Our Story

Founded to help engineering teams drive continuous improvement across people, process, and code.

Code Climate is the company behind Velocity, a Software Engineering Intelligence platform that maximizes engineering impact for leaders and teams at all levels with trusted insights on everything from capacity and delivery to quality, culture, and costs.

Code Climate was founded in 2011 by engineering leaders who were frustrated by the lack of visibility into data that would enable them to make informed improvements. Today, we provide thousands of engineering leaders with the tools to make data-driven decisions through a flexible, scalable, and secure SEI platform, which provides visibility into the engineering team’s health, investment of resources, operational efficiency, and progress towards key goals. Quality, our automated code review tool, has helped over 100,000 individual developers worldwide save time and improve the maintainability of their codebases.

Code Climate is honored to have been named one of Built In’s Best Places to Work in 2022, 2023, and 2024.

Improve Speed with DORA

"Code Climate’s Velocity platform already played a critical role in improving the health of our engineering organization. With the insights provided, we were able to remove bottlenecks and bring our cycle time down from 120 hours to less than 48 hours. Now, we can view DORA metrics in the context of the other Velocity data, which saves substantial time and provides a really clear picture of our team’s performance."

Joseph Gefroh,

Meet 90% of Commitments

"Velocity makes it so much easier to advocate for resources. For the first time, we can quantify what the engineers are actually doing. When you’re dealing with numbers-oriented people, being able to put the right numbers in front of them is meaningful."

Mike Couvillion,

Recognize High Performers

"Sometimes, I have developers who aren't performing to expectation, and some who are perceived to not be performing. By being able to look at the aggregated data, I can verify that a developer is performing where we think they are. This tool has allowed me to justify a promotion for one of my quieter developers who people didn't perceive as a high performer."
