01
Product engineering
Discovery, build, and release for the product itself. Front end, back end, and the API surface between them, shipped in increments you can see.
Software & IT Engineering
Engineering teams that extend yours.
Product development, platform work, modernization, and integration, delivered by a team a US-based lead is accountable for.
01Capabilities
What we do
Six areas of work. They overlap in practice, because a platform problem and a product problem usually arrive together.
02
Platform and cloud
The layer the product runs on. Cloud architecture, networking, environments, cost control, and the automation that keeps them consistent.
03
Application modernization
Legacy systems moved forward without a rewrite you cannot finish. We separate what has to change from what only looks old, then sequence the work.
04
Systems integration
Getting your systems to agree with each other. Data contracts, event flows, and the error handling that decides whether an integration survives its first bad payload.
05
QA and test automation
Test strategy, automated coverage where it pays for itself, and release gates that catch a regression before your users do.
06
Managed IT and support
Run and support for what is already live. Monitoring, patching, incident response, and a named person to call.
02Engagement
How you can buy it
Three shapes. The right one depends on how settled the scope is and how much of the management you want to keep.
01
Dedicated team
A standing team that works only on your roadmap, with a US-based lead accountable for it.
Best when the work is ongoing and priorities move month to month.
02
Project or fixed scope
A defined outcome, a written scope, and a fixed commercial shape agreed before anyone starts.
Best when the requirement is stable and you need a date.
03
Staff augmentation
Named engineers who join your existing team, your existing process, and your existing standup.
Best when you already have the plan and the management, and need capacity.
03Delivery
How delivery actually works
A US-based lead owns your engagement. Engineering capacity sits behind that lead rather than in front of them, so a problem never has to route through someone who cannot decide.
Your side
Your team
- The person who owns the process
- Your engineers, where they are involved
- Whoever signs off on a release
Daily contact

Account and delivery lead
- Owns scope, timeline, and escalation
- Runs the weekly review with you
- Accountable for what ships
Direction, review, escalation

Engineering capacity
- Engineers, quality engineers, and platform support
- Works to the plan the US lead agreed with you
- Reachable directly once you want it that way
04Governance
Quality and governance
The standards every engagement runs to. They are written into the statement of work, so they are something you can hold us to rather than something we say.
01
Code review
Every change is reviewed by a second engineer before it merges. Review happens on the pull request, in your repository, where you can read it.
02
Testing
Automated tests ship with the change, not in a later phase. Coverage targets are agreed per repository rather than imposed as one number across all of them.
03
CI/CD
Builds, tests, and deployments run from a pipeline, never from a laptop. Every release is reproducible and every deployment traces back to a commit.
04
Security review
Dependencies, secrets, and access paths are checked as part of review. Anything that widens the attack surface is raised before it merges, not after.
05
Documentation
Architecture decisions, runbooks, and setup steps live in your repository. If someone new has to run this next quarter, they can.
06
Handover
Handover is planned from the first week, not negotiated in the last one. You get the code, the pipelines, the documentation, and a working session with your team.
05Questions
Common questions
Who is accountable if delivery slips?
A named US-based lead owns the scope, the timeline, and the escalation path. That person runs your weekly review and is the one you call when something is late. Escalation never routes through a time zone you cannot reach.
Can we start small and add people later?
We would rather start with a lead and a small team, so the plan is real before the headcount is. Adding or removing people is a change to the statement of work, agreed in writing before it takes effect.
Do you work in our repositories and tools?
Yes, by default. Your repositories, your pipeline, your ticket tracker, your review standards. Where one of those does not exist yet, we set it up in your accounts and hand it to you.
What happens to the work if the engagement ends?
You keep it. Code lives in your repositories from the first commit, pipelines run in your accounts, and the documentation sits next to both. Nothing important lives only on our side.
How much working-hours overlap do we get?
Overlap is agreed before the engagement starts and written into the statement of work, along with the hours your lead is reachable. The exact overlap depends on the delivery region, which is set out above.
Do you take fixed-price work?
Yes, where the scope is stable enough to fix honestly. Where it is not, a fixed price is a guess with a contract around it, and we will tell you that rather than quote one.
Tell us what you are trying to ship
A 30-minute call, no deck. We’ll ask what the system does today, what is in the way, and who owns it, then tell you honestly whether we’re the right team for it.
