Transform & Deliver

icon microservices

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

icon developer documentation

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

Icon open source

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

icon vertical teams

Cross-functional teams

We put together teams that include engineers, a delivery manager, a software engineer in test, DevOps engineers, and a product manager. They then focus on:

  • Collaboration; making sure we’re all working to fulfil the same clear goal

  • Including and scrutinising all the areas needed to deliver value, without being blocked

  • Bringing different views and priorities to the product’s table, and in doing so, helping us build the right thing

icon pair programming

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


Support & 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.
