Reference
Since 2022, this Ukrainian licensed IT company has been creating effective and reliable innovative services, specializing in the development of high-tech software solutions and platforms in B2B. In its work, SharksCode is guided by Western standards and international principles that allow creating a unique experience for consumers. The company is a resident of «Diya.City» and already has 280 specialists. They create software with a unique architecture for customers of the most complex IT solutions, including iGaming.
A place where ideas are born
In the magical comfort of Vozdvizhenka in the very center of the capital, the SharksCode team creates the best solutions for its customers. An atmospheric and creative office is a real place of strength, where each of the specialists can reveal their potential to the best of their abilities. The company says it was planned as a place where ideas are born. The open space combines a corporate style with elements of home comfort.
Branded signs, motivational and patriotic art elements border here with pots of flowers, and in cozy areas you can work at tables or sofas. There are also special desks for those who prefer to work standing, and office equipment is of the highest quality. There is always light and warmth here, even during blackouts, the generator works.
In the kitchen with goodies, you can always treat yourself to a coffee and a delicious meal. SharksCode managers took into account the tastes of not only the majority of employees, but also vegans and allergy sufferers.
And here they take care of the physical condition of the team — the office has a horizontal bar to relax the back after working at the computer, there is also a shower and everything necessary for hygiene.
A cozy terrace with a view of the city is a favorite place of local residents of Aitiv and creative people. By the way, employees have another important bonus — the ability to reserve parking spaces. Also, you can come to the office with four-legged friends.
Work without overtime for «thank you»
According to Olga Kiriyenko, Employer Brand Manager of SharksCode, the company offers specialists a hybrid schedule, and also believes in work-life balance as a key to employee success.

«Our main value is people. For many companies this is a myth, but not here. With us, you will not hear clichéd slogans like: «We are all one big family, so overtime for ``thank you.'' We appreciate the ideas and work of our colleagues, but even more — we value it. We support the professional development of each employee, and this is key,» she says.
According to Olga, the company’s specialists are united by a common goal: to create a quality product as a single team of professionals.
«Our latest survey showed that the satisfaction rate among all 280 specialists is 91%. This is a high result, but we do not rest on our laurels,» the specialist notes.
Employees are attracted by the flexible work schedule and cozy atmosphere in the office. «We have a kitchen equipped with everything you need: from a coffee machine with vegetable milk to fresh pastries from „Aunt Klara“. A play area with table tennis allows you to recharge, and our pet-friendly approach pleases those who come to work with their furries,» says HR SharksCode.
Another important plus is that the company provides all the necessary equipment for work and comprehensively supports its specialists. «We support employees not only at the workplace, but also outside it. Vacation, sick leave, days-off, health insurance are must-haves. Employees can undergo specialized individual and team training, attend conferences and corporate English classes. This is our investment in joint professional development,» explains Olga.
To support physical and mental health, specialists are also offered a visit to a training ground and a course in tactical medicine. This allows you to relieve stress and learn new skills.
