Engineering for systems that cannot fail quietly

Six practices covering the full path from assessment to production and handover. Engagements usually combine two or three, staffed by the same senior team throughout.

Discuss a programme
01

Core banking & payments engineering

The systems money actually moves through — ledgers, account and card rails, clearing integrations and the reconciliation that keeps a regulator comfortable.

Where we help

  • Double-entry ledgers with provable balance integrity
  • SEPA, SWIFT and card scheme integrations
  • Strangler-pattern migration off a legacy core
  • ISO 20022 message modelling and translation layers

What you receive

  • Target architecture & migration roadmap
  • Ledger and payment services
  • Reconciliation and settlement tooling
  • Runbooks, SLOs and operational handover
02

Blockchain & digital asset infrastructure

Custody, tokenisation and settlement systems designed with the same rigour as the bank-grade infrastructure that has to sit behind them.

Where we help

  • MPC and HSM-backed custody with policy-based approvals
  • Tokenised deposits, e-money and RWA issuance platforms
  • Solidity and Rust contract suites with invariant tests
  • On-chain/off-chain reconciliation and treasury operations

What you receive

  • Threat model and key-management design
  • Contracts with full test coverage
  • Node, indexer and settlement infrastructure
  • Independent audit coordination and remediation
03

Platform modernisation & cloud

Untangling a monolith without stopping the business — decomposing, containerising and re-platforming critical systems while every regulatory obligation stays intact.

Where we help

  • Event-driven decomposition with clear domain boundaries
  • Kubernetes and multi-region resilience patterns
  • Infrastructure as code with policy guardrails
  • Cost and latency reductions measured, not promised

What you receive

  • Domain and dependency assessment
  • Reference platform and golden paths
  • CI/CD, observability and DORA baselines
  • Team enablement and internal documentation
04

Risk, compliance & security engineering

Controls implemented as code rather than described in a binder — so an audit becomes a query against your systems instead of a quarterly fire drill.

Where we help

  • AML, KYC and transaction monitoring pipelines
  • DORA, PSD2, MiCA and PCI DSS readiness
  • Evidence-generating controls and audit trails
  • Secure SDLC and threat modelling

What you receive

  • Control gap analysis mapped to obligations
  • Automated evidence collection
  • Security architecture review
  • Regulator-ready documentation packs
05

Data platforms & applied AI

Financial data made usable — lakehouse foundations, real-time risk signals and AI systems built with the lineage and explainability a regulated business needs.

Where we help

  • Streaming and batch pipelines with lineage
  • Feature stores for fraud, credit and pricing models
  • Retrieval systems over policy and operations knowledge
  • Model governance, evaluation and drift monitoring

What you receive

  • Data architecture and governance model
  • Pipelines and quality gates
  • Model serving and evaluation harnesses
  • Analyst and operator tooling
06

Technology advisory

Architecture and technology leadership for teams in the middle of something consequential — a licence application, a core replacement, a due diligence process.

Where we help

  • Technical due diligence for investors and acquirers
  • Vendor selection and build-versus-buy analysis
  • Architecture review for programmes that have stalled
  • Hiring plans and engineering operating models

What you receive

  • Written assessment with prioritised actions
  • Architecture decision records
  • Board and regulator-facing summaries
  • Advisory availability for the duration
Engagement models

Three ways to start

Every model has a defined exit. We would rather be re-hired than retained by inertia.

Assessment

Fixed fee

2–4 weeks

A written, evidence-based read of your architecture, delivery capability and regulatory exposure, with a prioritised action list.

  • Codebase and architecture review
  • Risk and compliance gap analysis
  • Roadmap with sequenced options

Delivery team

Monthly

3–12 months

A small senior team working inside your repositories and your ceremonies, shipping production increments rather than status reports.

  • Weekly production releases
  • Tests, observability and runbooks included
  • Shared on-call during stabilisation

Advisory retainer

Monthly

Rolling

Architecture and technology leadership on call — for boards, licence applications, due diligence and the decisions that are hard to reverse.

  • Fractional CTO or principal architect
  • Design review and decision records
  • Regulator and investor-facing material
Scoping

Not sure which one you need?

Most clients start with an assessment because it costs least and removes the most uncertainty. Describe the situation and we will tell you plainly whether we are the right firm for it.
