Why Work For Us

We’re looking for people who share our commitment to excellence, are ready to roll in chaos and calm, and know that creating exceptional work requires a team effort. If this sounds like your idea of a great work environment, we’d really appreciate it if you applied to join us.

Our Culture

Think THINK. A catalyst makes change happen. We think deeply about the challenges our clients ask us to solve, probing the variables creating difficulties, and the elements that can be manipulated to create better results. We figure stuff out. We are restless when it comes to applying new paradigms to how we approach our work. We are confident in who we are and what we do.

Create CREATE. We are creatives. UI and code are our mediums. We act boldly to overcome barriers, and put aside egos to embrace learning when new evidence suggests a better way to do something. Evolution requires experimentation. The boundaries of technology are our inspiration for creativity; there to build around, through or over. We create with purpose, putting our creativity to work and delivering beyond expectations.

Be BE. Catalyst is a group of people navigating life AND work, together. We choose to be real and always advocate for authenticity with each other and our clients. We embrace a culture which combines calm and crazy because that’s what life is like.

Our Engineering Processes

Design DESIGN A great application starts with visually appealing and intuitive interfaces. We collaborate with you using tools like Figma to wireframe, prototype and create designs to ensure that your customers experience the best. We balance form and function, creating applications with fantastic aesthetics and flawless UI without compromising on utility to provide the best possible experience for the user.

Development DEVELOPMENT Development is our passion and we firmly believe in using the right technology for the job. We specialize in building native iOS and Android apps in Kotlin and Swift as well as core business Web applications that integrate with any types of backends. We supplement this core competency with other technologies like React Native and React if the project calls for it. A great application is nothing without a performant backend and we are able to create custom backends using technologies like Go, Node.js, Php and other leading technology stacks.

Lifecycle Management LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT It goes without saying that all our development and design is supported by a thorough testing and project management team to ensure that products delivered are at the highest level of quality and we provide full transparency into our process. After the go live of a product, the fun begins and we offer ongoing app enhancement and support services as well as input into your Digital Strategy and product management.
