About us

Life on Mars is a software consultancy based in Germany and Portugal. We’re a collective of seasoned software engineers, all friends from university. We had been working apart in a multitude of challenging projects and came together to join forces under the same roof.

We specialize in MVP discovery, rapid prototyping, and full-stack concept-to-deployment development of web and mobile applications.

Our way

At Life on Mars, we know that creating great digital products is hard to get right. That is why we don't just focus on client satisfaction: we also strive for maximum employee happiness. We strongly believe that a happy and motivated team can do anything that’s thrown at them — and with a smile on their faces to boot.

Life on Mars handpicks all its team members prioritizing network referrals, and no one joins the team without every collaborator having voiced their enthusiastic consent.


We <3 Open Source

Life on Mars is very committed to Open Source. Aside from contributing through giving back to the community, we offer a 20% discount for any work published under an OSS license.
