For startups & tech teams

Senior engineering, without the senior headcount.

Built and run by engineers from large-scale production environments - AI systems, cloud infrastructure, SRE. We take on the work that's blocking your roadmap: fixed scope, fixed price, production-grade.

What we take off your plate

AI features, shipped properly

LLM-powered features designed for production: retrieval pipelines, agents, evals, cost and latency budgets, guardrails. Not a demo that dies in review - a feature your users can rely on.

DevOps & platform engineering

CI/CD that ships in minutes not hours, infrastructure as code, environments developers don't fear. The platform work that makes a small team move like a big one.

Reliability & SRE

Monitoring, alerting, incident readiness, SLOs that mean something. For teams that have felt the 3am page - or want to make sure they never do.

Cloud cost optimization

AWS/GCP/Azure bills audited and cut - rightsizing, commitment strategy, architectural waste. Often the fastest-payback engagement we offer: the savings are usually visible in the first week.

MVPs & product engineering

Full-stack builds from spec to production: APIs, frontends, data layers, auth, payments. Senior engineering judgement applied to scope - you ship the 20% that proves the product.

Fractional infrastructure team

A retainer that gives you a senior platform/SRE capability without the £100k+ hire: ongoing ownership of your infra, reliability and developer experience.

How engagements work

Same model as everything we do: a scoping conversation, a fixed-price SOW with testable acceptance criteria, and delivery with monitoring and documentation included. For ongoing platform ownership, the fractional retainer gives you a defined monthly capacity with a one-business-day response SLA.

Technical buyers welcome - bring your architecture diagrams, we speak fluent production.
