// backend engineering · built for scale

We build the systems your business runs on.

Services, data platforms and APIs — designed and built for the environments where correctness, security and uptime are non-negotiable.

What we do04 — capabilities
01

Production services & APIs

We build the microservices and APIs at the core of a business. Greenfield builds and long-lived platforms alike.

02

Data platforms & pipelines

From large-scale batch processing to extracting structured meaning from messy document sets, we build data pipelines that stay correct and predictable at volume.

03

Platform modernisation

Migrations, refactors and dependency upgrades on systems that can't afford downtime — moving established codebases forward, backed by thorough integration testing.

04

Embedded delivery

We integrate with in-house teams — setting technical direction and raising the standard of the codebase so capability outlasts the engagement.

How we workprocess & practice
01

Understand

We start with the problem and the constraints — the business need, the existing systems, and what success actually looks like.

02

Design

Architecture and technical design up front, with the trade-offs made explicit so the right calls are made before code is written.

03

Build

Incremental delivery with thorough automated testing, working alongside your teams rather than behind a wall.

04

Deliver

Library migrations, refactoring and code review carried through to a tested, maintainable result — with knowledge shared so your team can carry it forward.

Capabilities
API design Distributed systems Event-driven systems Large-scale data processing Batch ETL pipelines Relational database design Library migration & refactoring Technical leadership

We choose the right approach for each problem rather than forcing every project through the same template. Our experience spans government, life sciences and enterprise data — environments where getting it right, keeping it secure, and staying online are non-negotiable.
