Life inside DECODE
Not startup energy, not corporate inertia. 90+ people have built a place where complex software gets made well, and nobody pretends the work is simple.
Clients we work with
Product companies
Companies with a real product and a real roadmap. They know what they need to build next and they’re not doing it in legacy. Modern stack, fast release cycles, and decisions that ship in weeks, not quarters.
Enterprise clients
Years of software, layers of complexity, and an existing team mid-delivery. These clients aren’t starting from scratch. They’re expanding, modernizing, or tackling parts of the product their current team doesn’t have bandwidth for. We come in as a capable extension, not a replacement.
Trusted by great companies
Our weekly workflow
- Regular syncs with clients, daily or weekly depending on the project phase. Short, focused, always with a point: what’s moving, what’s blocked, what’s next.
- Hybrid setup – Some decisions just need the room. PMs and team leads lean toward the office for that reason. The rest is flexible.
- Every two weeks, a client demo pulls the whole team into a collective “does this actually work?” moment.
- Tech talks are on the calendar. Someone always has something to show.
What we stand for
Product-minded
The “why” isn’t rhetorical. Senior teams here go deep on the business context before they touch the solution.
1 Project — 1 Team
You’re not reassigned the moment a client escalates. Your team is in the same codebase you are, for the same duration. That’s what no context switching actually means.
AI driven
We use agentic development processes in production, not in a slide deck. You won’t be using AI because management read an article. You’ll be using it because it works.
Build on sharing knowledge
Tech&Product All Hands
Every two weeks we share experiments, breakthroughs, 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 love a good meetup. Whether we’re hosting or joining in, it’s all about connecting with the wider tech community, swapping stories, and picking up what’s new and exciting out there.
WHAT ACTUALLY RUNS THE PLACE
The people, the culture, the team
Every time we ask, the answer is the same: the people, the culture, the team. Not the perks. Not the office. Not the fact that we work with interesting clients.
The people and the culture. Every time.
No award tells you that. The questionnaires do.
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 focus on making things better.
- Ambitious – We are the people who set the bar high and then raise it again.
- Caring – The number one factor of satisfaction? Always atmosphere.
- Sport enthusiasts – Skiing, football, padel, running, ping pong, or just cheering from the sidelines; staying active is simply part of who we are.
Rewards
Turns out people really like working here. The mix of clear structure and a genuinely good culture makes a difference. The awards just picked up on it too.
