Build software people actually use.

We are a small senior team shipping products for clients across seven countries. No layers, no ticket-shuffling — you talk to the client and you own what you build.

What working here is like

  • You talk to clients directly. No account manager translating requirements into something unrecognisable.
  • You own features end to end — design conversation, implementation, deployment, and the consequences.
  • Short projects, visible outcomes. You ship things that go live, rather than working on a roadmap item for a year.
  • AI-assisted engineering is the norm here, not a policy debate. We expect you to use it well and to review what it produces.
  • Senior-heavy team. Code review is real and you will learn from it.
  • Fixed dates mean disciplined scope, not unpaid overtime. If a date is at risk, we re-scope rather than burn people.

What we look for

More than a framework list:

  1. You can explain a technical decision including its trade-off, not just its benefit.
  2. You read code you did not write without complaining about it first.
  3. You write clearly. Most of the job is communication, and remote work amplifies that.
  4. You push back when a requirement does not make sense, with a reason.
  5. You finish things. Ninety per cent complete is zero per cent shipped.

How hiring works

  1. 1
    Application

    Send a CV or a GitHub profile and a short note about something you built and what was hard about it.

  2. 2
    Intro call

    Thirty minutes on your experience and what you want to work on.

  3. 3
    Technical session

    A working session on a realistic problem — not algorithm puzzles. You can use your normal tools, including AI.

  4. 4
    Team conversation

    Meet the people you would work with, and ask them anything.

  5. 5
    Offer

    With the terms written down clearly.

We hire continuously for the roles above rather than posting fixed vacancies

If none of the roles above match but you think you would be useful here, write anyway and tell us why.

Questions, answered.

Do you hire remotely?
Yes, for the right people, though we have a strong preference for candidates who can spend some time in the Lahore office — particularly early on. Fully remote works best for senior engineers who are already good at written communication.
Do you hire juniors?
Rarely, and we would rather be honest about it than waste your time. We are a small team where everyone ships client work directly, which is a hard environment for a first job. We do occasionally take on exceptional graduates when we have capacity to mentor properly.
What is the interview process like?
An intro call, a working session on a realistic problem, and a conversation with the team. No algorithm puzzles, no unpaid take-home projects that take a weekend. You can use your normal tools in the technical session, AI included — that is how you would work here.
Is AI going to replace these jobs?
It has already changed them substantially, and we would rather say that plainly. AI handles a growing share of routine implementation here, which means the job is more about architecture, judgement, review, and client communication than it was three years ago. We are hiring people who are strong at those things.

Six things we put in writing.

Not values on a wall — contract terms. Ask any other supplier to match them line by line.

A price in 24 hours

Send a brief, get a fixed written price and a delivery date the next working day. Free, no obligation, and the scope document is yours to keep even if you go elsewhere.

The price does not move

Fixed, not an estimate. If scope changes we re-quote in writing and you approve before we build it. You will never open a surprise invoice.

Half on delivery

50% to start, 50% when it is live and you are satisfied. You never fund the whole project up front.

Unlimited design revisions

We do not write production code until you approve the screens. Changing your mind at that stage costs nothing.

You own everything

Full source code, design files and credentials on delivery. No licence, no platform fee, nothing that stops another developer taking over.

30 days of fixes included

Free bug fixing for a month after launch, then an optional retainer only if you want one.

Every one of these is in the agreement before you pay anything. See how we evidence our claims →

Tell us what you're building.

A paragraph is enough to start. You get a scoping conversation and a fixed written price with a delivery date within 24 hours — free, and yours to keep whether or not you go ahead with us.

  • A senior engineer replies, not a salesperson
  • Written quote inside 24 hours
  • NDA before you send anything sensitive — just ask
  • No obligation, no follow-up sequence

Every budget is welcome. Tell us what you have and we will say honestly what is possible within it — or point you somewhere better if we are not the right fit.

Free, no obligation. A senior engineer replies — not a salesperson. We never share your details or add you to a mailing list.
