Senior software leadership
exactly when you need it.
Tech companies win or die on execution. We step in when software becomes the bottleneck for hardware-first and deep-tech teams scaling toward customers, revenue, or funding.
Device-to-dashboard systems
Full-stack systems that turn sensor data, via the cloud, into reliable product and decision surfaces.
Data pipelines and governance
Clear data ownership, clean interfaces, and compliance-ready systems for high-stakes environments.
Reliability, security, and scale
Stabilising systems under pressure while keeping teams aligned and delivery moving.
When to call us
We are an efficient unit providing interim senior software leadership for hardware-first and deep-tech teams. We step in when delivery, reliability, or technical direction is holding back growth, revenue, or funding.
When hardware teams hit software reality
Research or hardware-led companies reaching the point where software, data, and infrastructure matters, but no senior software leadership exists yet.
When systems don’t scale with ambition
Products that work, but need engineering to scale confidently for customers or investors.
When engineering leadership is missing or fractured
CTO transitions, misaligned teams, or delivery breakdowns that put growth or fundraising at risk.
When hiring feels like a leap of faith
Before building a full software org, we stabilise architecture, delivery, and direction so your hiring needs become clearer.
How we work
- • Diagnose: Short, focused diagnostic across architecture, delivery, team structure, and risk, identifying what actually blocks progress.
- • Stabilise: We embed as senior technical leadership to fix reliability, solve problems, and create clarity.
- • Ship: We help teams deliver the next product, customer, or funding milestone with confidence.
- • Roll off: We leave behind clear architecture, documentation, and working practices so teams operate efficiently once we're gone.
Our engagements are typically time-bounded and outcome-driven, with specific milestones and tight scoping.

What we do
Platform & architecture resets
Untangle brittle systems, clarify ownership boundaries, and put a stable architecture in place when reliability or scale is at risk.
Software foundations for hardware products
Device-to-cloud-to-dashboard systems, data pipelines, and operational tooling that turn prototypes into dependable products.
Delivery and reliability under growth pressure
Stabilise releases, reduce risk, and build confidence with customers, regulators, and investors when the stakes are rising.
Engineering leadership during transition
Interim senior leadership when teams are fractured, the CTO seat is in flux, or delivery needs a calm, accountable owner.
Upskilling teams on technical fundamentals
Hands-on training for engineering teams on architecture, software best practices, and the technical judgment needed to operate confidently.
