Three ways to put senior engineering to work.

Every engagement is staffed with staff-level engineers who use Claude Code, Cursor and Copilot as a core part of how they deliver. Choose the shape that fits where you are — we flex the model to the problem, not the other way around.

01

Team Augmentation

Senior engineers, embedded in your squad.

We place staff-level engineers directly inside your existing squads. They work in your repo, your ceremonies, your on-call rotation — and bring AI-assisted workflows with them. No shadow team, no parallel process.

What's included

  • Vetted staff-level or principal engineer
  • Ramp under 5 business days
  • Claude Code / Cursor / Copilot workflow, your IP-safe
  • Integrated into your standups, PRs and on-call
  • Optional pair-program onboarding for your existing team

Engagement

Typical size
1–3 engineers
Minimum term
3 months
Ramp time
< 5 days
Time zones
APAC primary, EMEA/US overlap

02

Product Development

We own the outcome, end to end.

A small, senior pod takes the problem from discovery through production. We ship working software every week, document decisions as we go, and hand over a codebase your team can own. Fixed scope, fixed cadence, no body-shop margin.

What's included

  • Cross-functional pod of 3–6 engineers
  • Discovery, design, build, deploy
  • Weekly production increments
  • Handover-ready documentation and ADRs
  • Post-launch stabilisation window included

03

AI-Assisted Engineering

Re-shape how your team ships.

Strategic engagements for engineering leaders who want their team to use AI safely and productively. We roll out tooling, define guardrails, run evals, and build the playbooks that let a bank, insurer or regulator say yes.

What's included

  • Tooling rollout — Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot
  • Prompt and agent evaluation frameworks
  • Guardrails, observability and red-team playbooks
  • Governance narratives for audit & procurement
  • Hands-on pair-programming with your senior engineers

Engagement

Typical size
2–4 engineers + advisory
Duration
6–12 weeks
Output
Working tooling + playbook
Fit
Teams 20–500 engineers

How we engage

From first call to owned codebase, in weeks.

The same four-step rhythm, whether the engagement is one engineer embedded in your team or a full product pod. Predictable, auditable, boring in all the right places.

01

Scoping call

A senior engineer joins the first call — not a salesperson. We map the problem, the constraints, and the shape of engagement that fits.

02

Brief & team

Within a week you see the team, the plan, and a written brief. Commercials, IP and access are settled in parallel.

03

Ramp & ship

Engineers are in your repo in days. First production increment lands in the first two weeks for most product pods.

04

Handover

We document decisions as we go. When the engagement ends, your team owns a codebase — not a dependency.

Let's talk delivery

The next release of your product is waiting on one conversation.

Tell us about the problem — the constraint, the regulator, the deadline. We'll scope an engagement and have a senior engineer on a call within the week.
