Our Values
These values aren't wall decoration. They come from how we already work: as Nixpkgs maintainers, as Rust engineers, as an independent consultancy, and as Europeans who care about who controls the infrastructure we all depend on.
If they resonate with you, get in touch. We'd love to hear from you. You can also find us on LinkedIn and kununu.
What we stand for
Passion for the craft
With ❤️ for Rust 🦀, Nix ❄️ and open source 🌐. We do this work because we love it, and that enthusiasm shows up in the systems we build.
Secure and reproducible by design
Memory-safe languages, declarative infrastructure, reproducible builds. Security and reliability are built in from the start, not bolted on later.
Open source as default
Active contributors, not just consumers. We maintain Nixpkgs, publish our work, and give back to the commons we build on.
Digital sovereignty and privacy
European by choice: federated over walled gardens, privacy-first, no vendor lock-in. Made in Europe, operating worldwide.
Quality over speed
Fast is slow. Thoughtful planning, traceable architectures, and maintainable systems beat rushed shortcuts every time.
Honesty and authenticity
No buzzwords, no overselling. Transparent communication, realistic estimates, and architectures you can actually trace and understand.
Courage and agility
Independent and lean, we say what matters, from memory safety to tracking-free defaults, and adapt quickly without big-consultancy overhead.
Empowerment through mentorship
We leave teams stronger than we found them: structured knowledge transfer, hands-on training, and mentoring are part of every engagement.
Flexibility, wellbeing and diversity
Remote-first and worldwide, async-friendly, sustainable pace. An open ecosystem where small builders can ship, users move freely, and everyone is welcome.
How we live them
- We contribute back. Our founder has been a Nixpkgs contributor since 2019, a maintainer since 2020, and a committer since 2024, and we publish our own tooling as open source on GitHub. We are also a member of the Open Invention Network.
- We take sides on sovereignty and safety. We signed The European Social Stack declaration for a federated, interoperable, European-owned social ecosystem, and we support memory-safety incentives in EU cybersecurity policy. Read more on our blog.
- Don't take our word for it. See what clients say about working with us in the testimonials on our homepage.
