Summary

What we do

SPAN is a technical strategy and software engineering firm. We conceptualize, develop, and deploy successful SaaS solutions.

For a decade, our team of polyglot software engineers, strategists, and program managers have been on the leading-edge of software development solving tough technical problems for both scaling start-ups and some of the world’s largest companies. We started SPAN as a services company but are ever-watchful for product opportunities we can build out to further meet the needs of a wider range of customers.

At SPAN, we love a challenge—where we get to be inventive and tenacious. Based in San Francisco, Guadalajara, and Cape Town, we’re a fast-paced, action-oriented team that thrives on collaboration. We weave design, development, and strategy together in iterative, interdisciplinary ways enabling our clients to overcome the complexity of accelerating technological change.

Why Work For Us

Advance your career, learn, and have fun by becoming part of our diverse but cohesive crew of computer engineering graduates, reformed punk rockers, self-taught coding connoisseurs, and data wranglers of all stripes. If you enjoy using the latest software tech to solve real-world problems, you’ll fit right in here!

Our Culture

What We Offer:

  • Learning organisation based on a reverence for expertise & craftsmanship (Meetups, Conferences, Lunch & Learning sessions, e-Learning, and more)
  • Hybrid-remote working model (the best of both worlds)
  • Flexible and generous work & leave schedule (as you would expect from a modern, enlightened company)
  • Wellness initiatives, charitable community initiatives, employee awards, and leadership training
  • MacBook Pro and home office allowance (aka all the tools you want and need to help you do your best work)

You’ll Love It Here If:

  • You're excited to work on leading-edge software projects for top Silicon Valley clients
  • You are allergic to hierarchical, bureaucratic, business-card cultures
  • You're sad that too many sharp minds are focused on tricking people into clicking on ads
