One team for the whole product lifecycle
Engineering, AI and data, cloud and platform, design and quality. Nineteen capabilities that mostly get used in combination, which is why they sit under one roof rather than three contracts.
Every service we offer
Pick the specific capability you need, or describe the problem and let us propose the combination.
Software Engineering
Build the product itself.
Custom Software Development
Systems built exactly to your business logic, not around a template.
Web Application Development
Fast, accessible, SEO-sound web apps that hold up under real traffic.
Mobile App Development
One codebase, both stores, native-feeling on each.
MVP & Product Engineering
The smallest honest version of the idea, in weeks not quarters.
API & Systems Integration
Make the systems you already own talk to each other.
Legacy Modernization
Move off the old system without stopping the business.
AI & Data
Turn your data into decisions.
AI & Machine Learning
Models that earn their place in production.
Generative AI & LLM Systems
Retrieval, agents and assistants grounded in your own content.
Data Engineering & Analytics
One version of the numbers, trusted by everyone.
Computer Vision
Inspection, detection and OCR that run where the work happens.
Intelligent Process Automation
Remove the manual step, keep the audit trail.
Cloud & Platform
Run it reliably, at sane cost.
Cloud Architecture & Migration
Move to the cloud without moving your problems with you.
DevOps & Platform Engineering
Ship on a Friday without anyone flinching.
SRE & Managed Support
Someone is watching it, and it isn't you at 3am.
Security & Compliance Engineering
Build for the audit before the audit is booked.
Inference pipeline
Models that earn their place in production
A model that works in a notebook is a demo. We take the problem from framing through to a deployed, monitored service, and say early when machine learning is the wrong tool.
Grounded, not hallucinated
Retrieval over your own documents with citations, plus an evaluation harness so a prompt change is measurable rather than a vibe.
Costed before it scales
Token and latency budgets set at design time. An assistant that is brilliant and unaffordable is not a product.
We will say no
If a rule, a lookup table or a better-designed form solves it, we say so. An unmonitored model in production is a liability, not an asset.
Built for the audit you have not booked yet
Security bolted on late is expensive and rarely convincing. These four are how we build regardless of whether a compliance requirement is on the brief.
Least privilege by default
Every service, job and human gets the narrowest access that lets them do their work. That gets decided at design time, not patched in after a review.
Encrypted in transit and at rest
Standard, boring, correct. Keys managed in a vault, rotated, and never committed to a repository.
Auditable by construction
Who changed what, when, and on whose authority. Recorded because the system was built to record it, not because someone remembered to add a log line.
Evidence ready
We engineer to the controls behind GDPR, HIPAA and SOC 2 and prepare the technical evidence auditors ask for. Certification itself is issued by an accredited auditor, not by us.
Defence in depth
Four ways to buy the same engineering.
The engineering never changes. What changes is how much of the process you want to own.
Dedicated Team
Your team, our payroll.
A stable squad working only on your roadmap. You set priorities. We handle hiring, retention and cover.
- Ongoing product work with an evolving roadmap
- 3 months minimum, rolling
Staff Augmentation
Fill the gap. Keep your process.
Specialists embedded into your team, your rituals, your repo. For when you know exactly which skill is missing.
- Teams with a skill gap and a process they like
- 1 month minimum
Fixed Scope Project
Defined outcome. Defined price.
A specified deliverable at an agreed price and date, quoted only after a discovery phase that makes the number worth trusting.
- Known scope with a hard budget or deadline
- Per project
Product Studio
Idea to launch. End to end.
We take the whole thing. Strategy, design, build, launch, and the iterations after. You get reported to on outcomes, not on tickets.
- Founders and business units launching something new
- Per engagement
Every two weeks, something you can open.
Six phases. Each one ends in working software, in an environment you can log into and judge for yourself. Never a status report as the only evidence.
Discover
We map the problem, the constraints and the people. You leave with an architecture direction, a scope and an estimate you can hold us to.
Design
Flows, interfaces and data models get settled while they are still cheap to change. Prototypes meet real users before anyone writes code.
Build
Two-week increments, each ending in a demo. Working software in an environment you can log into. Not a status report.
Harden
Load testing, security review, accessibility pass, and the failure cases nobody enjoys writing. This is the step most projects skip.
Launch
Staged rollout, monitoring live, rollback tested in advance. Someone is watching the graphs on the day.
Evolve
Support under an agreed SLA, and a next round driven by what usage data actually shows.
Technology
Chosen for what your team can maintain
Six positions you can hold us to
Not values on a poster. These are the arguments we actually have internally, and the ones that decide what we recommend when it would be more profitable to say nothing.
- 01
The brief is a hypothesis
Almost everyone arrives with the answer already chosen. Sometimes it is right. Often the real problem sits a layer down, and building the stated thing is an expensive way to discover that.
- 02
Boring technology is an advantage
Spend your novelty budget on the part that makes you money. Databases, auth and payments should be so unremarkable nobody on your team thinks about them again.
- 03
Software is a liability until it ships
Code that has not deployed has cost you money and returned nothing. We ship fortnightly so the return starts before the project ends.
- 04
The handover is the product
We write every system assuming someone else will maintain it. That constraint makes the code better. It also means you are never trapped with us.
- 05
An estimate is a promise
A number given to win work and revised later is not an estimate. It is marketing. We would rather lose the deal than win it on a figure we already know is wrong.
- 06
The best feature is the one we talked you out of
Every feature is a permanent maintenance cost. If it won't pay for itself, saying so is worth more to you than the hours we'd have billed building it.
Ten clients. Eight countries. Their words, not ours.
Every quote is attributable to a named person at a named company. Where they named the stack themselves, it is shown. Several engagements are under NDA and can't appear here at all.

“If you're looking for a team that truly understands your business, your goals, and your budget, look no further. The Steganox team gave me confidence throughout the entire process and helped bring my vision to life. I started with no coding knowledge, and now I understand and appreciate not only the design but also the technical complexity behind the website. I'm extremely happy with the final product and can't wait to work with them again.”

The ones you were going to ask anyway.
Answered straight, including the ones most agencies save until after you've signed.
How quickly can you start?
Discovery usually begins within one to two weeks. Augmentation placements move faster. A full dedicated team takes longer to assemble properly, and we would rather say so than rush it.
How do you price work?
Dedicated teams and augmentation are priced monthly per person. Fixed-scope work is quoted after discovery, because a number given before anyone has opened the codebase is a guess rather than an estimate. We do not bill you for that discovery. You get a written scope and price before any build starts.
Who owns the code and the IP?
You do, from the first commit. Work happens in your repositories under your accounts wherever possible, and all IP transfers to you under the contract.
Do you work with in-house teams?
Often. We adopt your stack, your branching model and your review process instead of importing ours. If we spot a gap we'll say so, but the decision stays yours.
What happens after launch?
Your call. Some clients take full ownership with a handover and documentation package. Others move to an SLA-backed retainer with monitoring and on-call.
Can you sign an NDA first?
Yes, routinely. Several of our projects can't be listed publicly for exactly that reason. Send yours over, or use ours.
How do you handle security and compliance?
We engineer to the controls behind GDPR, HIPAA and SOC 2: least privilege, encryption, auditability, evidence trails. Certification comes from an accredited auditor, not from us. We prepare the technical evidence they ask for.
What if the project is not going well?
You hear it from us first, in that week's demo, with a proposed correction. Engagements are month-to-month after any minimum term. You are never locked into something that is not working.
Tell us the problem. Not the solution.
You get back an approach, a real range on time and cost, and a straight answer on whether you need us at all. Sometimes that answer is no.
