01 · Embedded squads

Senior engineers, inside your team

Tell us the roles you need. Say, three backend engineers, a designer, a QA, and a DevOps. We hand-pick seniors who plug directly into your team, your tools, and your standups. You direct the work; we handle everything behind it.

  • Engineers work directly with you, day to day
  • One contract, one predictable monthly invoice
  • We handle contracts, payroll, and replacements
  • Scale the squad up or down as your roadmap changes
02 · End-to-end delivery

Hand us the whole build

Have a product to ship but no team to ship it? Bring us the idea. Our in-house squad scopes it with you, then designs, builds, and takes it to production. Weekly demos, a single point of contact, no coordination overhead on your side.

  • A fixed senior team, assembled for your project
  • Design, build, deploy: spec to production
  • Weekly demos and transparent progress
  • You own the code and infrastructure from day one

Engineering Manager

Sprint planning, stakeholder management, hiring loops, and the boring-but-critical work that keeps your team shipping every week.

  • Agile / Scrum
  • OKRs
  • 1:1 coaching
  • Roadmapping

Tech Lead

Architecture decisions, code reviews, mentoring juniors, and unblocking the team. The person who turns vague PM tickets into shippable specs.

  • System design
  • Code review
  • Mentorship
  • Tech strategy

Senior Backend Engineer

Production-grade services that don't wake people up at 3am. APIs, microservices, queues, workflows, and the hard parts of distributed systems.

  • Node.js / NestJS
  • PostgreSQL
  • Redis
  • Temporal
  • AWS

Senior Frontend Engineer

Fast, accessible interfaces shipped from spec to production. Type-safe, tested, and built on patterns your team will still understand in 2 years.

  • React / Next.js
  • TypeScript
  • Tailwind
  • Testing
  • Design systems

Senior QA Engineer

Test strategy, automation, and release confidence. Catches the regression before your customers do, and turns every deploy into a non-event.

  • Test automation
  • Playwright / Cypress
  • API testing
  • CI pipelines

DevOps Engineer

CI/CD, infrastructure as code, observability, and cloud costs under control. Deploys that are boring, in the best possible way.

  • AWS
  • Docker / K8s
  • Terraform
  • CI/CD
  • Monitoring

Product Designer

From early discovery to polished UI. Wireframes, prototypes, design systems, and the user research that prevents you from building the wrong thing.

  • Figma
  • Design systems
  • UX research
  • Prototyping

Product Manager

Roadmaps that map to revenue. Specs your engineers can actually build. Discovery that kills bad ideas before they cost you a sprint.

  • Roadmapping
  • User research
  • Analytics
  • Prioritization

EduGestion (Tunisia)

Building a live multi-tenant SaaS for Tunisian training centers in five months

Took EduGestion from an empty repository to production in five months for a founder who came to us with specs and no engineering team. Private training centers across Tunisia run their classes, attendance, and billing on it today. And unlike most case studies, you can click it.

Key Features

  • Shipped a working product to real customers in five months. Training centers now run their daily operations on it, and the link below opens the live platform, not a prototype.
  • Wired the platform into Tunisia's payment rails (D17, Flouci, and ClicToPay) with a dual confirmation path so no payment goes silently missing, even on a gateway that never reports success.
  • Isolated every training center from day one. Onboarding the next customer is a signup, not a redeployment, and unpaid accounts drop to read-only without anyone chasing invoices.
  • Installed the delivery process alongside the engineers: review gates, QA sign-off, and automatic deploys on every approved change, so the founder never had to manage the build.
