We built what we
couldn't find
anywhere else.

Our founder spent decades leading engineering teams and kept hitting the Scala is the only thing we do. Every engineer at Scala Teams works in it exclusively, which changes what you get when something in your system gets hard. wall: not enough senior Scala developers, and offshore vendors that couldn't deliver. So we stopped looking and built it ourselves.

Hiring Scala talent is genuinely hard.

Scala is not a generalist skill. There aren't many people who know it well, and the ones who do have options. Most companies spend months searching, settle for someone underqualified, or abandon the search entirely. Meanwhile, their roadmap waits.

We Know What Matters

  • Scala only. Not Scala among fifty other things.

    We don't staff generalist developers and call them Scala engineers. Every person was hired for their functional programming depth. That's the entire job description.

  • Vetted by someone who knows the difference.

    Our founder has been working in Scala since the language launched. He knows what senior-level Scala work looks like and what it doesn't. Every engineer on our bench goes through him.

  • Communication built into the model.

    Our engineers work in agile environments and are trained for async communication, not just technical output. You get people who fit into how your team actually works.

We didn't start a staffing company. We solved a problem we lived with for years.

That context matters. Our founder isn't a recruiter who pivoted to tech staffing. He's an engineering leader who spent decades managing teams and dealing with the same hiring problems you're dealing with right now. Scala Teams exists because we couldn't find what you're looking for either.

Boston Scala Enthusiasts

We've been running the Boston Scala Enthusiasts meetup, a meetup for engineers who work in Scala and functional programming. This is where our network lives. It's also how we stay close to what's actually happening in the ecosystem, not just what the job boards say.

In the Conversation

Our founder writes regularly about Scala, functional programming, and what good engineering teams look like. If you want to get a feel for how we think before we ever talk, his LinkedIn is the place to start.

The Scala Teams Blog

Real technical content from people who work in the language every day. No fluff, no trend-chasing. Just practical perspective on building with Scala at scale.

Senior Scala engineers. All of them specialists.

Our team covers the full Scala ecosystem. Whatever your stack looks like, we have someone who's worked in it at a senior level and can contribute without a ramp-up period.

FP Core

Cats & ZIO

Functional programming foundations done properly

Streaming

Pekko / Akka

Actor systems and reactive streams

Data

Apache Spark

Large-scale data processing and pipelines

Infrastructure

GCP & Kubernetes

Cloud-native deployment and operations

Not everyone covers everything, but we do. When you bring us a project, we match you with engineers whose specialization fits your stack. You're not getting whoever's available. You're getting whoever's right.
