Our Market Position

We are not traditional outsourcing, body-shopping, or short-term, delivery-only development. Instead, we build enduring client relationships, jointly manage uncertainty, and treat software as a strategic, continuous source of business value.

Shinetech is a Developer-Centric Software Services Company delivering long-term, value-driven software capability to businesses worldwide.

  • Developer-Centric: Our developers are the core asset—empowered to make decisions, drive solutions, and take ownership of software outcomes.

  • Software: We focus exclusively on building and evolving software systems that deliver measurable business impact.

  • Services Company: We provide expert-driven capability and continuity through dedicated teams, not pre-packaged products.

We are:

  • Not project outsourcing
  • Not body-shopping or talent reselling
  • Not short-term, delivery-only development
Instead, we form long-term relationships with clients, share responsibility for uncertainty, and treat software as a continuous source of business value rather than a checklist of requirements.

Our People

At Shinetech, we see our developers as our greatest asset and focus on their long-term growth and job security rather than project quantity.

70%

developers' salaries

30%

operational costs

70% of what our partners invest goes directly into developers' salaries and full social benefits, creating a stable environment where they can stay focused and committed. Thanks to this approach, we've kept our turnover rate below 5% for five consecutive years—providing continuity and reliability our partners value.

What We Believe

Long‑Termism

Project delivery is not the end—it is the beginning.

Short‑term optimization around speed, output, or utilization often destroys long‑term value. We prioritize continuity, trust, and sustainable growth, building software capabilities that evolve with the business over years, not sprints.

Rather than optimizing for temporary velocity, we invest in maintainable architectures, shared knowledge, and technical decisions that support change, scale, and stability over time. Through stable teams and accumulated context, we reduce hidden risk, strengthen trust, and enable software to grow as a durable business asset—not a disposable project.

Developer‑First Culture

Developers are the primary creators of value.
We put people before processes and growth before pressure. Shinetech operates with a developer‑first culture that emphasizes:
  • Full‑time employment and stability
  • No overtime culture and no “burnout economics”
  • Trust, autonomy, and responsibility
  • Long‑term career growth aligned with client success
When developers are respected and empowered, clients benefit from continuity, quality, and deep business understanding.

Software does not start with requirements; it starts with problem solving. At Shinetech, our developers are not task executors. They work directly with clients to understand real business context, challenge assumptions, and co-create solutions that stand the test of time. To us, agile is not about moving faster, it is about thinking independently, making informed decisions, and taking long-term responsibility for the values we made.

Shinetech exists to build long-term software capability by putting developers first, sharing uncertainty with clients, and treating software not as a one-off delivery, but as a continuous source of business value. We believe sustainable outcomes come from stable teams, honest collaboration, and the willingness to invest in what matters over years, not sprints.

How We Got Here

Our Story began in 2001 with a single belief: software can empower people and businesses to grow together.
Over the years, we’ve walked alongside our partners,
building lasting relationships through problem-solving, innovation, and trust.

Genesis
Vision Takes Root
Jerry Zhang, our CEO, embarked on his journey in China’s tech industry in 1995 after earning a Bachelor of Science degree from the Beijing Institute of Technology. He began his career in a technical role at East Changwei Company and later served as the editor-in-chief of the Chinese publication Internet Weekly. Recognizing the growing demand for software development both globally and within China, he founded Shinetech Software Inc. in Beijing.

Expanding Horizons
From 2003 to 2005, Shinetech expanded into the European and American markets, building key partnerships that shaped our international foundation.

Strengthening Cultural Connections
By 2013, Shinetech had accumulated a wealth of software development knowledge, positioning us as a trusted global partner. However, we recognized that to truly serve our partners, we needed to connect on a deeper cultural level. To achieve this, we sent engineers from various branches to work at our American offices for several weeks. This initiative was designed to help our teams better understand the culture, improve interpersonal communication, and build stronger relationships with our partners, ensuring that we could deliver even more tailored and effective solutions.

Overcoming Challenges Together
The year 2020 brought unprecedented challenges to the world, forcing businesses to adapt to remote work and confront disruptions that seemed insurmountable. In response, Shinetech stepped up to support our partners through open communication, knowledge exchange, and transparent actions.

Celebrating 20 Years of Innovation
In 2021, Shinetech celebrated its 20th anniversary, marking two decades of innovation and growth. We commemorated the milestone with a coding camp and our first Shinetech Honor of Kings eSports tournament. Despite the ongoing global challenges, we continued to provide uninterrupted service, helping our partners navigate the transformations brought on by the pandemic.

2022
Openness
Shaping the Future
In 2022, Shinetech focused on sharing the knowledge and expertise we've built over the past 20 years. We began developing a playbook to document our experience with remote software development, aiming to make it accessible to a wider audience. While out-of-house software development has evolved into a major industry, much of it remains closed off to outsiders. We’re committed to changing that by creating and publishing articles on best practices, with the goal of making our insights easily understandable, even for those new to the field. Stay updated by signing up for our mailing list and receiving regular insights on software development best practices!

Building a Strong Community
In 2023, we made significant strides in fostering a strong developer community, culminating in our inaugural Remote Developers Conference, which brought together over 100 remote developers to discuss the future of remote work. Our CEO also shared Shinetech’s core values in an interview with China Daily, emphasizing our commitment to agile development and remote work practices. To further encourage community engagement, we organized football matches and sponsored local American football teams, promoting teamwork and connection.
