Steamclock

Building a studio we want to work at.

Our whole thing is great experiences. Obviously our apps need to provide excellent experiences, but the experience of our clients and our employees is also a core part of making great software.

When teams are supported, listened to, and motivated to keep iterating and improving, great things happen. So that’s what we do.

What's it like working at Steamclock?

Steamclock is a profitable and growing studio in Gastown that crafts excellent apps. Our focus is building great products and having fun doing it. We build products for ourselves - such as our DJ app that refuses to play Nickelback - as well as apps for startups and businesses around the world.
