Codiaks An engineering team · est. 2019

Custom software that ships. And keeps shipping.

From startup MVPs to banking platforms running across four continents. Senior engineers, product designers, and security specialists who design, build, ship, and maintain production software — same team, kickoff through year five and beyond.

Services

Five disciplines. One engineering team.

Each service stands on its own. Most of our engagements use two or three together because the same posture that produces a clean codebase also produces a clean runbook, a meaningful threat model, and a test suite that survives refactors.

01 / Custom Software

Custom Software Development

Greenfield platforms, legacy modernization, internal tools, and integrations. We write production code that runs for years, with the engineering rigor that keeps it that way.

TypeScript Python Go Java .NET
→
02 / Product Design

Product Design & Prototyping

User research, interface design, design systems, interactive prototypes. We hand engineers something they can actually build, with specs that survive the designer leaving.

Figma Design Systems UX Research Prototyping
→
03 / DevOps

DevOps & Infrastructure

Cloud architecture, CI/CD, observability, infrastructure as code, runbooks. Production infrastructure that runs without 3am calls, and recovers fast when something does break.

AWS Azure GCP Kubernetes Terraform
→
04 / QA & Testing

QA & Testing

Test strategy, automation, regression, performance, and load testing. We write coverage that stays green when the codebase changes, and catches the edge cases that matter.

Playwright Cypress k6 Selenium
→
05 / Security

Security & Penetration Testing

Penetration testing, application security review, code audits, and compliance prep. Findings come with context — what matters, what doesn’t, what to fix first — not a CVE list.

Featured Work

A platform we shipped in 2019. Still running at banks on four continents.

Trade iQ Platform · 2019 → ongoing

A trade compliance platform, built end-to-end and still in production seven years later.

We designed, built, deployed, and have continuously operated Trade iQ since 2019. It’s now running at banks across four continents, including a global tier-one rollout at Citibank. It cuts false positives in transaction screening by an average of 60% and speeds up screening throughput by 85%. The same engineering team that wrote the first commit still maintains the system.

Internal note, Standard Chartered engagement
How we work

A four-stage engagement. Same team from kickoff to year five.

The pattern is the same across every service line. Discover, build, ship, stay. The fourth stage is what most firms skip.

Stage 01

Discover

We map the system, the constraints, the regulatory landscape, and the outcomes that matter. Two to four weeks. Output is a written engagement plan, not a slide deck.

Stage 02

Build

Code review on every PR. Architecture decisions documented as ADRs. Integration with your existing stack. Tested before you see it. No surprises at delivery.

Stage 03

Ship

Staged rollout, observability from day one, complete runbooks, on-call patterns established. Deploy is a non-event because we’ve practiced it three times before production.

Stage 04 — the one most firms skip

Stay

Same team maintains, extends, secures, and re-architects when the business changes. Engineer tenure on accounts is measured in years, not quarters.

Clients

Named engagements with deployments that predate most of our competitors.

Standard Chartered
Tier-one bank · 5+ years · ongoing
Active

Trade compliance system, end-to-end. Running for more than five years and extended twice. Original engineer still on the account.

HBL
Multi-year partnership · being extended
Active

Platform still being extended. Bank-level commendation for transformative operational impact across the trade finance line.

Citibank
Global tier-one · Trade iQ deployment
Active

Real-time compliance intelligence across trade finance workflows. Global rollout of the Trade iQ platform.

AML Authority
Multi-institution deployment
Deployed

Enterprise-grade compliance infrastructure deployed across multiple regulated institutions in parallel.

On the record

Named voices on the record include the President & CEO of UBL, the COO of Standard Chartered, the CIO of Standard Chartered, and the Head of Operations at Faysal Bank Islamic.

Why Codiaks

We don’t sell hours. We sell systems that hold up.

Built for year three.

We optimize for what the system looks like when the business has changed twice and three engineers have rotated through. That’s where the real cost of any technical work shows up.

Documentation by default.

Architecture decisions get written down so the engineer reading the codebase in 2029 understands why we made the call. Runbooks exist. Threat models exist. Test suites are current.

Same team. Years on.

Our engagements don’t end at delivery. The same engineers who built it maintain, extend, and re-architect when your business shifts. Average engineer tenure on an account: years.
