Engineering capacity
Additional engineering capacity that takes real responsibility.
Yeti works alongside established engineering teams and owns a defined product, service or delivery workstream - inside your practice, with your standards, and built so your team can carry it afterwards.
When this is useful
Delivery is constrained, and the constraint is capacity.
These situations usually arrive together. The common thread is that the plan is sound and the people are capable - there is simply more committed work than there are hours to deliver it.
The roadmap is larger than the team
Committed work is queued behind the capacity available to deliver it, and the sequence keeps being reordered rather than reduced.
A workstream needs an owner
A contained product, service or integration needs someone accountable for it end to end, not another set of hands to supervise.
Legacy work is absorbing the core team
Experienced engineers are held on older systems instead of the work the business is judged on.
Accelerate while you recruit
Permanent hiring continues, and delivery continues at the same time. One useful scenario among several, not a replacement for building your own team.
How it works
Owned work, inside your existing practice.
The engagement is defined by a boundary rather than a headcount. That is what makes it possible to judge whether it is working.
Define the boundary
We agree exactly which product, service or workstream Yeti is responsible for, where it meets your team, and what done looks like.
Work inside your practice
Your repositories, environments, review standards, ceremonies and release process. We adopt them rather than importing our own.
Deliver in visible increments
Work lands continuously and is reviewable by your engineers, so progress is observable without a reporting layer being invented.
Hand over deliberately
Documentation, context and code shaped so your team can own it afterwards. Nothing depends on Yeti staying.
What it covers
A team that can finish the work, not one discipline of it.
Most stalled workstreams need more than one skill to move. Yeti can supply the combination, so delivery does not wait on a second supplier or an internal handover.
Backend and platform
.NET, C#, APIs, services and transactional systems.
Frontend
React, Vue and TypeScript interfaces built to your component standards.
Mobile
Connected mobile products and the systems behind them.
Cloud and delivery
Environments, pipelines, monitoring and recovery.
Product and UX
Definition and design where the work needs shaping, not only building.
Integration
Provider APIs, payments, identity and internal platforms.
Microsoft platform work is described in more detail on .NET and Microsoft Azure, and recovery of fragile systems on technical rescue.
Being clear
What this is not.
Added capacity has a poor reputation for good reasons. It is worth being explicit about the version of it we are not offering.
- Not a body shop supplying interchangeable seats.
- Not an offshore pool with a UK front.
- Not a rewrite proposal attached to every engagement.
- Not a dependency you cannot exit.
Yeti is a UK-led studio, and you deal directly with the people doing the work. More about how the studio operates is on the about page.
Evidence
Products carried over time, not handed over at launch.
These engagements were chosen because they involved sustained delivery responsibility across several disciplines rather than a single project drop.

Sustained product responsibility across a regulated commercial platform and the systems around it.

Tell us which workstream is waiting.
One conversation is usually enough to establish whether a defined workstream is a sensible thing for Yeti to own, and what the boundary should be.
