Products & Platforms
Senior engineers who join your team, not your vendor list.
EU-based engineers and AI specialists who show up to your standups, review your pull requests, and ship code from week one. Front-end, back-end, AI/ML, DevOps, data. We handle the people side; you handle the product.
Hiring senior engineers takes half a year. You need them now.
The good ones are already employed. The available ones need months to get up to speed. And the contractors you can find this week are usually not the ones you want reviewing your architecture next quarter. We shortcut that. EU-based senior engineers and AI specialists, technically vetted, who join your delivery process from day one. Not a separate "vendor squad" you throw tickets over the wall to. Productive in week one, and we manage the overhead so you ship, not admin.
How we engage
Our way of working with you
What we actually do on every engagement, regardless of stack, role or scope.
- 01Map the real gap
We start with your system, not the job spec.
Workshop with your team to understand the codebase, the missing skills, and the team dynamics. We hire to the actual problem, not to a generic requisition.
- 02Define "good" upfront
Success is measurable before anyone starts.
We agree on throughput, quality and ramp-up targets together. So we can show the team is shipping value, not just logging hours.
- 03Work alongside, not apart
Engineers in your standups, your code review, your roadmap.
Not a separate vendor team behind a contract wall. Knowledge stays in your organisation as we work.
- 04Ship in weeks, not quarters
First commits in week one, real contribution in week two.
Screened, briefed and ready before they start. Senior engineers who can read your codebase and contribute fast.
- 05Plan our exit from day one
You can absorb the team or release them, at your pace.
We scale up and step back as your needs change. No lock-in, no awkward off-boarding. Just senior people who deliver while you need them.
By the numbers
Senior engineering capacity is the bottleneck for almost everyone.
The data on hiring, retention and senior availability tells the same story across markets. Building the right team alone takes longer than the project itself.

What you get
Senior engineering capacity in your delivery process, without the six-month search.
Senior engineers in the roles you actually need
Front-end (React, Next.js, Angular), back-end (Node, Go, Python, Java, .NET), mobile (iOS, Android, React Native), DevOps, data, ML and full-stack. Vetted for the specific stack you run.
AI and ML specialists, when you need them
LLM engineers, ML researchers, MLOps and data engineers. The niche skills that are hardest to hire and easiest to waste on the wrong work.
In your standups, your tools, your process
Your Slack, your Jira, your code review. We integrate into your team, not behind a vendor SLA wall.
Vetted, not just CV-matched
Technical interviews, system design rounds and reference checks before anyone touches your codebase. We send people we would want on our own team.
People management off your desk
Performance, growth, retention, replacement. All handled by us. You manage the work; we manage the people.
Grow or shrink as you need
Add people for a project, reduce after launch, swap roles as priorities shift. No long lock-in, no awkward goodbyes.
Selected work
Long-running engagements where our engineers shipped alongside in-house teams for years.

Recast
How we deliver
From your team gap to shipping engineers. Usually 2 to 4 weeks from kickoff to first commits.
- 01
Brief
Call with your team. We confirm the role, stack, seniority and how they will fit in. You leave knowing exactly what we are looking for and what the trade-offs are.
- 02
Vet
Technical interview, system design and reference checks. You meet finalists and decide. We do not push anyone you are unsure about.
- 03
Embed
Pre-brief on your codebase, tools and process before day one. First commits typically in week one; full pace in week two.
- 04
Run
We handle performance, growth and retention. Team scales up, down or swaps roles as your priorities shift, without you running the people side.
What changes when senior capacity is not the blocker
Talk about your team gapRoadmap stops waiting on hiring
Senior engineers in the seats means the next feature, AI initiative or modernisation is not blocked by a six-month search.
Your existing team levels up alongside ours
Working together means knowledge flows both ways. Your engineers see senior practices day-to-day and pick them up.
You stop running the people side
Performance, growth, retention and replacement happen on our side. You manage the work.
Niche AI / ML skills become available without a year of searching
LLM engineers, MLOps specialists, ML researchers. Accessible when you need them, not after a long hunt.
Where embedded teams land first
Sectors where senior engineering availability is the hardest gap to fill, and where an empty seat costs the most.
Fintech & financial services
- Compliance-aware back-end engineering
- Risk and ops platform development
- Customer-facing apps and embedded analytics
- AI/ML for fraud, scoring and personalisation
Dedicated teams, explained
Most roles fill in 2 to 4 weeks from kickoff to first commits. Niche AI / ML specialists can take longer; we are honest at briefing about what your timeline supports.
Both. Some clients add one or two specialists to an existing team. Others have us build a full delivery squad with our tech leads or yours.
We do. Our engineers have growth paths and managers inside Codino, so retention is not your problem and replacements (when needed) come pre-vetted.
We pre-brief our engineers on your stack, codebase and conventions before day one. Most contributors are productive in week one and shipping at full pace in week two.
Yes. Our engineers are EU-based, with EU data residency and GDPR-compliant delivery by default. Time-zone alignment is a feature, not a friction point.
Why Codino
- EU-based senior engineers. Vetted, time-zone aligned, GDPR-compliant by default.
- Embedded delivery. Your tools, your standups, your code review. Not a vendor team behind glass.
- Senior-only. We do not sub in juniors to keep the rate down.
- AI / ML specialists available. The roles hardest to hire, accessible without a six-month search.
- Flexible scale. Up, down, swap roles as priorities shift. No long lock-in.
