Software Engineering

We enable you to adopt emerging technologies and grow powerful engineering teams with a strong focus on open source development.

Your needs

We aim to get a solid understanding of our clients' needs and key business objectives, constraints, vision and how best to measure to outcomes we want to achieve.

Your bespoke team of experts

We curate the right team of experts in software engineering, architecture, delivery, product and design to work alongside your teams, focusing on collaboration and driving rapid iteration towards the chosen metrics.

Our action plan and transformation strategy

We'll document what we've learnt through the process and structure our proposal. And, by putting the challenges your company faces into context, we'll determine the best path to success.

Transform and deliver

Microservices

We lead with a microservices mentality focused on relevant backend technologies.

Increase code quality

Dedicated team running the core platforms

Move from bottlenecked processes to a business fulfillment tool

Vertical teams

We actualise a framework of teams that include a scrum master, developers, a developer in test, a devops engineer, and a product manager.

Effective communication, prioritising transparency

Each person takes ownership of the function they control

All functions are tested; peer-reviewed code as the standard

Developer documentation

To achieve independence from the core platform, we create and uphold extensive documentation.

Teams are able to use core platforms independently

Drivers are provided and maintained by the core teams

Unauthorised drivers are banned from production, reducing unnecessary risk

Pair programming

Our pair programming training mean existing teams learn from seasoned professionals while delivering high quality, functional platforms.

One-on-one tutoring

Rich breakout sessions

Programming workshops and independently led work

Open source development

Open source communities attract the best talent, and we encourage you to create a presence within those developers and their innovations.

Our Developer Advocates help contribute to open source projects

Run learning events with your immediate and extended community

Attract talent while nurturing your company’s internal culture

Support and sustain

Continuous innovation

We want to be sure that by the time our engagement ends, you and your team are capable of continuous innovation and delivery. Part of this assurance is supporting your growth for the future.

Dedicated teams

These teams of YLD engineers work exclusively for you. They enable a very strategic and long-term way of scaling your software engineering teams, ensuring all domain knowledge remains in-house.

Lasting culture

We help you bring new employees into your product teams, up-skilling them and enabling them to continue the progress we’ve made together.

Committed to Open Source

By championing open source, we inspire your teams to adopt a shared mindset of craftsmanship and excellence.

Community support

Open source technologies are supported by knowledgeable and resourceful communities. Their collective contributions result in more robust, innovative and faster solutions. Furthermore, allowing open source communities to review the code and propose improvements increases security and reliability.

Full control

Using open source technology means transparency and access to the code, which allows faster bug fixes and custom feature development. Clients are no longer dependent on tech vendors and gain full control over the code base.

Attract talent

Opening up the code base is a channel engage with exceptional engineers in the community. It also allows in-house talent to showcase their individual contributions, giving visibility to both the team and to the company.
