Product engineering teams

A team that grows and shrinks with your roadmap

We build backends, mobile apps and web platforms as an embedded team under your direction — scaling up for a push and back down when it is done, without you carrying the headcount in between.

The model

Pay for the weeks you need the people

Roadmaps are lumpy. A release needs six people for a month and two for the quarter after. Hire for the peak and you pay for idle capacity; hire for the average and every deadline slips.

We hold the bench, so you do not have to. The team scales week to week, and the people who leave the project are the same ones who come back to it — because they never left us.

Team size against roadmap demand over a year Our team size rises and falls with each release push and quiet period, staying under the flat line of a fixed team sized for the busiest month. The gap between the two is capacity a client would pay for but not use. Fixed team sized for your busiest month A year of roadmap Quiet quarter Release push What you actually pay for

Our own products

How engagements are shaped

Three commercial shapes. Clients move between them as the work changes.

Embedded team

We own a product or a slice of it, with a lead accountable for delivery. Team size moves with the roadmap. This is most of our long-running work.

Time and materials

Named people working to your process and your board, billed for the time they spend. For teams that already know what they want built and need throughput.

Support retainer

Cover for a live system on the hours your business runs, with an agreed response time. Nights and weekends included where operations need it.

Have something that needs building, or rebuilding?

A thirty-minute call with an engineer, not an account manager. We will tell you if it is not work for us.
