I couldn’t be happier with the partner I found in Leapfrog. We’ve grown to a 40 person team that handles design, apps, data, analytics, and integration across multiple product lines. Leapfrog adapts our team to have the skills we need as soon as we need them.

The Leapfrog difference

Picking the right folks can be the difference between a dream team and a nightmare. Over the last dozen years, we've launched hundreds of rockstar teams. And we've spotted patterns – talent is key, but so is a natural curiosity, determination, and the knack for teamwork in ever-changing remote settings.

That's why we've geared our company to not just pick the right people, but to create a system and culture that consistently yields high-achieving teams.

  • People with the right stuff

    We hire less than 2% of people that apply. We are uncompromising on skills and smarts, but we also use small projects to assess their growth mindset, curiosity, and team accountability.

  • Trained on best practices

    We set high standards for the engineering techniques our people use, and train religiously to achieve them. From maintainable code, to unit testing, to CI/CD, to proper source control - we teach and enforce modern pragmatic programming.

  • Prepared to collaborate

    We’ve pinpointed successful methods of working in distributed teams, and distilled them into rigorous training for all team members. Our people come ready to engage and share effectively across zoom calls, standups, scrums, slack, source control, stories, emails, demos, and design reviews.

  • Immersed in innovation culture

    When the going gets tough, attitude matters. Our people self-select into Leapfrog because they want to build new things in new ways. They’re immersed and nurtured with tech talks, meetups, open source, and how to build startups.

The leapfrog difference

Beyond partnership. We become you

When Leapfroggers join your team, they identify as an extension of you. They get their own space in our dev center or come to work with you onsite (optionally). They rep your company, and wear your swag. They burn the midnight oil to deliver along side you time and again. 

And they’re not alone. Every team is supported by Leapfrog’s collective expertise - domain experts, architects, and specialized resources at the ready to make sure your team is  successful.
