Software,
end to end.

Karmin Services designs, builds, and runs the systems UK businesses depend on — from the first scoping workshop to production, and every release after that.

/ How we work

A process you can see from the outside.

01

Discover

Workshops with the people who'll use the system. We leave with a scope, a risk list, and a number.

02

Design

Architecture and UX decided together, in the open — reviewed with you before a line is written.

03

Build

Two-week sprints. A demo every Friday. You watch it take shape, not wait for a reveal.

04

Run

Monitoring, SLAs, and steady iteration. Launch is the start, not the finish line.

/ Services

End to end — or exactly the piece you need.

Engage us for the whole journey or a single stage. Same senior team, same standards, either way.

/ build

Custom software development

Bespoke platforms, internal tools, and the modernisation of systems that have outgrown their spreadsheets. We design for the way your team actually works — then build it properly.

What you get

  • Discovery and technical scoping
  • Architecture and delivery in two-week sprints
  • Legacy system modernisation
  • Documentation and a clean handover

/ apps

Web & mobile applications

Customer-facing web apps and native iOS and Android, designed and built under one roof. Fast, accessible, and measured from day one.

What you get

  • UX research and interface design
  • React, React Native, and Swift/Kotlin builds
  • App Store and Play Store delivery
  • Analytics and experimentation baked in

/ cloud

Cloud & DevOps

Migrations without downtime, infrastructure as code, and pipelines that let your team ship on a Friday. AWS, Azure, and GCP certified.

What you get

  • Cloud migration and landing zones
  • Terraform infrastructure as code
  • CI/CD pipelines and release automation
  • FinOps reviews that cut real cost

/ advise

IT strategy & consulting

Straight answers on architecture, vendors, and roadmaps — from consultants who still build. Available as one-off audits or an ongoing fractional CTO.

What you get

  • Technology audits and due diligence
  • 12–24 month technology roadmaps
  • Vendor and platform selection
  • Fractional CTO engagements

/ data

Data, analytics & AI

Pipelines you can trust, dashboards people actually open, and AI applied where it earns its keep — with governance from the start.

What you get

  • Data pipelines and warehousing
  • Reporting and self-serve dashboards
  • ML and LLM integration
  • AI governance and evaluation

/ run

Managed support & security

We stay after launch. Monitoring, incident response, patching, and security hardening under a clear SLA — so releases stay boring, in the best way.

What you get

  • 24/7 monitoring and alerting
  • Incident response under SLA
  • Patching and dependency management
  • Cyber Essentials preparation

/ Engagement models

Three ways to engage.

Fixed scope

A defined outcome, a fixed price, a date. Best when the problem is well understood and the goal is certainty.

Dedicated team

A Karmin pod embedded with yours, sprint after sprint. Best for products that keep evolving.

Time & materials

Senior help by the day. Best for audits, rescues, and getting unstuck fast.

Where you'd fit.

Lead delivery in a pod of four, shipping TypeScript across the stack for clients in fintech and logistics.

You'll

  • Own features from scoping call to production
  • Set patterns in React, Node, and Postgres codebases
  • Review PRs and mentor two mid-level engineers
  • Join client demos every Friday

You bring

  • 5+ years building web applications in production
  • Strong TypeScript, plus SQL you're not scared of
  • Experience leading delivery or mentoring
  • Clear written communication — we work in the open

Keep client platforms fast, cheap, and boring — in the best way. AWS-heavy, Terraform-everything.

You'll

  • Build landing zones and CI/CD for new client platforms
  • Turn hand-built infrastructure into Terraform
  • Run FinOps reviews that actually cut bills
  • Carry a well-staffed, rarely noisy on-call rota

You bring

  • 3+ years with AWS in production
  • Terraform and container orchestration experience
  • Scripting fluency — Bash, Python, or Go
  • Calm judgement during incidents

Audits, roadmaps, and vendor selection for Scottish enterprise and public-sector clients.

You'll

  • Run discovery workshops with stakeholders from ops to board
  • Write audits and roadmaps people actually act on
  • Guide vendor selection without the sales fog
  • Shape engagements alongside our delivery pods

You bring

  • A background in consulting, architecture, or senior engineering
  • Comfort presenting to non-technical leadership
  • Structured writing — findings, options, recommendation
  • Curiosity about how businesses really run

Own quality across three delivery pods. Playwright-first, strategy over ticket-checking.

You'll

  • Build and maintain Playwright suites across client projects
  • Define what "tested" means per project, with the pod
  • Wire quality gates into CI so releases stay boring
  • Coach engineers to write better tests themselves

You bring

  • 3+ years in test automation
  • Playwright or Cypress, used in anger, in CI
  • An instinct for risk — what to test, what to skip
  • UK base with the right to work

A two-year rotation across pods with a named mentor. We hire for trajectory, not university.

You'll

  • Rotate across three delivery pods in your first 18 months
  • Pair weekly with a senior engineer
  • Ship real features to real users from month one
  • Present at our fortnightly show-and-tell

You bring

  • Evidence you build things — repos, projects, a portfolio
  • Fundamentals in JavaScript, Python, or similar
  • Appetite for feedback and pace
  • Any background — degrees optional

Our process: intro call (30 min) practical exercise (~2 hrs) team interview offer. Two weeks, start to finish.
