Book a Scoping CallA115: Software Engineering Excellence Meets the Front Office
For over two decades, we've engineered solutions from inside the front office. We don't just understand the technology; we understand the stakes.
Practitioner-Led
Our solutions are designed by engineers who have sat on trading floors at firms like Shell and Centrica. We speak your language and understand the urgency and precision your market demands.
Domain-First Engineering
We start with your business challenge—be it visualising P&L, automating auction bids, or processing real-time fundamental data—and architect the technology to solve it, not the other way around.
Built for Performance & Scale
In a world of microsecond decisions, performance is non-negotiable. We build low-latency, high-throughput systems using modern Python, cloud-native architecture, and a relentless focus on clean, scalable code.
Our Core Consulting & Development Services
We translate your complex requirements into robust, mission-critical software assets.
Bespoke Trading & Risk Platforms
Move beyond the limitations of Excel and generic ETRM modules. We design and build greenfield tools that give your traders and analysts unparalleled visibility and control.
- Real-Time Position & P&L Visualisation: We've delivered solutions at Shell that aggregate data from systems like OpenLink Endur and FIS Aligne to provide traders with a single, highly configurable view of their real-time exposure across commodities.
- Auction Automation Platforms: We built the cloud-based system used by LimeJump and Shell traders to automate participation in day-ahead power auctions on EPEX and N2EX, supporting PPAs and energy storage trades.
- Custom Analytics & Reporting Tools: From ESG metrics at Schroders to credit risk APIs at Bank of Ireland, we build the tools that turn data into decisions.
High-Performance Data Engineering
Your trading strategy is only as good as the data that feeds it. We engineer the pipelines that ingest, process, and serve market-critical information with the speed and reliability your business demands.
- Low-Latency Streaming Pipelines: At Centrica, we built high-throughput systems using Python and Kafka to process real-time exchange data, FX, and physical fundamentals like weather and pipeline pressure at rates of up to 100,000 messages per second.
- ETL & Data Warehousing: We leverage modern tools like Azure Databricks, AWS Aurora, and TimescaleDB to build robust data warehouses and productionise ETL tasks for accurate forecasting and analysis.
- Generative AI & Vector Databases: We have hands-on experience implementing cutting-edge AI applications, including RAG techniques and high-performance similarity search on embeddings with PostgreSQL and pgvector.
Strategic Cloud & DevOps Advisory
Leverage the full power of the cloud without the complexity. We provide the strategic guidance and hands-on implementation to build, deploy, and manage your trading infrastructure securely and efficiently.
- Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC): We are experts in provisioning and managing infrastructure with Python using tools like AWS CDK and Terraform, ensuring repeatable, auditable, and scalable environments.
- Cloud-Native Architecture: From serverless functions (Lambda) to container orchestration (Kubernetes), we design architectures that are resilient, cost-effective, and perfectly matched to your workload's demands.
- Process & Quality Optimisation: We champion best practices in CI/CD, Python code quality, and security, helping your teams ship better software, faster.
