The technologies listed represent expertise across our team. We match individual engineers to your project’s stack, required seniority and scope of work.
AI-assisted engineering
Engineering expertise. Supported by AI.
Our engineers use Claude, Claude Code and OpenAI Codex to support development, testing and technical investigation. AI-assisted work follows the same engineering standards as any other contribution: human review, automated checks and validation against project requirements.
Tools
- Claude
- Claude Code
- OpenAI Codex
AI tools are used in line with your organization’s policies and agreed data-access rules.
- Development & Refactoring
- Support implementation, explore existing code and prepare refactoring changes with AI assistance. Engineers assess each change against the architecture, requirements and maintainability of the project.
- Test Design & Automation
- Draft test scenarios, identify edge cases and assist with UI and API automation. Engineers verify assertions, test data and coverage against actual product behavior.
- Debugging & Technical Investigation
- Use AI to help interpret errors, examine code paths and develop hypotheses. Validate proposed explanations through reproducible checks and observable results.
- Documentation & Delivery Workflows
- Assist with technical documentation, change summaries and CI/CD configuration drafts. Review the output and verify executable changes before adoption.
Engineers remain accountable for the code, tests and technical decisions delivered to your project.
Engagement models
Add one engineer. Or bring together a team.
Dedicated Engineers
Bring an experienced specialist into your existing team.
Your engineer works with your backlog, repositories, communication tools and delivery process. You set priorities and collaborate directly on implementation, technical decisions and progress.
A good fit for: Filling a specific skills gap or adding capacity to an established engineering team.
Senior-Led Teams
Combine an experienced Senior engineer with two supporting Junior engineers in one coordinated engagement.
The Senior leads technical decisions, reviews contributions and serves as your primary engineering contact. Supporting engineers handle suitable implementation, testing, documentation and maintenance tasks under Senior supervision.
You agree on the team’s composition, responsibilities and access before work begins.
A good fit for: Projects with a mix of complex engineering work and clearly scoped supporting tasks.
Cross-Functional Team Extension
Bring Java Backend, QA, DevOps, Front-End and AI engineers together around your project’s needs.
We help define a team composition that fits your current priorities, whether you are developing new services, building test automation or improving your release process.
A good fit for: Work that requires coordinated expertise across development, quality and infrastructure.
Team support
More expertise within reach.
Software delivery often crosses disciplines. A backend change can affect test coverage. A failing pipeline can slow a release. An integration issue can require input from several engineers.
Depending on your engagement, your dedicated engineer can draw on colleagues across Backend, QA Automation and DevOps.
- Technical Mentoring & Code Review
- Support for implementation decisions, code quality and the development of less experienced team members.
- QA & Test Automation Support
- Input on test coverage, automation design, integration checks and release validation.
- DevOps & Pipeline Support
- Help with build pipelines, test environments, containerization and deployment workflows.
- Engineering Consultation
- Additional perspectives on technical problems that extend beyond one specialist’s discipline.
The scope and availability of supporting expertise are agreed as part of your engagement.
Hiring & onboarding
From your requirements to a first working day, in as little as two weeks.
Our experience includes sourcing, preparing and onboarding engineers across Java Backend, QA Manual, QA Automation, DevOps, Front-End and AI Engineering.
We connect you with engineers who have relevant technical preparation, then coordinate the steps needed to bring the selected specialist into your project.
