Month: January 2017

January has been a great month at Zeitspace.

As I wrote previously, our very first co-op student joined us this month. And we’re well underway with our first project, an iOS app for a local company. This morning is our weekly demo and planning session for that project, which is always something that I look forward to.

We have plenty of other interesting opportunities lining up, too. We’re now at a point where it’s time to hire our first full-time software engineer. To that end, we’ve posted a position in some of the usual places, including Waterloo Tech Jobs.

Our stated business at Zeitspace is designing and building great software products for our clients. But we’re also designing and building a great company, one where we all learn and grow as individuals and as a team. We want an environment where exploration, discovery, and craft are important for our project work, but also for our individual and company progress.

We hope you’ll consider joining us!

Our first week in the office went well, coinciding as it did with the arrival of our first co-op student, Dylan. He spent his week prepping for our first client project; that involved reviewing a few tutorials, setting up a development environment, and learning about user story mapping. He also added a contact form to our updated website. Not a bad four days! We kick off the the project this week.

Today marks an auspicious milestone at Zeitspace. It’s day one in our office at Distillery Labs, which is in a historic old factory building on King Street South in Waterloo, formerly the long-time home to Brick Brewing Co. The office is more than a little spartan right now, but that’s not a problem at all. We’ll make it more special in the coming weeks and months. More importantly, it gives us a place to work on our first projects. Exciting stuff.
