Meet the team.
A senior, close-knit group of people who take pride in the work and in how we treat each other.
Nathan and Shaun are the most capable technical leaders I've worked with. They understand their customers: their businesses, their language, and what matters most to them. Sembit cares deeply about delivering the next right thing for its customers.
Sembit gives me challenging, varied work. We skip the corporate fluff and focus on delivering excellent code to clients we love working with.
The most important things to me are the culture, the flexibility and the cool atmosphere.
I like working with people that I respect personally as well as professionally.
It has been fascinating to get to work on software in so many different industries over the years. I also appreciate the flexibility within this job and the shared mindset that we work to live instead of living to work.
Sembit is right-sized. I appreciate that there is a team of intelligent people to collaborate with, but a lack of layers and bureaucracy allowing one's efforts to go directly to client success!
The team is really knowledgeable, and I get to use and learn new technologies on a regular basis.
Who we are.
We hire developers who make technology relevant to real businesses, not just write code.
