Our purpose-driven culture gives meaning to your work

Steve Jobs was right. Without a common purpose you can’t build great things.

His opinion is not an outlier either. As that over-quoted serial entrepreneur Elon Musk once said, “If you don’t believe in something, you won’t do it well.” This sentiment resonates deeply with our team at CobbleWeb. We believe that a purpose-driven culture is the cornerstone of building exceptional software products.

Imagine working on a project that isn’t just lines of code, but a catalyst for change. A project that empowers businesses, connects communities, and revolutionises the way we shop. At CobbleWeb, we’re passionate about creating advanced ecommerce platforms – in particular,  online marketplaces – that do just that. And we’re looking for software engineers who share our vision.

A Culture of Purpose

Studies have shown that companies with a strong sense of purpose outperform their competitors in terms of financial performance, employee satisfaction, and customer loyalty. By focusing on creating products that have a positive impact on the world, we’re not only fulfilling our mission but also driving business success.

Parking platform MobyPark takes the frustration out of finding parking space in congested cities like Amsterdam, while creating a welcome additional income stream for property owners. Nestify, a property management platform, uses technology to help freelance cleaners access more jobs and landlords to spend less time on administration. Carbon-credit platform, Switch2Zero, is helping to reduce the impact of climate change by incentivising sustainable practices.

CobbleWeb is proud to be the development partner of these highly successful groundbreaking startups. That’s the beauty of a marketplace project executed with purpose – everyone wins!

Purpose-Driven Teams: A Competitive Advantage

Our team is more than just a collection of talented individuals; we’re a community united by a shared purpose. Our engineers possess a deep understanding of how their work impacts end-users and the business. They’re not just writing code; they’re building solutions that matter.

For instance, when designing a new feature for an online marketplace, our engineers consider not only its technical feasibility but also its potential impact on user experience and business metrics. They’re able to justify their technical decisions with a clear understanding of how they contribute to the overall product’s success. This results-oriented mindset guides us to deliver exceptional outcomes.

Beyond the Inbox and Outbox

We’re not interested in a transactional approach to work. We want engineers who are passionate about being part of something bigger. A participative mindset is essential. We value individuals who are motivated by meaningful work and who want to contribute to shaping technical decisions and project outcomes.

That is why we invest time and energy into meetings and other forums where everyone can ask questions and share ideas about how we can better fulfil our purpose.

Meaningful Work: A Catalyst for Growth

When we say “meaningful work,” we’re talking about projects that have a positive impact on all stakeholders. Our goal is to create profitable and sustainable businesses for our clients, provide better choices for millions of buyers and sellers, and foster professional growth for our team.

Unlike many software development agencies that focus solely on technical performance, we encourage our engineers to explore the broader business implications of their work. This product-led mindset has proven to be a powerful catalyst for innovation, successful project outcomes, and job satisfaction

Are you a purpose-driven engineer looking for a home?

How do you know you are purpose driven? Well that’s an easy one to answer; you display ownership of and pride in your work. It’s not ‘the’ client, it’s ‘OUR’ client. It’s not ‘a’ solution, it’s ‘OUR’ solution. You love getting involved in the bigger picture and working together towards bigger and better outcomes.

How do you know the company you work for is purpose driven? That’s a trickier one to answer. Many companies compose mission statements filled with vague platitudes of the ‘make the world a better place’ variety.

We believe the proof is in the pudding. Does the company value your contributions? Does the company have its clients’ best interests at heart in the form of good advice, driving successful outcomes, and acting in a transparent manner? Does the company have a culture of constant improvement in everything it does? Feedback from our team shows that CobbleWeb ticks all those boxes.

If you’re a software engineer who is passionate about creating meaningful products and wants to be part of a dynamic, purpose-driven team, we invite you to join us. Together, we’ll build innovative ecommerce solutions that make a real difference in the world.
