Human side of Development

We are Leapwise. Our dedication, building products from scratch, while prioritizing expertise, integrity, and authenticity.

We strive by

Building people and software

Good software is produced by well - managed and educated employees, whose progress we are continuously devoted to.

Thanks to our employees, we develop professional solutions while avoiding technical debt, adhering to modern development principles, and keeping in mind our most important KPIs: maintainability, scalability, performance, adaptability, and security.

Coding the future, one person at a time

Leapwise was founded in 2016 by two enthusiasts who embarked on their journey in the corporate world and gradually grew into a reliable tech partner for enterprises and startups.

Today, we’re building complex digital products from inception to deployment.

What we stand for?

True values, genuine culture

We build the company around our people. They are the heartbeat of our company and it’s reflected in our values.

People first

People first is a mindset. We take care of people by providing meaningful work, offering opportunities for professional advancement, and valuing work-life balance.

Authority

The cornerstone of every top-tier software is manifested through our adherence to clean code principles and profound domain knowledge. Our commitment is evident in regular code reviews and the certifications we hold.

Maintainability

We prevent technical debt by following a steadfast approach to software architecture, design patterns, and clean code.

Get it right the first time

Our methodical approach ensures that we think every detail through, sketching and planning comprehensively before execution. We foster a culture that cherishes professionalism and attention to details.

Go the extra mile

A strong dedication to our work pushes us to do more than required - and is always rewarding.

Trust & transparency

We like our projects well-structured and well-defined. We like our conversations honest and open. There's no place for ego when fostering meaningful relationships that boost creativity at work.

How we do it?

No good software was ever made without a great team of skilled people. Skills are taught and we make sure we give all possible resources.

People building

Personalized annual development plans are defined, outlining a person’s professional and career goals with an action plan to get there.

Emphasize the polyvalent

We foster a culture of versatile interests, and we encourage language courses, soft skills training, write blogs and share our knowledge with the community.

Professional certifications

We empower our team with Expert Learning Paths, professional certifications, offer a vast internal library, and access to the world’s premier conferences.

Quality over quantity

Our approach means each team member dedicates themselves to a single project, fostering deeper understanding and progression. It’s always best to stay focused on a task at hand.

Gaining & sharing knowledge

Knowledge is our greatest power, sharing it is our greatest value. Weekly code reviews nurture collaboration, while specialized trainings like Growth Tribe, Java Champion and JNation enhance our collective knowledge.

Loyal relationships

Our best efforts are dedicated to establishing loyal relationships with our employees and building long-lasting client alliances. In the world of software, our real strength lies in our capacity to share, grow, and push boundaries together.

A dedication to teamwork

We support each other daily, always playing as one team. Our more experienced team members help younger colleagues expand their skills and experiences through mentorship program.

Attention to details

We think through every detail, sketching and planning before execution. We foster a culture that cherishes professionalism and attention to detail.

Genuine one-on-ones

Honesty helps us to act as coaches and assist in employee development. Open dialogue allows for a better sense of employee performance and areas of improvement.
