Engineering services

Organised around the problem rather than the technology: where data is created, how it moves, and how you know it arrived correctly.

Backend & distributed systems

We design and build backend services where concurrency, retries and failure are normal operating conditions rather than edge cases.

  • Go services, PostgreSQL, Redis
  • REST and gRPC APIs, WebSockets
  • Queues, workers and asynchronous processing
  • Idempotency, retries and concurrency control
  • Schema design that holds rules in the database, not only in code

System & API integration

We connect SaaS platforms, internal applications, third-party APIs, databases, financial systems and cloud services — and make the connection observable.

  • Data synchronisation and transformation
  • Validation at every boundary
  • Retries that are safe to repeat
  • Reconciliation between source and destination
  • Logs, traces and alerts that say which record failed and why

Data engineering & integrity

Some data passes through several systems before it matters: operational events become usage, usage becomes an invoice, an invoice becomes a finance record. We build the pipeline and the checks that prove it is right.

  • Operational events → transformation → downstream systems
  • Usage → billing → invoice → finance
  • Source system → integration → destination system
  • Traceability from any output back to its inputs
  • Exception datasets instead of silent drops

Applied AI

We integrate language models into existing applications as components with inputs, outputs and failure modes — not as demos.

  • LLM APIs and structured extraction
  • Retrieval-augmented generation, embeddings, pgvector
  • Hybrid search: full-text and semantic together
  • Document understanding for PDFs and images
  • AI-assisted workflows with human review

Cloud & production systems

We set up and run the environments these systems live in, from containers and workers to deployment pipelines and monitoring.

  • GCP: Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, Pub/Sub
  • Docker and Kubernetes
  • Background workers and scheduled jobs
  • Deployment environments and migrations that run safely
  • Monitoring, tracing and production reliability

Ways to work with us

Start small and bounded; grow when the first result is in your hands.
  • Focused engineering sprint

    About 1–2 weeks

    The easiest place to start: one clearly bounded technical problem, a fixed scope, and working output at the end — code, tests and findings you keep.

  • Engineering project

    Several weeks to several months

    A larger backend, integration, data, AI or infrastructure build, planned in milestones and delivered into your repositories.

  • Embedded engineering

    A defined period

    Senior backend engineering working inside your existing engineering or product team, on your tools and your process.

Have a system that has to be right?

Tell us where the data moves and where it goes wrong. The first conversation is technical: the systems involved, the boundary that matters, and what a first sprint would produce.
