•
Our regular weekly flow consists of a 30-minute team get-together at the beginning of the week. Then we have tasks, usually defined in Clubhouse. At the end of every week, team members fill out a short survey of how their week went, and then they meet for a 20 minute 1:1 with Justin, the CEO. We don’t do daily scrum standup meetings. Instead, at the start of each day, we use an online form to indicate our goals for the day.
