Life inside DECODE
Not startup energy, not corporate inertia. We’re 90+ people building complex software well, without pretending it’s easy.
Clients we work with
Tech teams looking for expert engineers
You’ll work with in-house teams that know what they need but don’t have the bandwidth. You’ll solve complex problems with clear ownership of what you build.
Established businesses looking to modernize
You’ll work on software tied to how a business actually runs. Legacy complexity, high stakes, and the kind of problems that take real engineering chops to solve.
Trusted by great companies
Our weekly workflow
- Daily/weekly client syncs. Short, focused, always with a point: what’s moving, what’s blocked, what’s next.
- Hybrid setup. Everyone gets remote days. The more senior you are, the more flexibility you have. PMs and team leads spend more time in the office. It comes with the territory.
- Regular client demos. Every team member gets a seat at the table. Real feedback, straight from the client, every two weeks.
- Tech talks. Teams at DECODE run their own, and every two weeks the whole company gets together for the Tech & Product All Hands. Someone always has something to share.
What we stand for
Product-minded
You’ll know why you’re building what you’re building. Our teams dig into the business context first, so every solution we build actually solves the problem.
1 Project — 1 Team
One team, one codebase, full focus. No being pulled onto something else mid-sprint or catching up on context you missed while you were elsewhere.
AI driven
Agentic development is part of how we actually work, supervised by senior engineers who know the tools inside out. You’ll be working with AI tools that have earned their place in our process.
Built on sharing knowledge
Tech & Product All Hands
Every two weeks we share experiments, breakthroughs, the hottest news in tech, and the occasional fails.
Educational budget
Your personal growth fund. From day one, you get your own budget to spend on courses, certifications, books, or that conference you’ve been eyeing.
Meetups
We host them, we attend them. Either way, we love connecting with the wider tech community, swapping stories, and discussing the latest trends.
What keeps people here
The people, the culture, the team
Ask anyone at DECODE what keeps them here. You’ll hear the same three things every time: the people, the culture, and the team.
Not the perks. Not the office. Not the fact that we work with interesting clients.
It’s the people and the culture, every time. That’s what the data from our internal surveys says, year after year.
90+
experts working together to achieve great things.
14
years of hard work, always pushing for excellence.

This could be your team
These are the teammates who make Mondays worth showing up for.
- Easy-going – Problems? Not our style. We always focus on making things better.
- Ambitious – Everyone here wants to do good work. That rubs off on you pretty quickly.
- Caring – Ask anyone what our culture and atmosphere are like. It always comes up first when you ask about DECODE.
- Sport enthusiasts – Skiing, football, padel, running, ping pong, or just cheering from the sidelines; staying active is simply part of who we are.
Rewards
People genuinely like working here. Clear structure, a good culture, and a shelf of awards to prove we’re not the only ones who think so.
