Hire us
A 30-minute scoping call with a senior engineer who’ll actually be working on your project. Not a sales rep, not an account manager.

FAQ
Most projects sit between £40,000 and £200,000. Smaller pieces of work (audits, fractional CTO retainers, two-week spikes) start at around £6,000. We’re not the right shop for sub-£10k one-off builds — those are usually better served by a freelancer.
For fixed-scope work, 30% on signature, 40% at the agreed midpoint, 30% on delivery. For ongoing retainers, monthly in advance. We invoice in pounds sterling, Net 14, and we’re VAT-registered. Larger enterprise clients on Net 30 by arrangement.
For most engagements, two to four weeks from signed contract. Genuine emergencies (a production system on fire, a deadline you can’t move) we’ll triage faster, often within the same week. Tell us on the call and we’ll be honest about capacity.
Yes, happily. We’ve got a mutual NDA we can send over before the scoping call if you’d prefer, or we can sign yours. We’re a UK Ltd company and we treat client information as confidential by default, NDA or no NDA.
As a rule, no. We work standard UK hours, Monday to Friday. We don’t subscribe to the “ship at 2am on a Sunday” model — it makes for tired engineers and brittle code. For on-call support of systems we’ve built, we have separate retainer arrangements with proper rotations.
London. Remote-first, but happy to come into your office for kick-offs, demos, or the occasional pub. Most of our clients are in the UK and Europe.
