Senior technical leadership, on demand
A seasoned CTO embedded in your team — without the full-time hire. UXQode gives founders and scale-ups the architecture, hiring and delivery leadership to ship with confidence, as a monthly subscription or a fixed-scope engagement.
Everything a great CTO does — none of the overhead
One accountable technical leader covering the work that usually needs three hires, plugged into your team from week one.
Technical Strategy & Roadmap
Translate business goals into a pragmatic technology roadmap — what to build, in what order, and what to deliberately defer.
Architecture & Scalability
Design systems that hold up as you grow — clean architecture, sensible cloud, and a plan for the load you actually expect.
Team Building & Hiring
Define the org you need, write the scorecards, run the technical interviews, and mentor your engineers as they ramp.
Delivery & Engineering Process
Install the rituals that make shipping predictable — planning, CI/CD, code review, and metrics leadership can trust.
Security & Compliance
Bake in a security baseline and the controls auditors ask for — SOC 2, ISO, MAS — before they become a fire drill.
Vendor & Build-vs-Buy
Cut through vendor pitches and make defensible build-vs-buy calls, so budget goes where it creates real leverage.
A CTO who's shipped regulated fintech
Beyond general engineering leadership, UXQode brings deep fund-tech and fintech expertise — we're the maker of aama.io, and we've taken the full fund lifecycle through NAV, compliance and audit in production. If you operate in a regulated domain, that's a CTO who's seen the hard parts before.
Subscribe monthly, or scope a package
Ongoing leadership as a subscription, or a fixed-scope engagement with a clear deliverable. Indicative pricing — final scope is confirmed on a call.
Monthly retainer
A standing technical leader for your team. Scale the days up or down as your stage changes — cancel or pause anytime.
Advisory
A few hours a week of senior guidance for founders who mostly need direction, not hands on keys.

- Architecture & tooling guidance
- Async support (Slack / email)
- Monthly leadership report
Embedded
1–2 days a week, hands-on. We lead your engineering while you focus on the business.
- Everything in Advisory
- Hands-on technical leadership
- Hiring & interviewing your team

Scale
Multiple days a week across product, security and org — for teams in a critical growth or raise phase.

- Multi-day weekly engagement
- Security & compliance ownership
- Board & investor reporting
- Priority on-call advisory
One-off engagements
A defined outcome, a fixed price, a clear end date. Ideal for a raise, a rebuild decision, or standing engineering up from scratch.
Tech Due Diligence
A 2-week assessment of a codebase, team and roadmap — for investors or founders who need the truth.
- 2-week engagement
- Code, architecture & security review
- Team & process assessment
- Risk report + prioritised actions
Architecture Sprint
A focused 3–4 week deep-dive that leaves you with a target architecture and a delivery plan.
- 3–4 week engagement
- Target architecture & scalability plan
- Build-vs-buy & vendor shortlist
- Costed delivery roadmap
CTO Kickstart
A 6-week engagement to stand up engineering foundations from zero — stack, process and first hires.
- 6-week engagement
- Stack, CI/CD & environments set up
- Security & compliance baseline
- First 1–2 engineers hired
Prices in USD and indicative. Engagements are tailored after a discovery call — multi-month and equity-inclusive arrangements available.
From first call to shipping
A lightweight start — most engagements are live within a week of the first conversation.
Discovery call
A 30-minute call to understand your stage, goals and where the technical risk sits.
Diagnostic & plan
We assess your stack, team and roadmap, then agree the engagement and outcomes.
Embed & execute
We plug into your team and ship — leadership, hiring and delivery, week over week.
Handover & scale
We document, mentor and hand the wheel to your team as it grows into the role.
