Who We Are

MarsBased is a Barcelona-based web & app development consultancy that delivers flawless and tasteful code, crafted with precision by a senior team of developers with expertise on Ruby on Rails, Node.js, React and Angular.

We do business the same way we approach life; with our heads up, a limitless mindset and strong core values. We take on projects the same way we engage with technology; with a fascination for novelty, endless enthusiasm, and creative sophistication.

We’re a consulting agency with a startup DNA, that’s why we like to contribute to the startup and tech communities of our beloved Barcelona. We’re the developers of BCN Startup Map, BCN Startup Digest, and hosts of Startup Grind Barcelona. We’re highly involved in the BCN development & startup community by collaborating with different initiatives such as Fundación INLEA (Link2start), IronHack & others.

Company Values

Remote first: Our company is 100% remote. We have no office and our team is completely distributed. As such, we devise all our workflows and projects to adapt to our remoteness and every decision we take should not compromise this policy and mindset.
Transparency: We believe in openness as a way to provide more honesty and trust to our clients and among our team. A good and fluid communication based on transparency will help to spot issues before they appear or will eliminate them altogether.
Always exceed expectations: We believe in specialisation and on going the extra mile for everything we do. We're not only really good developers, but our delivery is also excellent.
Less is more: We believe that less is more and that simplicity is beautiful. In the event of having to choose between quality and quantity, we will always err on the side of quality and we will never take rushed-up decisions or actions compromising our principles.
Community-oriented: We contribute heavily to the startups & tech communities in Barcelona. We mentor new developers, work on open source and organise and sponsor events all year round to help the new generations of startups & tech people in our ecosystem!

Company Perks

100% remote: Our company is conceived and prepared to be 100% remote by default. All the tools and workflows we use adapt to this philosophy.
Flexible hours: Our schedule is 100% flexible so you can adapt it whenever needed. You can choose to work at the time of the day you are more productive. In our team, we have morning persons and those that prefer working during the afternoon. As long as a bunch of working hours coincides with those of the team and client you work for, it’s up to you how you organise, but let us know what times will you be working so we know when to reach out (and when not!).
No overtime: You will work a maximum of 40h per week. This is a marathon, not a 100-meter sprint. We need you sane and healthy for the long ride.
Choose your flavour: When you join our crew, you get a laptop with the specs you like. Given the tools we use, we recommend getting a Mac or Linux, but we're open to adapt to your preferences as much as possible.
Office material: The fact that we don't have an office doesn't mean that you shouldn't have one. We will cover the costs of your office material, such as a desk, a secondary screen, a chair, etc. (use sensibly).
Language courses: You will get up to USD 200 per quarter for learning languages either using iTalki, on-site lessons or online lessons with a professor you already know.
Paid coworking: If working from home isn't your thing and you want to work from a coworking space, we will give you an allowance of 150 euros per month so you can choose whichever suits you best.
Training & learning: We have different initiatives aimed at supporting your professional growth and skill development. From ensuring project rotation every time when possible, to the weekly Martian Tapas session, or the participation at conferences. In addition to that, we give you up to 150 euro per year for covering the cost of subscriptions, registration to courses, coaching sessions, books, etc.
Conferences: We sometimes go to conferences, like FullStackFest or EuRuKo. Want to go to a conference? Ask us and we will review it to see how we can help you! Depending on the relevance for the company, you might get some days off for attending the conference, have conference tickets covered, or even get transportation and accommodation expenses covered.
Sports & Health: We want to contribute to your overall wellbeing, and that's why we're happy to offer you an allowance of 150 euros per year to invest in sports and health-related activities or products. This can include gym fees, yoga lessons, the new running shoes you are willing to buy, a session with a personal trainer, etc.
Company retreat: Once per year, we do a company off-site away from Barcelona to enjoy a few days together in a different environment.
Martian Days: Every 2-3 months, we meet for a couple of days in Barcelona for a company get-together. We share the numbers of the company, strategy, interesting new projects, we conduct workshops and internal training and much more.
Zerg Rush: A few times a year, we do online hackathons with the entire team to work on internal and side projects.
Books: We'll buy you a few books when you start working with us so you get acquainted with how we work and what we do. If you need to purchase any other book for work, let us know!
Christmas dinner and other surprises: End of the year, start of the party! Our Christmas dinners (and the subsequent parties) are legendary. We also give a few Christmas gifts and some other surprises during the year.
Cool swag: Once per year, we create company swag like t-shirts, coffee mugs, hoodies or... facemasks!
