Last year was a whirlwind. Working together on a product that users love was a challenge and an inspiration that kept us pushing on.

We’re most proud of SuperSocial, our interactive social playground in the Superbet App, where users connect, comment, and share their tickets. Its growth has been off the charts.

Let’s dive into the data then, shall we?

We like our developers wielding their talents full-time, not having them running from meeting to meeting and juggling multiple projects at the same time.

If this sounds like your cup of tea, we're looking for talented Kotlin Multiplatform and JavaScript devs.

In 2022 we grew considerably, both in terms of new people and our product. So did our rocket fuel consumption.

And this is the breakdown. 👇

In 2022, we had the opportunity to work with some amazing sports talents. 💪

First, there’s Antitalenti, who, despite their name, rose to the task and became the CroHoops Division 1 All Time Champions for the 2021/22 season.

And then there’s the 16-year-old marvel of the badminton court – Jelena Buchberger. After dominating the U17 European Cup last year, she became Croatian champion for the third year in a row.

Watching them achieve athletic greatness and grow can serve as an inspiration to all of us. Here’s to your bright and challenging future(s)! 🥳

Even though we’d be up for the challenge of coding the language of love and romance, for now – we’ll leave it to the poets and the painters.

An evening of sharp wits and beer, tackling a pub quiz with a romantic twist together with our people was definitely a challenge worth undertaking. 🍻

We work in empowered teams. With users as our true stakeholders – we experiment, follow the data, and if the results are optimal, we deliver. You could say we live by the rule that our success is measured only by how well the users receive what we offer.

It takes an empowered team to deliver great tech. The ultimate stakeholder at Superology is its users.

Not all agencies are the same and not all clients are a source of frustration. Yet, most of our web developers like working here for similar reasons.

Superology might be a right fit for you if:

✔ you’d rather spend 90% of your time on coding, and 10% on other tasks and meetings
✔ you enjoy diving deep into a project and following through with your plans and ideas
✔ you work well with no hard deadlines, just commitments on a cross-functional team level
✔ you like building complex things from scratch and improving them constantly
✔ you want to be able to leave work at work, and have carefree evenings and weekends
✔ you want your administrative work and taxes handled by someone far more experienced

If this sounds like a web development job for you, drop us a line.

It’s safe to say that the work we do is innovative, data-driven, user-centric and engaging, but we still do get asked – is working on a single product boring? The short version is no, of course not. But if you’re into a more substantive answer, read on.

🧠 Solving a meaningful problem usually takes focus, time, commitment, and a deep understanding of the matter. You can do that at a multi-product company or an agency, but working on a single product opens up that thriving space you need to follow through on every idea you have, from conception to implementation. It's a challenge, especially in tech, where capabilities, user expectations and trends are revolving at fast tempos.

🔍 Our Head of Product, Mario Lovreković, agrees strongly: “Think of the apps and phones you used four years ago. Back in the day, you had to invest more time and energy to deal with tasks you’re now solving within seconds. On top of that, a successful product means more users, and more users mean ten times the challenges you had to begin with. More problems represent more opportunities for your product to expand the offering and potentially solve some of those problems. Also, it’s fun to see how user preferences, habits and expectations can change even within the scope of just one location”.

While it’s hard to generalise, as not all product companies are more innovative than agencies and vice-versa, it’s still likely that at an agency, you’ll end up doing what needs to be done. And probably miss the chance to accumulate invaluable knowledge of why you’re doing it.

💡 The most significant advantage here is the agility and the deep understanding of the what, the how, and the why of a product.

👉 “When working on a single rapidly growing product, the knowledge you accumulate over time is priceless. You have to be agile in observing your product and its technology as you serve thousands of new users while keeping a close eye on your competition. It's just incredible.”, Mario points out.

This brings us to what, for some, is the hardest part of working on a single product. Being able to fail, even with your strongest idea on the table. The challenge is letting go and starting from scratch. That’s where the magic happens. You can call it what you like, but being boring is not one of those things.

A more sustainable work-life model is possible. When you build a culture based on trust and autonomy from the bottom up, and your teams are inspired, empowered, and focused on innovation – unlimited vacation works wonders. Both for people and the product.

Not all of us are meant for the stage. Nevertheless, we're sometimes asked to take the spotlight, whether it’s leading team syncs, presenting our work at meet-ups or just speaking up at a meeting.

With a bit of practice and direction, breathing, vocal and posture exercises from our phonetics expert Martina Karlović, we all have a shot at getting better and more confident about our public speaking skills. And with that, a bit more creative with transferring the knowledge about the product we're developing.

One of Superology’s 2022 highlights was making the most out of our education budgets.
While some attended world-renowned conferences, others were mentored by some serious hotshots from the industry, and the rest spent quiet hours studying online. Mobile development, UX, growth marketing, QA, leadership skills… You name it, we’ve done that.

In 2023, we hope to commit even more and stay true to our professional growth credo.

💸 We encourage and enable but never demand.
They don’t call it self-improvement for nothing. It should be self-initiated and seen as meaningful. Forcing people into learning never works, but if you got your eye on something worth exploring, we got you.

⏱ Ideally, work-related education should fit into working hours.
Developing our product gives us flexibility with the schedule, so when it’s up to us, we avoid prolonging anything into after-hours. There are, of course, some instances like conferences and courses where you must be present at a specific time.

🍿 Sharing is much appreciated.
Just completed a course that opened up some new perspectives? Sounds like the team should hear about it! And it doesn’t have to stop on a team level. Understanding how things work on the other end makes everyone’s life easier. That’s how our internal sessions Backend for Dummies came to be.

A professional growth budget is one of the most powerful benefits, if used right. Instead of a one-course-fits-all approach, we always go for you-do-you. So far, it has unfolded in some pretty awesome ways. Cheers to more of that in 2023! 🎉
