Custom software, built and run
Software
Custom software across the stack — built by the team that then runs it.
Build the product, or rescue the stalled build — and keep your engineers on the roadmap the round was priced on, not on plumbing.
We design, build, and modernize custom software — applications, services, APIs, data pipelines, and the integrations between them — and then run it. Not a deck and a handoff: working software, accepted against a spec, kept alive by the people who wrote it.
Who it's for
Teams that need real software built or untangled — a product to ship, a stalled build to rescue, a legacy system to modernize without a big-bang rewrite — and don't want to carry the on-call and the drift forever. The work spans greenfield builds, replatforming, and the unglamorous integration that makes systems actually talk.
How it fits
Most software work leans on architecture up front and infrastructure to run on; we sequence all three so the build isn't waiting on a design or a place to deploy.
What's included
- Discovery and a written spec: what gets built, the interfaces and data flows, the acceptance criteria, and the parts where the honest answer is “buy this, don't build it.”
- Design and build of the applications, services, and APIs the spec describes — incrementally, behind tests, against your real systems.
- Integration with what you already run — data stores, identity, third-party services, the existing estate — without a rip-and-replace where one isn't warranted.
- Modernization and rescue: strangler-fig migration of legacy systems, paying down the debt that's actually slowing you down rather than rewriting for its own sake.
- Acceptance against the spec and the evaluation criteria — not against a demo — with the test and CI scaffolding to keep it true.
- Operation and maintenance for as long as it's in production: the team that wrote it keeps it running, patched, and evolving.
What you provide
- A product or workload owner who can describe what “done” means and adjudicate the edge cases.
- Access to the systems the software must touch, scoped to what the spec requires.
- Review and sign-off on the spec and the acceptance criteria.
Timeline shape
Discovery in weeks. The build lands incrementally — the first working slice in production early, scope widening from there — rather than a big-bang cutover. Maintenance begins at go-live and continues for the life of the system.
