Software engineering for financial services
The systems your business runs on, engineered to last.
Senior engineers for banks, trading firms and growing companies. We design, build and run back-end platforms, integrations and AI.
Industries we serve
Most of our work is in financial services, where systems must be correct, auditable and always available. We bring the same standards to mid-sized companies.
Solutions
Six areas where we are asked to help most often. Each one is delivered by the same senior team, from design to operation.
Regulatory and trade reporting
Reporting pipelines where every message is tracked to acknowledgement.
Learn moreIntegration and connectivity
Connect venues, ERPs, payment providers and partner APIs without replacing what works.
Learn moreBack-end platforms and frameworks
Services and shared frameworks that other teams can build on safely.
Learn moreAI with data under control
Assistants, document processing and search, on local models when data must stay in-house.
Learn moreResilient infrastructure
Infrastructure you can rebuild from scratch, with backups that are tested, not assumed.
Learn moreModernisation
Move legacy applications to current technology while the business keeps running.

Selected work
Client names stay private. The problems and the results are real.
Capital markets
Trade reporting with nothing left untracked
An investment firm had to publish trades under MiFIR post-trade transparency rules. We built a FIX gateway to the reporting venue that tracks every report through to acknowledgement or rejection.
Compliance sees at any moment which trades are published and which need attention.
Regulatory and trade reportingBanking
Back-end services and in-house frameworks
Long-term work inside bank engineering teams: applications behind core processes, and the shared frameworks other teams use for logging, configuration and testing.
Consistent, documented building blocks that internal teams can maintain on their own.
Back-end platforms and frameworksInfrastructure
Production rebuilt from scratch in minutes
A provider-independent tool that checks servers, takes encrypted backups, provisions a blank machine and restores every application on it.
Rehearsed on a live system: about three minutes to bootstrap a blank server, under a minute to restore.
Resilient infrastructureAI
Voice and document AI on local models
In our own hospitality product, staff change recipes by voice and import them from photos. Speech is transcribed on our servers and a local language model takes over when cloud models are not allowed.
AI features in production with no requirement to send data to a third party.
AI with data under control
How a project runs
Four steps, each ending with something you can check.
Understand
We learn your processes, constraints and existing systems before proposing anything.
You getA written assessment of the problem and the options
Design
A clear architecture and plan, agreed with you before any code is written.
You getScope, timing and cost you can verify
Build
Short iterations with working software you can see and test at every step.
You getA working release at the end of every iteration
Run
We deploy, monitor and maintain what we build, and keep it up to date.
You getMonitoring, updates and engineers who know the system
Ways to work with us
Pick the model that matches how certain the scope is. Many clients start with the first and move to the second.
Fixed-scope project
Ongoing development
Team extension
The goal is clear and the scope can be written down.
The product keeps evolving, or a system needs to be run and maintained.
Your team needs senior experience in a specific area for a period.
Agreed scope, timeline and price. Delivered in iterations you review.
A monthly allocation of senior engineering time, with priorities set by you.
Our engineers join your team, tools and rituals, and leave the knowledge behind.

Why companies choose us
Who you will work with
A small team of senior engineers with a background in banking and trading systems. The person you meet in the first call is the one who works on your project.
Senior people, direct contact
You talk to the engineers who write the code. No account managers in between.
Built to last
Readable code, tests and documentation, so the system stays maintainable by us or by your team.
Integrate, don't replace
We extend and connect what already works instead of starting from zero.
Technology follows the problem
We pick tools for your context, not our habits. AI included: only where it pays its way.
We also build our own products
