Team and culture
The people we work with and the way we work are incredibly important to us. As a small, remote working team we value culture and process extremely highly.
After a fair few years working collaboratively around the country (and sometimes overseas), we’ve got some tools and processes we’re pretty fond of for ensuring our ability to work efficiently and productively. We use tools such as Slack, Jira and Gitlab to ensure that our whole team has visibility over our work and easy channels to communicate, and our daily standups and regular company retreats are important ways in which we connect as a team and have fun working together!
We’re also always on the lookout for new ways to improve and maintain our approaches, both collectively as a team and individually.

Transitioning from student to web developer at Springtimesoft
By bea, Jul 28, 2023
After having studied web development for two years, the time had come for me to complete a 10 week placement at a web development company as part of my final exam. I sent out numerous emails to web development companies all over New Zealand and was lucky enough to hear back from Perrin at Springtimesoft with an offer to carry out my final exam with them. This blog post will hopefully provide a glimpse into the challenges, little victories and lessons learned while taking the big step from student to web developer in the hope to encourage others into web and software development careers. -
Reflecting on 2020

Over the course of 2020 we heard, as you likely did too, the same phrases repeated (and probably said them a few times too). When can 2020 be over. These are unprecedented times. -

Working from Barcelona
By laura, Apr 6, 2018
At Springtimesoft we’re a remote working team – spread across New Zealand through Auckland, Wellington, Gisborne and beyond – but in Winter 2017 I decided to take things a little further. With a firmly entrenched love of travel, a desire to discover more of the world, and finding myself in the peak time of the remote worker, it felt almost inexcusable not to give it a go. I booked an Airbnb on the outskirts of Barcelona, a coworking space near the beach, a solid mobile data plan, and off I went. Little did I consider the 12 hour time difference and my fairly abysmal command of the Spanish language, but we’ll get to that.
