Senior engineers,inside your team.

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 repo, join your stand-ups, and a second senior engineer of ours reviews every pull request before it reaches you. We start with a paid two-week trial on real tickets. If it isn't working, you stop. No notice period, no fee.

Who you get
1 to 3 senior engineers
Time to start
2 weeks
Billing
Monthly, per engineer
Notice
30 days

The people you meet on the first call are the people who write the code.

Twelve senior engineers. No junior bench.

Proof

Three numbers
that moved.

Each one is written up in full on the work page: the problem, what we did, and what we'd change next time.

4h 12m to 9m

An overnight job that had started overlapping the working day. We profiled it, rebuilt it, and added a test that fails the build if it ever slows down again.

Logistics platform, Netherlands

84%

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

3% to 61%

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 things we
put in the contract.

These go in the contract. Most of our work comes from people who already hired us once.

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 work, none during the trial. You're not locked in.

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.

Days 1 to 3

Understand

A call with the engineer who'd lead it. Free, and we'll say if we're wrong for the work.

Week 1

Scope & quote

Milestones, named people, a written rate. Nothing starts until you approve it.

Week 2 on

Build

Short sprints, a working demonstration every Friday, written updates daily.

Final week

Hand over

Runbooks, documentation and a walkthrough with whoever takes it on.

Tell us what you're building, and who you need.

Send the stack, the seniority you want, and how much overlap with your hours you need. An engineer will send back a written rate and a realistic start date within one working day. Not a salesperson.
