What matters most to our team
There has never been a case where a client was not satisfied with our job and transferred the project to another contractor. But the companies often choose to continue their projects in-house. For this purpose, we provide for the code alienability in advance so that the code is easy to understand and maintain for an in-house team.
Vladimir Makeev
Director
We don’t just do projects; we partner with product owners and are entrusted with tasks critical for their businesses. We appreciate honesty; we tell the truth, no matter how bitter it is. And since our clients stay with us for so long, we must be doing things right.
Nikita Prischep
Head of Project Management
Working for Surf is cool: our teams are extremely competent and every project challenges you to find a game-changing solution. And yet we clearly see the difference between a gamechanger and hype and only use technologies that could benefit a product.
Dmitry Vysotsky
Head of Native Development
