Where to start
Tell us what's happening.
We'll tell you what it needs.
Most engineering partners make you guess which of their services applies to you. Pick the sentence closest to your situation and you'll get a straight answer — including how long it takes to start and how it's billed.
Hire engineers — Dedicated engineers
Senior engineers working as part of your team
Hiring a senior engineer locally takes around eleven weeks. This takes two. They work in your repository, join your stand-ups, and every pull request is reviewed by a second senior engineer of ours before it reaches you. Engagements open with a paid two-week trial on real tickets — if it isn't working, you stop, with no notice period and no fee.
- Who you get
- 1–3 senior engineers
- Time to start
- 2 weeks
- Billing
- Monthly, per engineer
- Notice
- 30 days
What we do
Three families.
Nine services.
You either need people, you need something built, or you need a business system fixed. Everything we sell sits in one of those three.
Hire engineers
When you have the direction but not enough senior hands.
- Dedicated engineers — full time on your backlog
- Engineering pods — a team with its own lead
- Fractional leadership — direction, not throughput
Build software
When you'd rather buy the outcome than manage the people.
- Web & product engineering
- AI & machine learning
- Data & cloud infrastructure
- Assessment & stabilisation
Business platforms
When the systems your revenue runs through have drifted.
- Salesforce & enterprise platforms
- Marketing & growth engineering
The people you meet in the first call are the people who write the code.
The whole studio is twelve senior engineers — there is no second bench
Proof
Three numbers
that moved.
Each one comes from a project written up in full — the problem, the method, the constraint, and what we would do differently.
An overnight process that had crept into business hours, profiled and rebuilt — with a test that fails the build if it ever slows down again.
Logistics platform · Netherlands
Accuracy against a question set written and approved by underwriters beforeany retrieval code existed. Nothing left the client's own cloud.
Insurance group · United Kingdom
Test coverage on the core paths of a codebase whose every original author had left, reached without a rewrite and with customers live throughout.
Health technology · United States
What you can hold us to
Five commitments,
in writing.
These are contractual, not aspirational. They are also why more than two-thirds of our work comes from clients who have hired us before.
The people you meet are the people who work
No substitution after an engagement is awarded without your written approval, in advance.
You own everything, from the first commit
Work happens in your repository, under your accounts. Code and IP are yours throughout, not on completion.
A working demonstration every week
Software you can use, not a status report. If there is nothing to show, we tell you that instead.
Rates and terms are published
You don't need two discovery calls to learn how billing works. It is written on the contact page.
You can stop
Thirty days' notice on monthly engagements, none at all during the trial. Nobody has to be locked in for this to work.
How we work
Four stages,
in one line each.
What each stage delivers, what we need from you and the standards we hold are set out in full on how we work.
