ThoughtWorks

We are a software company and a community of passionate, purpose-led individuals. We think disruptively to deliver technology to address our clients' toughest challenges, all while seeking to revolutionize the IT industry and create positive social change.

Our mission is to better humanity through software and help drive the creation of a socially and economically just world. We bring together the most capable, driven and passionate people - we call them ‘ThoughtWorkers’ - to: Run a sustainable business, Champion software excellence and revolutionize the IT industry, and Advocate passionately for social and economic justice.

This is our three pillar business model. The pillars are the foundation of everything we do, they inform every decision we make.

Our people & culture:

Wherever we are in the world, ThoughtWorkers share the same cultural characteristics and imperatives.

We come to work as ourselves. We enjoy each other’s company. We value honesty and transparency. Appearances and backgrounds aren’t important to us; ideas and doing the right thing are.

We abhor and reject discrimination and inequality and promote diversity in all its forms. We proudly, passionately and actively strive to make both ThoughtWorks and our industry more reflective and inclusive of the society that we serve.

Roy Singham founded ThoughtWorks in Chicago over 20 years ago with the aim of attracting and employing the best knowledge workers in the world – building a community based on attitude, aptitude and integrity.

ThoughtWorks has grown from that small group in Chicago to a company of over 4000 passionate people spread across 40 offices in 14 countries: Australia, Brazil, Chile, China, Ecuador, Germany, India, Italy, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Always inventing, always delivering

Whether you’re driving your market forward, or worried about being overtaken, we believe you don’t have to choose between inventiveness and reliable delivery. We always bring a measure of both. Together we’ll create a new future, and deliver it in the right way, at the right time.

ThoughtWorks brings strategy, portfolio management and product design, combined with digital engineering excellence. We help our clients become data-led businesses. We create products that their customers love. In weeks, not years.

Invented here

We bring cutting edge technology and techniques to the enterprise. Sometimes we invent those things, sometimes we’re part of the developing ecosystem. In years gone by, we've been pioneers in bringing Java, .NET, RoR, TDD to early adopting enterprises.

More recently, we've brought - and literally written the book for - Infrastructure as Code, Microservices, Lean Enterprise, Agile IT Org Design.

We help our clients all over the world build great software and leap ahead of, or even redirect, their market. We helped guardian.co.uk build the platform for one of the world’s largest online news sites.

Our partnership with one of Australia’s largest financial services brands has seen the launch of several award-winning mobile products and the replacement of their entire core banking system, all while transforming their way of working across Australia, India and China.

Our work with Xenex has led to software advances for germ zapping robots that keep hospitals cleaner. Together with Domino’s we built an award winning social platform, Pizza Mogul, which lets their customers get a share of the profits - creating the ultimate loyalty.
