Here are the awesome people who work with us

Movie freak and biker, loves wandering in the forest by night with a headlight and compass. Professionally a Bamboo developer, in the past worked in corporations and in the garage - tasted both sweet success and bitter failure. Believes that there's good in people and that everything can be done. At work, he loves openness and challenges and hates suits, ties, and legacy code.

Java Developer who is a developer by choice and codes in Java by hand of fate. Focused on becoming a true professional by actively learning to be better at every craft-related activity. This might take him a while, since he believes that only bad developers think that they are good enough. It is Apple where he looks for inspiration for a level of quality a software product should have.

Wanted to be a knight in his young days - was a four-eyed boy with a book under his arm instead. Graduated in Kharkov, UA, and worked in different outsource companies in Ukraine, serving clients from USA, Switzerland, UK, and Australia.Knows how other companies can fuck their customers. Having in mind such experiences, now he can work with clients with respect to their needs and pains. Moved to Poland in September 2014 just to join smart people in their journey. Enjoys travelling in the company of two daughters and wife, and also likes riding a mountain bike.

Head of product marketing and sales at Spartez. I am powered by family and friends. Have worked on both development and business sides of B2B software products, and learned that there should be no "sides". I enjoy being immersed in the community of users, customers and partners, matching their goals and pains with know-how and tools. On a daily basis, I am working hand-in-hand with dev and support teams to build the best possible user experience from web search to product feedback.

Professionally a pixel-shifter fascinated with human-computer interaction. Privately a nomad and caffeine addicted dinosaur of the interwebz (Online since 1994™) that just tries to make the web a better place.

Started coding when he was in primary school. It was hard not to since his father’s library was full of computer science and mathematics books. Didn’t consider coding as a career path for a long time, decided to apply to computer science at the eleventh hour. Enjoyed working as a software dev but eventually entered the dark side - management. As part of Atlassian partnership heads Jira at Spartez. Tries to stay hands on as much as possible. Huge fan of board sports, including: skateboarding (too old for that stuff now), snowboarding, kite-surfing. Wastes too much time watching tv shows.

Traveled much around Poland to finally come back to the roots and settle down in "Tricity". Jogging maniac, bike addict, "Futurama" fan.

Started coding on Commodore 64, when its tape drive got broken and learning how to code was the only option. After graduating from Technical University and developing in Java for a few years, he realised he loves working with people in agile fashion, maybe even more than coding alone. Quality maniac, believing that the highest productivity comes from uncompromised quality. Don't be surprised to find him birdwatching in the wild or jumping at a dubstep party.

Developer extraordinaire, considers himself an expert in writing beautiful code. A few years of professional experience have thought him a thing or two about delivering robust software, but he would still rather say along with Socrates: scio me nescire. (You can't do that after Tarski, though, can you?) His favorite 18th-century philosopher is Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

Passioned about products and technologies changing people life to better. Strongly believes into collective decisions and compromise, but not afraid of making the decisions fast.

Prepare answers, he will ask them. Interested in Software Development, as it's considered a great source of issues. Not only issues with the software itself, but product ideas, development methodologies, techniques, processes and practices.
