Make waves. Stay solid.

SolidWaves is a technology consultancy for teams who need software that works on Monday and still works in three years. We design it, build it, and stay until it is running in your hands, not ours.

What
Strategy, build, and run. Usually in that order.
For
Product teams, founders, and the people who join them.
Where
Bengaluru, India. Working remotely, wherever you are.

Two ways in.

You need something built.

A product to ship, a platform to untangle, a team that keeps hitting the same wall. We work alongside your people, write code you can read, and leave the lights on when we go.

Start a project

You want to build it with us.

Engineers, designers and operators who like hard problems and clean handoffs. Contract or long-term. Tell us what you have shipped and what you would rather never build again.

Say hello

How an engagement runs.

  1. 1.0

    Listen

    We start with the problem, not a pitch deck. Conversations, code reading, and a lot of “why is it like this?”

  2. 2.0

    Shape

    A plan you can argue with: scope, sequence, what we will not do, and what it costs.

  3. 3.0

    Build

    Small increments, real environments, a demo every week. Boring on purpose. Boring ships.

  4. 4.0

    Hand over

    Documentation, pairing, and a quiet exit. You should not need us to keep it running. If you want us anyway, that is a compliment.

The work, in rows.

Architecture & platformsSystems designed to survive their second year, and their second team.cloud, data, integrations
Product engineeringFrom a rough spec to shipped software, built with your team rather than around it.web, mobile, APIs
Data & AIUseful models on boring pipelines. Evaluation first, demos second.pipelines, evals, integration
Reliability & operationsDeploys you stop thinking about, and alerts you actually want to receive.CI/CD, observability, on-call
Fractional leadershipA CTO’s judgement, by the week, when you need the decisions more than the headcount.roadmaps, hiring, reviews

Straight answers.

Are you an agency?
No. Agencies sell hours. We take on outcomes, with a small team, and say no to work that does not fit.
How big is a typical engagement?
One focused problem with a clear end date. If it needs to grow, we will say so before it does.
Remote or on-site?
Remote, from Bengaluru. We do not do on-site work yet, and we have got good at making the first week work over a call.
Can I work with you as a contractor?
Yes. We keep a short bench of people we have shipped with, and we are always glad to meet more. Send what you have built.
Why “SolidWaves”?
New waves of software keep rolling in and pushing the old ones back into the sea. A solid team can handle both: ride the new wave, and keep what already works standing.
