Our Culture

We have an entrepreneurial spirit that matches our Silicon Valley roots.

We work at the forefront of technology, helping clients build products and services the world has never seen. We work with the most demanding technology companies and thrive when presented with technical challenges that initially seem impossible.

Our culture reflects this desire for challenges. Our team is distributed and global. While team members span the globe and our work patterns follow the sun, our communication, transparency and frequent collaboration makes it feel like we’re all in the same room together.

Our team reflects a wide range of cultures, perspectives and personalities, all with the same entrepreneurial spirit. We pride ourselves on creating a culture where the only acceptable result is a happy client.

Hundreds of Cloud-Native Clients

SaaS products and platforms are our passion. Our clients are cloud native and therefore so are we. Our culture is modeled after our clients and our teams are tightly integrated with theirs. We become one and the same: start-up in mind, spirit and speed.

There are a lot of risks and peril with outsourcing a key part of our product. We did our due diligence and had very favorable recommendations to Lohika from other companies in the Andreessen Horowitz portfolio. We spun up a trial team that worked well and we've continued to grow ever since.


After working with Lohika for years, seeing that consistent and repeatable delivery is something that I've come to trust. Of all the things I worry about, the execution that's happening from Lohika is what I worry about the least.


We were able to double our engineering capacity in less than two months, which would have been impossible to do organically. Lohika was able to move super quickly and we got rocking and rolling.
