Senior full-stack product engineering
Hiring rounds often take weeks before anyone writes real code. What you usually need is one person who can own the architecture and the delivery from the first week.
We start with your constraints and what success looks like, then build in short demos so everyone can react to working software instead of documents.
Most people who reach this page are companies hiring a proven software engineer. End-to-end ownership across React/Next.js, NestJS, databases, and cloud.
What you get
- Scalable web applications
- Clean architecture and APIs
- Performance and accessibility
- Remote-ready collaboration
- One studio accountable for the result
- Design and engineering on the same schedule
- Support available after launch
How engagement works
As your software engineer, we run a shared backlog, design reviews, and engineering sprints, and you keep one point of contact throughout.
- 01
Discover
Goals, constraints, data sources, and success metrics, all settled before we touch architecture or prompts. Nothing here waits on a handover between separate teams.
- 02
Design
System design, AI/tool boundaries, interface direction, and interaction prototypes. On software engineering projects we favour practical architecture over trendy defaults.
- 03
Build
Modern stack, clean architecture, evaluated AI behavior, and iterative demos you can react to. The work for teams in Europe stays tied to the outcome you asked for.
- 04
Launch
Ship, monitor, harden, and keep improving models, tools, and product after go-live. You see progress on the critical path every week.
How we build it, and why
The stack is chosen per project, not applied from a template. For software engineer work these are the defaults, and the reason each one is on the list.
- TypeScript
- types across the whole stack, which catches the class of bug that only shows up in production
- Next.js
- server rendering and static generation in one framework, so marketing pages stay fast and app routes stay dynamic
- NestJS
- structure and dependency injection on the backend, which keeps a growing API from turning into a pile of route handlers
- PostgreSQL
- relational integrity for data you cannot afford to get wrong
- AWS
- the services you grow into, once a managed platform stops being enough
What the first weeks look like
- Days 1-3
Context and constraints
Codebase, deploy path, and what "done" means for the software engineering. Short, because the useful version of this is specific.
- Week 1
First shipped slice
Something real goes out in the first week — scalable web applications rather than a setup ticket.
- Weeks 2-6
Build to the milestone
Pull requests, reviews, and weekly demos. You see the work as it happens rather than at a handover meeting.
- Handover
Documented and transferable
Runbooks, architecture notes, and a walkthrough, so the work does not depend on us still being here.
Weighing up your options
There are three realistic ways to get this built. Each is the right answer for someone.
A solo freelancer
Cheapest per hour and fine for a contained task. The risk on software engineering is breadth — one person covering design, backend, infrastructure, and launch usually means one of them is weak, and there is no cover when they are unavailable.
A local agency in Europe
Same timezone and a face to meet, which genuinely matters for some teams. You are also paying European clients prioritizing GDPR and solid engineering. rates for the whole team including the layers that never touch your software engineering, and a local shortlist is a small shortlist.
Arcode
A small senior team. The people who scope the software engineering write the code, you get weekly demos instead of status decks, and the engagement ends when the thing is live and handed over.

Working with teams in Europe
European clients prioritizing GDPR and solid engineering. Work is remote-first (EU time zones), with written updates you can read in your own time. We usually collaborate in English.
How we work with Europe teams
Most of Europe sits within a couple of hours of CET, so a normal working day gives real overlap almost regardless of which country you are in. We confirm the exact hours on the first call rather than assuming one schedule fits the whole continent.
What Europe clients usually need
European briefs cluster in the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands: SaaS platforms, fintech-adjacent products, and ecommerce brands rebuilding ahead of a busy season.
Contracts, data, and compliance
GDPR shapes almost every project here: where data is hosted, how consent is captured, how long records are kept. We default to EU-hosted data stores unless there is a reason not to, and document the data flow before writing code.
