Software Development
Senior engineers who build alongside your team
Some problems need more hands; most need more experience. A legacy system that nobody dares to change, an API that has to scale tenfold, or internal tooling that every team keeps rebuilding — these call for engineers who have seen the pattern before.
We design and build production-grade services and tooling with your team, in your repositories and your review process, so the code and the knowledge both stay with you.
Schedule an architecture reviewSigns you need this
- A legacy system blocks the roadmap, but a full rewrite feels too risky to start.
- A new service or API needs to be production-grade from day one, and your team is at capacity.
- Several teams have built their own versions of the same internal tool.
- Architecture decisions are being made under time pressure without a second opinion.
What changes
- Production-grade backend services and APIs, shipped
- Legacy modernization without freezing the roadmap
- Internal tooling that makes other teams faster
- Senior code and architecture reviews on demand
What we deliver
Backend services and APIs
Production-grade services with tests, observability, and deployment pipelines built in, designed with the team that will own them.
Legacy modernization
Incremental strangling of legacy code paths behind stable interfaces, so the roadmap keeps moving while the old system shrinks.
Internal tooling
Developer tools and automation that remove repetitive work across teams, built to be maintained rather than admired.
Code and architecture reviews
Senior reviews of designs and critical code paths on demand, with written recommendations your team can act on.
How an engagement runs
- 01
Understand
We start with the system, the constraints, and the people who own it, and agree what a good outcome looks like.
- 02
Design in the open
Design notes and decisions are written down and reviewed with your engineers before code is written.
- 03
Build in small increments
Changes land through your normal review process, behind feature flags where needed, so nothing waits for a big release.
- 04
Hand over
Documentation, pairing, and ownership transfer, so your team runs and evolves the result.

Questions about Software Development
Which languages do you work in?
Most modern backend languages and frameworks. If your stack is unusual, ask — we will be honest about fit.
Do you work in our repositories and process?
Yes. We work in your repositories, follow your review and release process, and leave nothing behind that depends on us.
Can you just review our architecture?
Yes. A focused architecture review is a common first engagement, delivered as a written report with prioritized recommendations.
