Cloud Engineering
in London
Production cloud infra without the DevOps headcount. CI/CD, observability, secrets management, on-call.
Most early-stage SaaS doesn't need a DevOps hire. It needs someone who has set up production CI/CD, structured logging, secrets management, and on-call escalation enough times to get it right the first time. We build that foundation on Vercel, AWS, or GCP — whatever fits your stack and budget — then hand back a runbook so your engineers can ship without page duty becoming a full-time job.

How this works
One AI-native engineer.
The output of a team.
One senior engineer plus AI agents now ships cloud engineering that used to need a four-person team. Same code quality, half the cost, three-week timelines instead of three months. Built for pre-seed to Series A founders in London who need to ship before the next round closes.
The local read
Why cloud engineering is hard in London
London founders have access to deep fintech and gov-tech talent but the hiring cycle is brutal. Senior offers in the City clear £100K base plus equity that competes with Revolut and Wise. Local dev shops mostly serve enterprise — slow procurement, multi-quarter contracts, agency-of-record billing.
Different model: one senior engineer ships your build in two weeks, four-to-five-hour overlap with our working hours, billed in USD. Open Banking via TrueLayer or GoCardless for fintech. Next.js + NestJS + Postgres for SaaS. Flat-price quote in 24 hours. Code in your GitHub from commit one.
Hiring one senior engineer here is a ~$200K year-one outlay and a 60–90 day search. Our cloud engineering engagement starts at $4,000 with a first deploy in 7–10 days.

What you actually get
Concrete deliverables.
Live in 7–10 days.
No discovery phase that bills for itself. No Figma-only delivery. Every item below is something you can open, click, and ship to a user.
CI/CD pipeline with preview deploys, test gating, and rollback on failure
Observability: Sentry for errors, structured logs to a real human inbox, basic dashboards
Secrets in a vault (1Password, Doppler, or AWS Secrets Manager), rotated and audited
Runbook: what the on-call does at 2am, escalation paths, common failure recipes
Why us
Why founders in London pick us for this
01
Production-first defaults — every config we ship has survived at least one real incident
02
Stack-pragmatic — we don't push Kubernetes when Vercel Functions are the right answer
03
Flat-price means we want to ship the simplest working thing, not the most billable thing
04
Handover documents are written for your engineers, not for our retention
