Senior Product & Software Engineering Partner

SaaS, data platforms and applied AI — from strategic design to production-ready, scalable systems.

PrimeStrider works with founders and leadership teams to design, structure and industrialise high-impact software products and platforms. Engagements cover the full product and engineering lifecycle — from strategic framing through to the delivery of robust, scalable systems proven in real-world conditions — with a strong focus on SaaS, data-driven platforms and applied AI.

Core competencies

PrimeStrider works with founders and teams to turn complex ideas into scalable, reliable products — from early design through to long-term growth.

Product and business engineering

Problem framing and product discovery. Definition of MVP scope, roadmap structuring and feature prioritisation. Alignment between product decisions, user value and business constraints. Consideration of monetisation models and go-to-market strategy.

Software and platform engineering

Design and development of production-grade, API-driven platforms. Backend systems, distributed architectures, event-driven processing and third-party integrations. Maintainable, testable codebases designed to scale over time.

Data, analytics and intelligent systems

Design and implementation of data ingestion and transformation pipelines. Analytical models, metric definition and high-performance data processing. Data platforms and AI-assisted workflows supporting decision-making and product capabilities.

Architecture, scalability and technical leadership

System and platform architecture reviews. Scalability, reliability, security and compliance for demanding or regulated environments. Technology choices and long-term trade-offs. Infrastructure guidance, deployment strategies and senior technical leadership.

Services and engagement models

PrimeStrider supports startups and established teams through clear, outcome-driven engagement models — from early structuring to long-term technical leadership.

Product and technical discovery

Clarification of business objectives, product scope and technical constraints. Problem framing, feasibility analysis and high-level architecture definition. Establishing a clear roadmap prior to execution.

Product and platform delivery

Design and delivery of production-ready software products and platforms. Backend systems, data platforms and SaaS products built with scalability, reliability and long-term maintainability in mind.

Architecture and scale readiness

Review of existing system and platform architectures. Scalability, performance, security and compliance for growing or regulated environments. Technology selection, infrastructure guidance and deployment strategy.

Technical leadership and team enablement

Tech lead or CTO-level involvement. Supporting teams through mentoring, engineering standards and best practices. Helping teams grow in a controlled, sustainable manner.

Productisation and monetisation support

Supporting the transition from MVP to scalable product. Pricing logic, monetisation models and technical alignment with go-to-market strategy. Turning internal systems or concepts into viable, market-ready products.

Approach and philosophy

PrimeStrider takes a pragmatic, responsibility-driven approach — focused on building real products, making informed decisions and delivering systems that perform in real-world conditions.

Pragmatic, outcome-oriented engineering

Engineering decisions are driven by outcomes rather than trends. Avoidance of unnecessary complexity, with a focus on solving the right problems efficiently. Technology choices are justified by context, constraints and long-term impact.

Data-informed, not data-blinded

Metrics and data inform decisions without replacing judgment. Clear indicators, measurable outcomes and continuous validation, with iteration guided by results rather than assumptions.

Production reality over hype

Production-grade reliability is considered from the outset. Systems are designed to operate, scale and endure real usage, with high standards, controlled complexity and a low tolerance for fragile architectures.

Real-world constraints and long-term ownership

Clear understanding of business, regulatory and operational constraints. Architectures designed for reality: budgets, teams, timelines and growth. Long-term thinking and shared ownership of outcomes.

Why PrimeStrider

PrimeStrider is for teams seeking senior execution, clear ownership and systems that stand up in production — not slideware, delegation or short-term fixes.

Founder-level execution

Direct involvement from a technical founder with hands-on experience across software, data and platform engineering. No junior staffing, no delegation layers and no dilution of responsibility.

Production-first mindset

Every decision is made with real usage in mind: reliability, performance, security and operational practicality. Quality is non-negotiable, and systems are built to last.

End-to-end ownership

From problem framing through to production deployment and beyond. A single accountable partner, a holistic view and coherent technical decisions across the entire lifecycle.

Long-term thinking over short-term delivery

Technology choices are made for durability, not speed alone. Attention is given to future scale, team growth and evolving business constraints, even when moving quickly.
