About
A studio where clay meets code.
PotteryCode is a software studio for businesses that want systems built with care — not assembled in a hurry.
Why pottery?
The best software we've ever worked on felt handmade. Someone had clearly centered it before building — the structure was calm, the edges were clean, and it held up for years.
Pottery is the oldest engineering discipline we know: a material, a process, and a kiln that tells you the truth. Air bubbles you ignored will crack. Walls you rushed will slump. We found that the same rules apply to code, so we built a studio around them.
Today we design, build and run web platforms, applications and infrastructure for clients in English and French — with the patience of a potter and the rigour of engineers.
Studio rules
Four rules written on the workshop wall.
- 01
Center before you throw
We don't write a line of code until we understand the problem, the people and the data.
- 02
Stay soft until it's right
We iterate in the open, show work early and change shape without drama.
- 03
Fire everything
Tests, reviews and monitoring aren't extras. If it isn't fired, it isn't finished.
- 04
Repair with gold
When something breaks, we own it, fix it and share what we learned.
Careers
Join the studio.
We're always looking for makers — engineers, designers and product people who care about how things are built, not just that they ship.
Real craft
Modern stacks, code reviews that teach and time to do things properly.
Room to grow
Mentoring, conference budget and ownership of meaningful pieces.
Remote-friendly
Work from the studio or from home, with a team that writes things down.
Bring us your lump of clay.
Every good system starts as a rough idea. Tell us about yours — we'll help you center it, shape it and fire it for production.
