Services — both sides of the team

Two services. One practice.

We do one thing — build teams that act in-house — but we serve two audiences. Clients who need to hire, and talent who want to be hired with intent. Here's what each side looks like in practice.

— 01 / Build your team

For companies who want to build a team, not hire one person at a time.

Typical engagements start with a single senior hire and grow into a 4–10 person team over 12–18 months. We work with you from the first hire through the team's first major delivery — and well beyond.

What's included

✓ Discovery — we sit with you to capture your standards, rhythms, and what "good" means in your context.
✓ Sourcing from a deeply vetted Algarve talent pool — not from a CV pile.
✓ Onboarding that transfers context, not just tasks.
✓ Embedded coaching for the first six months of every hire.
✓ Ongoing alignment rituals between your team and ours.
✓ A single point of accountability for hires that stay and perform.

What it isn't

× A recruiter that hands you a shortlist and bills the placement fee.
× An EOR with no opinion on whether the hire will work out.
× A dev shop that does the work in a parallel bubble.

— 02 / Join the team

For talent who want structure without micromanagement.

We're a community of engineers, designers, and product professionals in the Algarve who work with selectively chosen US and European clients. If you care about craft, want a long horizon, and would rather live well than commute, this is for you.

What you get

→ Work with US and European companies who actually care about craft.
→ A structured onboarding programme that respects your time as much as the client's.
→ Ongoing coaching from senior engineers who've been in your shoes.
→ Career progression conversations every quarter, not "at review time".
→ A community of professionals in the Algarve who solve hard problems together.
→ The Algarve. As a workplace, but also as a life.
