About Us

We're a technology consultancy that partners with scale ups, SMEs, and enterprise organisations to accelerate business value, speed, and quality of delivery. Our consultants bring hands-on experience from scaling hypergrowth companies in sectors like food delivery and e-commerce. We work in a few different ways: embedding senior engineers to lift capability and culture from within, standing up dedicated teams to move fast on complex problems, or advising on architecture, hiring, and scaling strategy. Two things anchor how we work: Engineering exists to deliver value, not for its own sake. Great people build great culture, and great culture builds great products.

Who We're Looking For

  • Proven experience leading technical teams, ideally cross-functional teams across more than one organisation
  • Confidence shipping and maintaining web applications in a fast-paced, iterative setting
  • Full-stack comfort, even with a stronger lean toward either front or back end
  • Experience building microservices on container-based infrastructure (Kubernetes, Docker, etc.)
  • Solid hands-on experience with a major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
  • Strong grounding in Agile/Lean ways of working

The Work

We work across a range of well-known tech organisations and brands, with ongoing engagements spanning multiple sectors β€” plus new opportunities on the horizon that would let the right person grow alongside some genuinely excellent engineers.

A flavour of the stack you might use:

  • Languages/runtimes: .NET Core, Node.js, Python, Java/Kotlin
  • Infrastructure: Kubernetes, Terraform, infrastructure-as-code
  • Frontend: TypeScript, React, GraphQL, Apollo
  • Cloud (AWS): Lambda, ECS, CloudFront, API Gateway, DynamoDB, Aurora, S3, SQS, SNS, Kinesis
