The commenter above might really enjoy talking to strangers, but it might be exhausting and require some alone time to recharge.
Separately, one-on-one conversations fit well with the "introvert" label, as opposed to socialising more in a group setting.
SPAN (est. 2013) is a software solution and product development firm headquartered in San Francisco, California with an engineering team operating from Cape Town, South Africa.
We strategize, workshop, design, and develop software solutions for clients ranging from startups to global brands.
We have a background in consultancy, so process is important to us; every project follows a core pipeline, tweaked to suit the specific project's needs. We run projects agile, but only after some up-front planning and iteration is done to get a good sense of scope. Any crunch is frowned upon, since it implies failure to adapt and adjust the scope of the project.
Tech stack is often client-dependent, but typically a mix of Python, Golang, Scala, Java, Node, React, Kubernetes and more.
Personal note: I came in as a less-experienced engineer, and have learned an incredible amount over the last three years. Mentorship is a large part of that, as well as moving between different services projects and naturally being exposed to different tech.
