Karakun –
Software Development and Consulting
With headquarters in Basel and teams across Europe and India, Karakun supports companies with Java-based software development, open-source technologies and partnership-driven consulting.
Karakun is a software development and consulting company with a strong focus on Java-based software development, open-source technologies and long-term partnerships.
We believe in open communication, respect for customers and employees, and the value of strong communities as the foundation for sustainable digital solutions.
Company culture
Karakun operates in a constantly evolving, highly technological environment. Nevertheless, people – our employees, partners and customers – are always at the centre of everything we do. We see ourselves as a partnership-oriented problem solver with clear values and principles.
We stand for honest, open, transparent and timely communication with all relevant stakeholders. Flat hierarchies are not just a concept for us but part of our everyday practice, reflected in how we collaborate and communicate.
Our way of working is characterised by mutual respect and appreciation. Diversity is more than a buzzword at Karakun – we are convinced that we benefit, both personally and as a company, from the different backgrounds, skills and experiences of our employees. For this reason, we actively promote the exchange of knowledge and information, creating a working environment defined by openness and trust.
A high degree of personal responsibility is another defining characteristic of our employees. At the same time, we believe that work should be enjoyable and compatible with individual life situations. Alongside professionalism, we place great value on a working environment where everyone feels comfortable and where a healthy work–life balance is possible.
Social Responsibility
As a company, we are very aware of our social responsibility. This awareness starts with everyday decisions. We do not operate a company car fleet and use public transport for business travel whenever possible.
In addition, we actively support the education and further training of IT professionals. This includes lectures at universities of applied sciences, sharing knowledge at conferences, after-work and community events, as well as participating in initiatives such as Girls’ Day and the National Future Day.
